  1. Here is a quick background: I probably also have PCOS, though never officially diagnosed. My Mom has it and my sister and I have many of the symptoms. I have a period maybe 3-4 times per year. I have had hormone testing in the past and many of them were off but nothing ever really worked to regulate them either.

     

    Now I am noticing my fatigue getting so much worse. I can hardly wake up in the morning and am groggy again after lunch. I am only really feel awake in the evening and later in the night when I should be asleep! I also have that foggy head feeling quite often.

     

    So, I had my B12, T3, T4, zinc, and A1C tested. Now think I should have asked for Free T3 and T4 instead of total, so I will probably have to redo those. The total T3 and T4 are both at the low end of the normal range. With the PCOS I thought if my A1C was high maybe I should try Metformin. But it was normal.

     

    Does anyone have any thoughts on what else I should be testing or doing? I can not stand feeling this tired all the time!

  2. We tried it, I was not a huge fan. The part I liked best was just that we got some writing done because we were following deadlines. Other than that, you just post things and get comments back. I wanted more direct instruction. We actually didn'tend up finishing the course, so I may not be the best one to give advice!

  3. Low thyroid causes thinning of the outer 1/3 of your eyebrows. I have no idea why!

     

    I was losing a lot of hair, not in a specific spot, but when I combed my hair after a shower a bunch would come out. I

    started taking zinc for other reasons and noticed there is less hair loss now. Not sure if there is a real connection there, but it does seem to be continuing to help.

  4. Thank you all so much. This is starting to make more sense. I did only order the books based on the recommendations on the website. I didn't even think to look at the S&S to see if that was appropriate. Thankfully, my 12 year old is a little advanced and shouldn't have a problem. I hope!

     

    I think I will start with my 9 year old first just to get a better handle on how it works, and then once we have it going I will start with the 12 year old.

  5. I am getting ready to start CW Aesop with my 9 year old and Older Beginners with my 12 year old. I have all the books and have looked through them but still feel a little uncertain of how to actually begin!

     

    Would it make sense to work with both at the same time or will that make things confusing?

     

    I will take any tips or pointers that you have!!

  6. We live in Lima, Peru and I know what you are talking about Heather! Sometimes I have to close my eyes and just not watch what is going on because it is so crazy. (just riding, not driving!)

    What I think is so funny is that to get a drivers license here you have to pass a lot of tests. Written, behind the wheel, psychological, strength, etc. But people drive like madmen.
