The best way for you is to get the support of pure herbal series of Himalaya's ayurveda and consistently develop immunity and strength.

These are safe and side effect less. You may have to go for an year or so with parallel mode but start noticing changes after first 2 months.

If found suitable your doctor may slowly ask you to switch to non toxic herbals as an alternative to current drugs.

Any Ayurveda doctor can guide you well on this. My 33 years experience is not wasteful. Yes, drug manufacturers lobby won't like this idea. Honest doctors will always encourage you to find alternative solutions when best of allopathy has not been able to help. Allopathy is not bad but Ayurveda gais more importance in similar situations as yours.

Hope you find an answer.
