  1. Late to the party on this bu,t have you tried warm lemon water or magnesium? Both work for me.
  2. Landry Academy has both Equine Science and Into. to Vet. Med. My daughter is taking both this year. Equine Science is only a semester class. Intro. to Vet. Med. is a 2 semester class. She has enjoyed both classes tremendously! I knew she was worried about high school so we decided to let her start with elective classes to help her understand what would be expected of her. I would love to hear feed back on allonlineag.com. And thanks for the lead on the Texas A&M program. She will be excited that the option exists.
  3. Could 2 kids share and still be able to get something out of it? Or should cheapskate me just buy 2 accounts?
  4. We are using Dancing Bears Fast Track. And my guy is doing well with it. We have had none of the evaluations that so many discuss. We have used WRTR and Phonics Pathways in the past. Good luck, everyone must choose the path they take. Sorting thru all the choices is very hard.
  5. I don't remember not hurting. I have periods of time that are more bearable than others. For quite a while now its been bearable. My pain is like a serious sinus infection, but its all the time. The searing pain that I sometimes have is harder to get away from. The throbbing I can set aside a little easier. Like I said if I keep busy it is less bothersome to me. Triggers for me are cold weather, really hot liquid in my mouth, and brushing my teeth. My doc. that does my chiro/acupuncture introduced me to a tens unit. I do think that it helps. My unit came from Amazon for under $25. I tried both topamax and gabapentin. As well as several others. Either didn't do anything or had a reaction. Doc. didn't want to do high doses of anything or combine anything. Just kept telling me to be patient. I think because I didn't come in crying they didn't take me seriously. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I just expected too much. In the beginning I remember laying in bed (couldn't sleep because it hurt too bad) and thinking that pain like this should cause you to have a big red blinking light over your head so that everyone know. Maybe I should be asking you how you found doctors who listened and cared??!! My chiro. has been so much more helpful to me than traditional Dr. Problem is that I don't have an hour a week to give to her. And haven't for quite a while. My only help at the moment is a drink before bed to help dull the pain so I can get to sleep. No, not the greatest answer. But, I don't have the side effects of the drugs either. Just kept hoping that it would calm down as I get older. AndyJoy~~I have noticed that pain from something else and the TN together will almost send me over the edge. The last time I had a sinus infection the pain from the two was so bad dh was ready to haul me to the ER. Sleep is the only way to get away from it. I had wondered about the nerve surgery. I'm scared that they would hit something they shouldn't~~ I'm a chicken that way!
  6. I have it. I went through heck to finally be seen by a Neurologist. Then changed doctors a couple of times. Tried treating it. I don't care for the side effects of the meds. Eventually I gave up with neurologists. That doesn't mean you should!! That was just my decision. Tried 4 different medications over about 8 months. With no significant reduction in pain. As long as I stay busy I can separate myself from the pain somewhat. But, when I am still I do have a harder time coping. Last year I tried chiro. and acupuncture and had good results. That might be somewhere for you to start if you have not been referred by another doctor yet. As far as severity, I have had a period of time when I hurt so bad that my face was drawn some. Just enough that my husband and kids could tell when they looked at me. People outside of my immediate family would just think I was scowling or that I was grumpy. I have seen videos of folks who were considerably drawn. Doctors said it was a side effect of the pain. Stress only adds to flares too. Hope someone else will answer. There are days that are still tuff to get through!
  7. For older kids 39 Clues series, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
  8. :lurk5: Listening in!! Struggling reader here too. Looking for suggestions for how to handle next year with him, while I am working too!
  9. Thanks Margaret!! I will try it. Just finished a batch of lactic acid cheese made into homemade Velveeta. It looks good so far.
  10. We hand milk here. And the dishes NEVER seem to be all done. I've made a gallon of yogurt a day for the last 4 days! If you strain it long enough it comes out just like cream cheese! We will attempt a homemade cheese press tomorrow. At the moment we have 10ish gallons of milk. Gotta do something with all that tomorrow!!! I made mozz. last weekend. Didn't store it in any liquid and it turned hard and nasty. Does your recipe stay soft in the liquid? When we were in London I found the most wonderful tomato and mozz. sandwiches in the grocery store deli. I'm trying to replicate that kind of mozz.
  11. I'm listening in on this one! I have a 9 yr. old in the same boat. We have used Spalding. I'm tired, he is tired. Yes, it is getting better. But, geez!!!
  12. Oh geez! I made it thru without buying the last time it was offered. Uggghh! So, I'll spend the rest of the night second guessing myself and come back tomorrow to see what else has been said. :lol:
  13. That is encouraging!! The hard part will be deciding which product. Thanks so much for anwersing!
