[QUOTE]Originally posted by karybu: [QB] Thanks for the reply....I've been thinking about seeing a naturopath, but I guess I don't really know what they do, so I've been kind of hestitant. I never thought of a nutritionist though, I'll look into that as well. As far as keeping myself hydrated, I drink at least two liters of water a day (I'm pretty athletic, so I know it's important to stay hydrated), and while I really hate the taste of cranberry juice, I have started taking cranberry tablets, which my doctor said is a fine substitute for juice. My diet isn't perfect, but I do my best to stay away from simple sugars and a lot of starches. As far as dairy goes, I don't drink milk very often but I love yogurt and cheese, so I do have a couple of servings of dairy a day. I have a couple of allergies, but they're of the cat hair/dust/mold/pollen variety, and I've pretty much always had them. And yes, I'm up to date with all my STI screens, pap smears, etc, and part of the reason I'm so frustrated and why my doctor is so confused is because all the results of those tests have always come back negative. There doesn't seem to be any underlying cause of this, or any pattern that I can figure out (no predictable time of the month, for example). I am on Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and have been for about a year; could that possibly be making things worse? I guess I'll try and find a naturopath, but I'm not exactly sure what that is, really....could someone describe what sort of thing they'd do? I just want to get this sorted out once and for all, and I'm willing to try pretty much anything at this point. [This message has been edited by karybu (edited 09-06-2005).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
