Re: [Glimmer 'Colored Filter Glasses'] SSS

I am from Tx also.....Mauriceville,TX....where are you from......how old is your
son and who found out that he has SSS. We changed school districts last year
and the new school found this out....my son is 14 and in 9th grade....he has
always made A and B however we have pushed him all these years...and now it is
so sad to know how he has struggled to stay up with the rest of the
class.....the Taks test is what would be the worst....he always passed, however
he would be so sick after 3 days of testing....and last year the school was able
to copy his test in his color....my son is double purple, and that is so deep
purple that they can't make an overlay to fit him..he does have an overlay and
it does help but he still doesn't see like me and I feel I need to get him all
the help that is possible so he can see the way I see...the more they add colors
together the blurrier it gets for him...he does not wear glasses(eye sight is
20/20) and he writes on a very dark purple/blueish
paper....the school makes him notebook paper....they have been wonderful to him
and we know that God is the one that opened the door for him to transfer to that
school....he does play sports and always has(basketball) and is extremely good
at it....so he doesn't have the depth perception----now that we can see.....I
have called a Dr. in Baytown and she is to call me back....I am pretty sure that
we will go see her for filters....he only sees one or two LETTERS at a
time....and I am going today to the book store to buy a large print
dictionary....he let me know last night that he couldn't see the small print.
Thank you for your insight....every little bit helps.....
Tesa



Thank you, Lord for teaching me to depend on you.

Hi Carrie, Yes, it is very serious when you go to a chiropractor for help, have his adjustments, and those adjustments make your symptoms worse. I was in an...
