Stats is pretty interesting stuff, and not as scary as people like to make it out to be. The math involved is really rather mechanical, just a few fairly straight forward formulas for the most part. It's all about the correct implementation of those formulas.

Oh goodie! My first volunteer to help! :p

It's not that I'm scared of math, it's that I suck at math. Always have. My brain doesn't process it in a way that is understandable.

I took a Stats class at OCC, was getting tutoring (by a 16 y/o) and had to drop it.

We'll see. I am taking it in the summer, so I can take it again in the fall if I need to.

More times than I can count. I used to get them chronically and take daily medication to prevent them. That hasn't been necessary for years, but I still get episodes once in a while.

Keep an eye on them. I have to take prednisone to clear up an episode of hives. The last time I didn't hit the steroid right away I ended up with one eye swelling shut and my joints starting to freeze up. Not that this would happen to you or anything, it's just a caution to not dismiss them if they start to spread or look like they're getting worse.

Otherwise, dose up on the benedryl and take a nap until it stops itching.

I had an allergic reaction to fabric treatment on a new shirt I bought at the gap. It started out as hives in the shape of a shirt on my body which then spread all over. It took 3 days for it to go away. It was completely awful and, while benedry and calamine helped, it ended up just having it run its evil course.

Stats was the MOST evil math course I had to take - and I had to take stats 1 and 2. I thought I was going to DIE.

Uhoh, is GC allergic to being in a relationship? :eek:

Oatmeal baths help too. And use fragrance free laundry stuff.

Soooo....
 

I took Stats in college can't remember which year and i got an A in the class. I enjoyed it and had a very nice professor who would work with us give us examples and go thru each chapter making sure we all understood it before moving on. The tests were a breeze and i am not smart when it comes to math seriously wasn't until college did i get A's in my math classes. Maybe it was the teachers themselves i don't know. Good luck.

I get hives after touching holding Gina the rat. Have to leave her in her cage no more picking her up.

I took two Benadryl and got knocked out.
I just got up.
There are no signs of the hives anywhere.
My skin is tingly where they were, but it totally cleared up.
It's amazing how the human body works. I thought there would be scars or something. Nada.
I feel fine now.
:)

Weird, no?

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

YAY! Glad you're feeling better!

Wow! Amazing stuff!
