RB - I haven't forgotten my omega's! I have to be careful about the amout of pills I intake. I had to stop all the vitamins/minerals and what not's with the bone marrow transplan. Everything I can put back naturally, I do. I love avacados and salmon. Eating all the right oils and seeds...just trying to do the best I can for this tired body. Thanks for the reminder.
