Jesus said the sick need a physician. If there is a doctor that can help treat the illness that you have then you need to go to the doctor. If there's a medication that they recommend for the illness, as Christians we need to take advantage of the medication. I learned when I was in my early 20s (and I'm soon going to be 60) that I had hypertension so I started taking medication for it. I started feeling better and I got off the medication, but then I started to have headaches so I started back to taking my medication and I've taken it for over 35 years now. I recommend that if you have been diagnosed with an illness that you go to a doctor and you take the medications and the treatment that's recommended and if you find that that doesn't work then look for other ways to deal with your illness. There are herbs and home remedies sometimes that prove to be just as effective as professional medicine to deal with illness.
