  1. Has anyone had any experience with these that they would share? I know the classes are fairly new so I was hoping to get some feedback before making a decision..thanks (-:
  2. I should clarify also that the pain is only on the left side..kindof the the right of my hip bone.
  3. Neither doctor saw any cysts on the ultrasounds... I don't have any migranes so that can't be it. Could be kidneys, but I haven't had any painful urination or anything like that. One doctor suggested a cat scan, but I'm scared of the radiation. What should I do?
  4. I have had this ache in my lower abdomen for 3 weeks now. It comes and goes and isn't sharp or terribly painful...I'm just aware of it. I've been to two OB/GYN's because I could have sworn it was my ovary on the left side(I'm breastfeeding and haven't started my period yet). Both OB's did an ultrasound and said it wasn't my ovaries..all they saw was a lot of poop... I then went to a GI doctor and again she felt like I may be constipated.... She felt around the area and didn't feel any tumors or anything... For three weeks? I'm still going #2... so I don't understand. She also had my thyroid and calcium checked-both were normal I eat very healthy(although we have been at a couple of fast food places in the last couple of weeks)...I eat lots of fiber-green smoothies, beans, not much meat... I'm at a loss of what this could be...could i have pulled a muscle on that side? What would you do?
  5. Do you or your children have any experience with this that you'd be willing to share? My husband has been corresponding with them for about a week. He has 64 credit hours and wants to finish his degree(it's required with his new position he is taking). They said that they could accept 57 of his credit hours and he could finish his BSBA in General Management in 1 year. He would CLEP 19 and take 2 courses... Would love some feedback-the good and the bad if you have it to share :001_smile:
  6. It's probably not it, but my son had a fever(he was 5 months old at the time-he's 8 months now) for 4 days. They admitted him to the hospital immediately after I brought him to the doctor and he was diagnosed on the 5th day with Kawasaki disease. If not treated, it can affect the heart and cause anyeurisms...Please take him in. Kawasaki is diagnosed by symptoms, not by a specific blood test(although they do have some they use)...he could have atypical Kawasaki.... The classical symptom all doctors look for in Kawasaki is 5 days of fever.
  7. I just recently signed back up because I wanted to be on Pintrest, but I'm not accepting friend requests(it's amazing how many friend requests you get from people I have no clue who they are). I was on many years ago and gave it up for Lent one year and never went back. I'm happier without it, but I know that alot of people love it..to each their own (-:
  8. We are using the vocubulary words given in HOD this year. My one son is having a problem. The assignment involves writing the definition, an antonynm and synonymn and a sentence with the vocabulary word. He does great until he gets to the sentence. Upon discussing it with him, I know he understands and comprehends the meaning, he just struggles thinking of a sentence to use it in...how do I help him with this?
  9. I just noticed there is like a white spot on my bre@st... it's like dried up but thick..does that make sense? This stinks... Oh...I don't have dizziness or chills anymore. I did have them yesterday but it's gone now. I just have the soreness and lump still there.
  10. Thanksgiving evening I started feeling really bad-chills,body aches, really tired and my left bre@st hurt sooo bad...well I went to bed but didn't sleep well because I had such bad body aches. Yesterday, I stayed in bed all day and nursed the baby. I also took 4 cloves of garlic as I read that may help if there is an infection..I was sweating all night(I'm assuming I may have had a fever that was breaking). So, today I feel better as in no body aches or chill but my bre@st is still tender and I can feel that their is definetly a lump or hard spot in there...should i just continue what I'm doing or go to urgent care?
  11. I have twins that are turning 10 in December and Ican't think of what to do for them. It can sometimes be difficult because everything-everywhere is decorated for Christmas so it's hard to make it feel special. I'd like to do something creative and original for them..any ideas?
  12. It could be the well just doesn't have many gallons per minute to fill your need. We have one well that if we run it for about 45 min it will run dry for a couple of hours. The well pumps about 1 gallon a minute of water that then fills the tank.
  13. I grew up in Florida and have been all over the state. By far my favorite thing to do was to snorkle with the manatees in Crystal River. It's so much fun!
  14. My doctor said if it was under 140 2 hours after a meal, I got a B, if it was under 120, I got an A+:001_smile:
  15. Can I just put a positive spin on your situation? You live in the mountains! I would soooo love to live there! (I live near Charlotte and while we do have a mecca of homeschool groups of every flavor) I would still choose living in the mountains! May not chear you up, but just trying to look at the bright side.:001_smile: I bet you could find something near Asheville or Boone-are you near Boone? Boone seems a bit crunchy, yet not as extreme as Asheville.
  16. Thanks! I'm thinking (and praying) that the hair loss was just normal hormonal hair loss after a baby but wanted to make sure. I feel fine(lots of energy, happy,etc) just wanted to double check with blood work. From what I'm seeing online, the #'s do look good, so that makes me feel better.
  17. Based on a previous thread I started(due to hair loss after pregnancy) I wanted to get my thyroid levels checked. I used healthcheckusa(thanks to a kind person that recommended them) and I got the results but it doesn't say anything about the #'s being good or bad..could you help me with that? My TSH is 1.57 My T4 is 1.1 and something called Triodothyronine,free serum is 2.7 ( I think this is free T3) Help!
  18. Is this the test I need? http://www.healthcheckusa.com/Thyroid-Function-Profile-with-TSH-Premium/46937/
  19. I found this website that sells at home thyroid test : http://www.testcountry.com/categories.html?cat=16 I'd like to get my iron levels tested as well but can't find a pharmacy that does it where I live(I've found several in other states). I just want the single finger prick that tells if I'm low in iron. I really think I'm probably fine(maybe low in iron) but I'm losing an extreme amount of hair(and have been for about 4 weeks) since the baby was about 7-8 weeks old. I have no other symptoms that I'm aware of(a little dizzy at times but nothing else)...but just want to rule these things out before I accept this is just normal post partum hormones. I don't have any depression or anything like that-in fact I'm really happy..except for the hair loss. Does anyone have any experiece with these tests? I would rather not go to the doctor unless I know something is wrong. I don't have regular insurance(Samaritan's Ministries-I don't want them to have to pay for this) but I also have a cautistrophic policy that doesn't start covering until we reach the deductible. Do you have any suggestions of where to get an iron test and if you think this thyroid at home test is good?
  20. We would like to vacation in NW Florida at the beach somewhere but I've never been there and looking at VRBO.com is so overwhelming. We want to stay on the beach or within walking distance but we don't want a busy beach(I grew up near St. Pete Beach and like it quiet). We don't want to stay somewhere with a golf course, restaurants, etc. We want to stay somewhere with mostly homes, fishing villages, and quiet beaches(did I mention we like quiet:001_smile:). We've never been in that area so I don't know where to search. I've heard Destin is nice but all I'm coming up with is resort style condos with golf, etc. Do you have a beach you'd recommend in that area that fits our description? Thanks for you help!
  21. I guess I could but they need daily review of the concepts we have covered in the unit. For example, we are doing units of measurement now and have covered volume, length,etc. We are almost done with the unit and studied ml and L today. When I looked foward to the review, I saw all the concepts covered before and know they won't remember all the conversions because it's been a week or two since it's been covered. They need daily constant review and I don't have the time to make worksheets every day(I have a newborn baby too:001_smile:)
