h does the same thing as your daughter. She has friends that live off campus (They can move off as sophomores) and heads over to their houses and does the cooking so she can as she puts it "have something edible" h would starve on a vegetarian diet she loves meat. I would bet the college would be ok with her visiting her friends for dinner if they knew about her PSC. Is she a vegetarian due to the PSC? One way I can tell when my common bile duct is ready to be stinted is that I can't eat any meat, even chicken and fish don't sound good. I'm curious about the co-op and how they work.

h would definitely trade the English for the math. She has to take Calc next fall and is dreading it. She had a head injury in the 3rd grade and has been a mess in math ever since. The Dr told us it might be a problem. We just tease her and call her our dingy blond

The fatigue can really be bad because when you are feeling good sometimes the centers aren't open. After about 3 in the afternoon I am worthless. I try to have all my "thinking" work done by then. I work for my husband and he is very understandable about being tired. I told him I wanted a couch in the office or one of those bench seats like they have in the GI offices at Mayo so I could take an afternoon nap.

>>It must be hard for your daughter with the choices they have in the cafeateria. << Compared to most college cafeterias, they have good food - at least they offer vegetarian and vegan options each meal in every cafeteria (my daughter is vegetarian leaning toward vegan). Unfortunately, most of the kids committed to really healthy eating within the vegetarian and vegan range are in co-ops, so the the school gets lazy about being creative in that area - and a lot of the vegan food (particularly) sits around not being eaten so it gets overcooked or dried out.She's been hanging out with buddies in co-ops on weekends and helping with cooking in exchange for being allowed to eat there more frequently than they are supposed to have the same guest.>>I don't know if her school has it, but MSU has learning centers for math, english, physics and engineering where the kids can go to get help.

h struggles with Math and has been to the learning center for math she also said that the English Center will proof papers. <<There's help, but my daughter has been too fatigued (and proud) to access most of it. She aced her calculus last semester (she's better at math than I ever was, and it was one of my majors) - maybe she and h can get together and trade expertise since the brain fog is impacting her ability to put coherent thoughts on paper, but her ability to do math seems intact.
