    Oh yeah, we used Jann in TX for a year of math with my oldest. I think her middle school course is probably a year past what we need. The pre-req says 6th grade should be completed with a B or better. Now, where is my copy of Lial's BCM? I should take another look at it.

    I do have tutoring as Plan C, or G, or H. I used Wyzant with my oldest for awhile, but I don't even know if they're still in business. I saw an ad for A+ Tutoring, but all their reviews are five stars, which seems "sus."

    I'll have a look at these. It helps when people have specific courses and teachers they like, even if the class is full. Thanks.

    DD isn't ready for prealgebra.

    We did BJU 4 and last year she did R&S 5, which had a lot of overlap with BJU 4. ETA: Now that I think about it, maybe I should just look through my stash of BJU TMs and leftover worksheets and see where I should place her.

    I'm looking for live online classes for my rising 6th grader. I need to outsource everyone this year, so AYOP or anything that will require me to do teaching/correcting will not be a good fit for us this year. Background: I used BJU math with this student until last year, when I put her in a cottage school that used Rod & Staff. I found myself saying, "Didn't you learn that last year?" a lot. This year I've switched to another cottage school, but they don't provide math and I'm on the waiting list for their science/LA day. DD is average in math and science, and is almost definitely AD**H**D. I'm looking at several providers and having trouble choosing the right provider and the right level of coursework. WHA, VP, Mr. D, Aim... Same for science. Last year they studied insects. I've seen a few science classes, but I'm leaning toward something that is geared toward 5th-6th rather than 6th-9th. Thoughts?

    Haven't tried the stand test yet. I will recommend it.

    I think there were. It presents as "fluttering" when sitting or standing.

    It's funny you mention the salt. I had considered salt levels to be a possible factor, since she has been living with people on low-salt diets for several years.

    What if the heart rate decreases by 30? In this case the tachycardia happens when lying down.

    The cardiologist provided a continuous at-home monitor, but it didn't reveal anything. I'd also considered SVT. Ha! I just got one for my dad for Christmas. I think I'll recommend that, as well as a BP cuff.

    I have considered POTS, but the docs have not. I had planned to suggest starting iron and other vitamins, but wanted to wait on the blood work report. I will have to ask if vitamin levels are on there. It had creatinine, BUN, standard stuff my parents get done all the time, but I don't remember vitamin levels. UPDATE: blood work was standard blood panel, no vitamin levels checked. No neurologist yet. Friends with chronic migraines and CFS have suggested that as a next step.

    At this point the food doesn't help anymore, not like it used to.
