Yes, from what I know, it’s a type of synesthesia. Here’s an article about it: https://synesthesia.com/blog/grapheme-color-synesthesia/ My 18 year old daughter has this with numbers as colors and each number has personality as well! It’s quite interesting! She had no idea that not everyone associates colors with numbers - we figured this out a few years ago. She is not on the spectrum, so no correlation for us there. I do have a form of synesthesia and I hear that it runs in the family.

I haven’t had covid, but I have the symptoms you described because of low ferretin. Could you possibly have low iron or low ferretin? I hope you feel better soon!

I would like an invite as well. 2 of my kids are in this age range.

Thank you both! I appreciate your help!

My son went to a b&m school for 9th and 10th grade and we're planning on homeschooling him for 11th and 12th grades (mainly to take advantage of free DE classes). My question is on how to write his transcript. Do I write one that includes the 9th and 10th grade classes that he took or do I write one for only the grades I homeschool (knowing I will send in his b&m transcript to colleges)? Thanks for your help!

Soror, you are describing me completely in your post (even down to the problem sleeping getting worse around your cycle). Although, I don't usually get a lot done because I am so tired from the lack of sleep, but I also feel wired. I have Hashimotos and also, I believe, adrenal issues. I had this happen 5 years ago after a stressful move and I moved 3 months ago in an even more stressful move and this same problem is happening again. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.

I have been a lurker on the boards for many years, but recently moved home to Minnesota. I had no idea so many wtmers lived here! I found this page today that might be helpful: http://www.hsadventures.org/homeschool-groups. There's quite a few secular groups out there. Hope that helps!

The past few times my friend has eaten at Chick Fil A, she has gotten a horrible migraine. She believes it is the msg or the soy.

Thank you so much!! That's a huge help!

I am new at all of this, and I have searched everywhere for an example of what I am looking for, but haven't found it anywhere. My son took an online film making class this past year, but he also took a 10 week film class at co-op (not really a class, but together the kids made a movie), read some film making books, took an intro to screenwriting course online, etc. How do I write the class description to include all of that? Or in general, what do other moms do when their kids utilize online courses (that maybe wouldn't equal a credit on their own, but paired with other things, do)? How do you explain it the the class descriptions? Thanks for any help!

Drinking diet soda can also cause symptoms similar to MS. I have a few friends that this happened to and once they stopped drinking diet soda, their symptoms went away.

We found a free downloaded geography program on www.seterra.com and the kids love it. They've learned a ton, too.:001_smile:

My husband and I have radically changed our diet - we gave up sugar, caffeine, and processed foods. This is our 12th day and we've had aches and pains, stomach issues, fatigue and he's had flu-like symptoms (which I credit to the caffeine withdrawal - he drank a lot of soda, whereas I only drank a little caffeine). A naturepath told my friend, who is doing the same thing, that it could take about a month to feel good. Yikes! I had no idea that I would feel this bad while eating this good. It's definitely made me realize how much junk I've put into my body. Ugh!
