I actually do already That and I eat a ton of fruit and lots of veggies, and generally try to maintain a very healthy diet. I've had a wacky system since I was about 14 so I've just learned to deal with its up and downs pretty well. Most docs I have been to have brushed it off as one thing or another or thought I was some kind of hypochondriac since I'm a veterinarian (apparently that makes me not a "real" doctor). None of it really interferes with my life in a terribly drastic way so I'm inclined to ignore it.
