I think this doctor is overworked and over-tired

She starts the dictating normally by saying the patient's name. On this one she says, "This is Dr. X dictating for (patient) Sore Throat"

I had very low BP when I was tired a lot...
went to the doc and he told me I needed to eat more protein. I was not only tired, had low BP but was also cold all the time. He also ran me through the battery of tests and everything was okay. I eat very healthy, have only one day that I call my bad eating day, on that day will have dessert, maybe fries or a soda. I exercise 5 or 6 days also, that revs me up too. It sounds like you are doing really good things for yourself, especially with little ones to chase! Have you been to the doc at all?
someone's tired
dictated: It is on the right side and it did not cough with clearing.
Should be: clear with coughing!
Tired
How many MTs out there are just tired all the time. I feel run down all the time and I shouldn't. I do not drink caffiene because I have mitral valve prolapse. This is getting old feeling bad all the time. Any suggestions? TIA.
He is tired a lot, but I put that down to the insomnia - sm
He goes to bed at 9 or 10 and wakes up at 2, so living on 4-5 hours of sleep a night would make you a bit tired. No jaundice. He has some body ache from time to time, but figure that is normal aging. He only gets nausous after cooking. He cannot eat right after cooking, his mom is the same way though. He does not have a good appetite though, that has been getting gradually less and less, eats a light lunch and dinner, no snacking thoughout the day, though he has not lost weight, probably because of the beer though. He has had a lot of stomache upset lately, so if I get get him to a GI doc maybe we will discover only gallstones. He has had a couple kidney stones already, though he only mentions them after the fact. I told him he has to keep the stone so we can get it checked/analyzed to see what type of stone it is. He is an ostrich with its head in the sand. I just dread if anything ever serious is diagnosed as he will most likely refuse treatment which I think is insane. I have a very strong will to live and we have 2 kids, so it is hard to understand. AS for the other comment on the will, yes we did that years ago, and we both have life insurance as well so in that respect I'd be okay, but I'd rather have him here, not in the ground.
I'm in my 1st trimester and very tired....sm
with my last pregnancy, which resulted in a miscarriage, I wasn't. Anyone else have a lot of tiredness? I used to sleep only 6-1/2 or 7 hours a night and now am sleeping 8 at night and taking a nap during the day. I'm hoping the tiredness is a good sign. I see the doctor this week for my first checkup.
Apparently you are not tired enough of it
As you are still letting them out and expecting a different result. You can only truly control YOUR actions. Keep the cats inside.
I have problems being tired as well
I think you need to go see a doctor, I have an appointment next week to find out where the fatigue I have is coming from. Good luck.
Tired--I could have written that! (sm)
I used to have to go down for a nap during my lunch break and if I wasn't careful, I'd oversleep by at least a good hour. I even tried working a split shift, which only made my fatigue worse because I'd take the 4-hour break in between just to sleep.
My husband is on the verge of needing insulin shots due to his very poorly controlled diabetes. His latest health report scared him enough to make him a willing participant in a strict diet. I am also on this diet to help make things easier. It totally bites the big one but I'll tell ya, WHAT A DIFFERENCE in my energy level--his too! We figure it just had to be the sugars and carbohydrates that were dragging us down.
No more breads, pastas, rice, or taters....all the things we really loved. We do munch all day though but on teeny portions of good stuff--mostly raw things like fruits, veggies, or bits of egg & lean meats. No more cream or sugar in our coffee, and that's just limited to 1 cup of black a day. No more butter either--my personal favoritest fat.
Been on it almost a month now and I can honestly truly feel a difference. I almost have enough energy to start exercising, which I didn't have before.
I'm 5' 10" and topped off at 230 but am now down to 220 just by this diet alone with no exercise. I'd be happy at 185 but once winter hits...man, I just don't know about that! I haven't been to a doctor in about 2 years either, but I'd recommend you visit one if you can, just to rule out stuff, ya know?
Hope you feel better soon!
I know you are tired of me, but I just wanted to say
the pictures both of you sent are beautiful. The cat looks like one of my niece's. Lisa had a tonsillectomy Monday at age 45 and I am going over today on my day off to help her and to feed and care for the two cats! What a day this will be. The red one comes up to me and stares at me with those big yellow eyes and actually puts his nose against mine! I try so hard not to laugh, but I lose every time.
 
Thank you so much! I am so tired of feeling like (sm)
I am running around in circles, wasting my time! I really hope the doc will approve it and that the meds will help.
I am so tired of being fat, I am starting something soon
I am glad to see your post because I am having trouble getting into those size 20s and I am not going any higher, that is too high like it is. I have some problems that I am sure are associated, the main 1 now being incontinence and I mean it is not just a little. My blood pressure is a little elevated and I am sure that would come down with the loss. My feet also give me some problems, probably tired of carrying all this extra stuff. i had heard some about this and glad to know available right up the street. Thanks again!
I got really tired of the same from g'kids and get this
their mother would be sitting there tearing open the packages for them (they were old enough to do on their own). I told her several times to please let the children open. Have not given gifts to them now in about 3 years so don’t have to put up with that anymore. Let them open like they wish, out of it.
Tired and worn out
I am sure a lot of you are in the same boat I am, but I just need to vent.
I am 50 years old, married for 33 years, have a 26-year-old daughter (schoolteacher) who lives at home.
We run our own business, plus I do transcription. I receive no help whatsoever. I run the office for the business, do all the housework (dusting, dishes, laundry). I am hating to get up in the morning because I know I just face the same thing every day. My husband and daughter are very busy as well, but I wish they would just pick up after themselves. All I do is pick up and never get to serious cleaning or organizing. I am going in circles all the time.
I am ready to pack my suitcase and run away. There has to be more to life than this.
Thanks for letting me vent.
tired of shoveling..sm
Bet you don't miss that heavy wet snow....after shoveling your car out for 1-1/2 hours and the snow plow comes back and spews it in your face and you've gotta start all over again. Scraping ice off the windshield, trying to deice the locks to get into the car. Getting stranded in a blizzard with 2 kids (at least you had the presence of mind to bring blankets, extra clothes and snacks). Rolling down the interstate, hit a patch of black ice under the snow, do a coupla 360s and the kids say "Mommy, do it again!" cause they thought is was fun. Shoveling the roof of your house so it won't cave in. Clearing the driveway and walks, putting down rock salt so nobody slips.
It would be really nice if it just fell on the grass like in those old Currier and Ives pictures/cards.  Cat
Tired of shoveling said almost all
of it. I hate snow. Snow is back again today. I just cleaned the gunk off the car yesterday, but now it is back. Looks like black and gray mucoid substances hanging from door handles of car and flung up along the sides onto the windows. The ice wrecked one of my wipers today on the way in to town. The concrete at my home is taking a beating from all the snow melt we have used. We now need new concrete. My carpet is trashed from all the in and out traffic even though feet are "wiped off" - my husband's shoulder is out from shoveling so much. I barely got to see the ground before it started back. People are on the side of the highway putting on chains, crawling around in the dirty snow, ice and crud. Yummy! I wish I could be in a warm place and not wear boots. I am typing with my wool hat on (lovely -I look like a fashionista just so, so stylish, and my daughter is laughing at me because she says I look like a "Canuck" (I guess she means a Canadian from a snowy place, but who knows, she can't stop laughing long enough to explain). I have on three tops (two are fleece) and ugly warm pants with Uggs on that go up to my knees. I am still cold. The dogs don't want to go outside. Whenever I open the door for them they look at me like I am a "killer" or something. If you have dogs I bet they are smiling! Mine like the snow at first and roll in it, but when it hangs around too long like it has been they go into "dog depression" and it is sad to watch. If it snows too much all at once I have to get on a ladder to clean the snow off the top of my car so it does not slide over the windshield and totally block my view (dangerous - it happened a couple of weeks ago and I almost had a cow because I was on the freeway and suddenly it was just dark inside my car and it did not fly off). So, drive around and be happy! We could send you videos of the different stages of snow, I guess. The first fluff, the "snowed-in look" clean and beautiful, then the plowed up gunk and all cars off the road, etc. and then all the tired, depressed, cold people who would give their right arm to join you in your snowless paradise. Hang in there! You must be confused because God has blessed you greatly! I am eating my heart out right now just thinking of your "misfortune" and dreading the sun going down when the roads turn to an ice rink and the crashes begin, sometimes multivehicle.
I just got tired of all the droning on and on
NM
We have this all the time and never get tired
Sooooo easy.
We buy chicken thighs (more juicy and tender) Sprinkle some McCormick's Season All (red seasoning - we've tried other red seasoning powders but only like McCormicks) then we grill them on the George Foreman Grill. We have steamed rice and salad with it. Can't get any easier than that. We also sprinkle the same seasoning on salmon or lamb and they all have their own unique flavor.
seems that is why they are all here on this tired old thread.
it's come here or turn on each other !!
NOW THERE'S A VISUAL. LOL
too tired to cook
We just have homemade tostadas and microwave them. You can put anything on them and there are no dishes, pots or pans.
I wish you luck. I'm too tired to do
the second or third job anymore, or else I would try again. I did it for 20 years. but I'm burned out. I'm no spring chicken and will be celebrating another year older on Monday which also doesn't make me happy, but time does not stop.
Hubby is retiring next year and I'm really trying to stop him as it means only $1400 a month coming in for him...of course, he has no bills, while I have all of 'em. My reitrement bennies are only $700 a month because they deducted SS from me when I first went IC and didn't have to pay taxes because I was at a loss those first years. It's a ripoff. I had gone from $800 a month in the ྌs to $200 a month 3 years later. Now I'm back up to the above amount after 10 years. What a ripoff!
I hope you're a lot younger than I am and can get yourself out of debt before you are like me. I wish you the best.
Do you get very tired after eating?
I do and I don't know what to do about it. If I even just eat a hamburger I get so tired and it last about 45 minutes or so.
Probably will be exhausted and too tired - sm
to do anything as I wlll just be getting back about 5 pm from a 1.5 day trip to
DC with 13 girls in our Girl Scout troop. Four other leaders, myself, and 13 girls are going up to DC on Friday for an overnight trip, seeing the sites, etc. though our White House tour got nixed as Obama has cancelled all tours until at least March which stinks as we put in our request months ago....we willl be out all day Friday and Saturday until about 3 sightseeing, then the 2 hour drive back home. I will most likely find a card on my desk and some flowers though upon my return. He will find a card from me when he gets home from work on Friday. ----then I will have to work all day Sunday and play catchup for the work I was not able to do on Friday that my backups did not get done.....which I really hope is not the case.
So tired of this happening.

tired of working at home
I understand completely. I left a wonderful office job with two weeks paid vacation, paid holidays, paid sick days, and good insurance, and a nice Christmas bonus six years ago to be home with my two children after my divorce. I really miss the adult conversation and the aspects of having an office job. I don't miss the office politics though. My boys are now in college and I'm looking to get out of this business and back to a normal job before long. This job served it's purpose, and I'm greatful I was able to be at home.
anyone get tired of working at home?
i came home to work seven years ago. i had a baby, and couldn't stand to leave him at a baby sitter. he is now 8 and i now have a 4 y/o. but lately i'm feeling like the kids are really taking me for granted (why not, their kids, right??) and sometimes i feel like if i'd get a job outside of the house, i'd have a little more respect and maybe more help around the house. i sometimes miss the "adult conversation" that you would have if you worked at a hospital or office. but when my kids get sick i am thankful i'm here at home and can be with them. i just get so stressed out sometimes! i'm sure i'm not alone. happy holidays
I mean RENTALS jeez I'm tired nm

Just tired of people having every excuse why nothing is their
asdf
So tired of changing my clothing day after day after
well, you get the point. I basically am ok while sitting- just when getting up or in the morning, unable to make it 10 feet without an accident. It has been past time I should have seen about this, too busy trying to make that $$$ and other things I got going on. Now is the time!
I'm sick & husband is being mean...just so tired of it
 I am sick with a bad cold or maybe the flu, not sure, so I know I am more emotional because of that...but my husband made breakfast this morning, waffles, and called the kids, then after they started eating said, "oh, do you want to come eat?" So I went in the kitchen, and he had melted butter for the waffles, but he had left the paper wrapper in the bowl of melted butter. Without thinking I just took it out and put it on a napkin to throw away, the tablecloth is plastic and it was on a napkin so it is not like it was going to hurt anything. He started fussing, "why did you have to take that out?" I said I didn't know, didn't really think about it. "Well I was going to take it out after we were finished eating, I didn't want a greasy spot all over the table." I said, " I put it on a napkin, there is no grease on the table so don't worry yourself over it." So then he said, "well why couldn't you just leave it in there? I was going to take it out later." I said, "it just looked kind of gross sitting in there, I'm sorry I took it out." Then I went to get a fork and noticed the bowl he had used to mix the pancakes was sitting on the counter - he had used all the mix in the bowl, just still had some left on the edges, so again, without thinking (I'm a mom and a wife, it's just second nature to me), I took the bowl and put it in the sink and filled it with water. He yelled at me, "why did you do that?" I said, "I am just soaking it so it will be easier to clean." "Well, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO TOUCH IT!!" So I said, "Nevermind, I don't want to eat." I put my plate on the counter and left the room and started crying...I guess because I am sick I just can't take things as easily. So I was in the next room crying and he says, "why do you have to make such a big deal about everything?" and I said, "why do you have to be mean all the time - you don't have to talk to me like that, it is unacceptable for you to talk to me like that." So now he is mad because in front of the kids, I told him the way he talked to me was unacceptable. But I don't want them to see him act like that and think it is alright, so I am going to continue to say it is wrong. I dont want my daughter to think it is ok for her to be talked to that way or for my son to think he should talk to women like that. My husband's father has always talked to his mother that way and still does. They just had their 50th Anniversary, so he thinks it is ok...it is NOT ok. I am not going to just sit back and smile about it like she does. And that makes him soooo angry!
He had rented a room for us for New Year's Eve - but he has been so mean lately I don't want to go. It was expensive and is nonrefundable. I don't see the point of going there trying to act like we are so in love when we are not, so now I told him I am not going to go. Why torture myself being locked in a room with him for all that time??
He is the same one I wrote about a while back who scraped up my good cake pan and who thinks he may be an alcoholic. This past Friday, he took the day off from work, went hunting all day, was supposed to be back about 7...called me at 9:15 and said he drank too much and was not driving home. I was glad he wasn't going to drive drunk of course, but why does he have to keep going out getting drunk? He goes on several day-long hunting trips and can't call, sometimes he says because of no cell phone service and sometimes he says because he was so drunk he couldn't see to dial the number.
I think it was late, and she was tired and worrying (sm)
Things always seem worse in the middle of the night to me!
I was so tired after my children were born (sm)
I wanted to be left alone because my house and myself were a mess. I was exhausted and did not have enough help from family, but the kind of mess you don't want your friends seeing. I should clarify that I had a c-section each time, so was recovering from that. I would maybe bring her food and give it to whoever answers the door with a note that says "I know you're still exhausted - I'm here if you need me - call me when you're up to it." And leave it at that. Just be patient. Unfortunately some of my friends abandoned me too and a few weeks later when I needed them, they were unavailable.

No, just tired of hearing idiots
such as yourself. Always shooting the mouth off...if I want to smoke it is my business. People like you have real problems - always getting involved in other people's business to cover up your own inadequacies.
I sure get tired of the old, "If you don't agree with
There is WAY too much of that in the corporate world. And the WHOLE world, for that matter.
One can quite accurately trace almost every evil that exists in the world today down to that one mindset.
Especially today. Tired, bored, etc. SM
I always have my TV on in the next room just for noise and every now and then to catch something going on. If it was turned off now I think I would be asleep!
tired of the same ol sucky situation
I think most of us here are finding ourselves in a similar situation and it really sucks big time. Used to be a time where things were afordable and wages were enough to cover expenses and have just a little to save (little like less than $100 a month). Now it is not paying one thing so you can pay another. I'm lucky that my paycheck just covers all the bills (and I have to really watch the food or else were sunk, and I keep my place a lot cooler than I prefer and my fingers feel like they are frozen all the time), but what kind of a future are we looking at. Is this all there is to life? I have a DH and he has not been able to find work in over 4 years so I have to cover everything. Needless to say I can't remember the last time we went out to eat (maybe 3 years ago). I haven't had money to go to the eye doctor, dentist or GYN doc in 4 years, and I need all.
Jobs are horrible all over. Out of 12 people in my family 6 of them still have jobs. The other six were laid off either due to downsizing or their company went out of business and 2 more are looking at being laid off in January.
I would say now is a good time for Obama to give us some of that help he promised us during his campaign. Forget the bailouts. Maybe if they gave every legal American that is of working age $1000 a month for the next 5 to 10 years the economy would turn around instead of giving it to the people who already have the money.
I hope things will get better for you and hope you have a kind-hearted landlord that understands the situation you are in.
Sorry, I didnt mean to offend you, but i'm tired of sm
being "punched in the gut" by the Christian majority in this country. Just please accept that not everyone thinks that the Bible is, well, the literal word of God.
Yes, I believe in Karma and I live a moral life; I just don't have that "personal relationship" with your savior.
Again, sorry to offend; I just see the world differently.
Maybe they are tired of the "fashion" for +size sm
If you are not overweight, you have no idea how hard it is to find fashionable clothing that fits correctly for a reasonable price. And if they are younger women you are seeing, they probably do not want to wear the shapeless clothes and muumuus that every store offers for larger women. They want to wear what everyone their age is wearing. Unfortunately, they can't find it in their size, so they buy too small and wear it anyway.
I get a little tired of the hype over Adam.

Is he jaundiced? Is he fatigued or tired? I believe these are the early sm
signs of cirrhosis and you didn't mention either of these.
I am the same boat with my husband. He has had elevated ASTs and ALTs for about 5 years now - keeps going up, and he is severely jaundiced. I pray, pray, pray that it is his gallbladder (as are you, I'm sure) because you and I both know that any liver damage/disease is very scary for them and for us too!
My husband is fairly young, in his mid 30s, but I know that liver disease can strike any age if you are unhealthy. He is unhealthy. Our PCP told him to make an appointment (finally) with a GI doc which I am going to do tomorrow. My husband has been putting me off from doing this (pure fear) but he knows he must be seen.
I am very, very concerned about the jaundice. His skin is yellow! It's been getting worse over the past 6 months or so.
Anyways, good luck with your husband.
If you're not tired of hearing about mine, LOL
I have posted regularly about my two, Sasha and CJ. The dog I lost at Christmas was my most enthusiastic digger, and preferred to sleep outside when it was cool. I'd often find her lying in a circle inside the mole moat she had dug. I assume she wanted to be ready in case the moles popped up close at night so she could surprise them. She was my red and white girl with the big teddy bear face. She could shove her head in a hole up to her ears. She also liked to snorkle like a bear when she swam, with just her eyebrows above water.
Sasha is my pure white Siberian (a rescue we've had for 6 years, now age 7), and at times as dainty as a poodle (hence her nickname "Poodle Girl"), but she is also quite the hunter and has showed off more catches than Misha ever did. Sasha has brought in moles and birds and we have also witnessed her catching squirrels - quite a feat.
Most recently we added a 6-year-old named CJ - our first male. He is a complete mama's boy and quite the chow hound. He would stand on his head for a chicken strip. He is gray and white, marked just like a malamute, so one of his nicknames is MiniMal. He happens to have lovely deep brown eyes, so we also call him Rootbeer. Since he's our first male, DH is having a terrible time remembering to refer to him as a HIM, so I also call CJ Boy, and DH has picked that up, but still says HER because it's such a habit. CJ has a bit of a nervous tummy. He'd been placed with a couple of families by his breeder previously, but had been returned because of issues. His issues are that he doesn't like to be left alone, and supposedly howls if he is. Of course he's never been alone here since I currently work at home and Sasha is always here. Now if I go outside and leave CJ inside, he watches like a hawk out the window or storm door. Sometimes he will cry for me, but I have trouble hearing him even if it's only the glass storm door that's restraining him. So if his vocalizing was a problem, they had to have been leaving him outside. Umm, this dog in not a yard dog, so that's what the problem was. Which makes me kind of mad. You shouldn't get a dog if you aren't smart enough to figure out solutions to things like that, IMO.
Heck, we sold our townhouse for our first dog, and purchased a house with a shaded, fenced-in yard for our first dog, because she needed that. So why somebody couldn't put in a doggy door or take their dog to day care or whatever it took to make it work, I don't know.
Insomnia, heart fluttering, tired (sm)
all of that too?
I am so tired of hearing so many people I meet say they SM
hate cats. What is with these people, and what in the name of God do cats do to offend so many people? One of my friends told me on a shopping trip last fall about 15 times how she hated cats, but LOVES dogs. Finally I just fired back at her and asked her what in the world was wrong with HER? She got red in the face and muttered something about hating when they rub up against her. Give me a break. I could not take any more thatt day. Every shop we went into and she saw a cat on a picture, a mug, ANYTHING and I had to hear how she hated these wonderful, clever little creatures. All my life I have heard this nonsense. What is it with CATS?? My sister and nieces have cats and always have had them and we could not love them more. Would you believe last year my niece was in line at the store waiting to pay for cat food, when a guy behind her actually tapped her on the shoulder and looked at the cat food she was buying and proudly stated I HATE CATS. I agree with my niece when she said to me a few months ago that cats just don't get the recognition they deserve. When her cat of 20 years was failing but according to the vet not in pain, she took him to bed and slept next to him so he could die in her arms, which he did. We will never forget our Willie. He had a sweetness that will live on forever.

I am more tired getting ready for a holiday than if I were to work are you?
I don't know about this "Easter Bunny" business. I have today off and there is not much work anyway, so I decided to get ready for Sunday (I have 3 little kids). All I did so far today was go get my daughter a dress, and my boy an outfit, got all the basket stuff together and put them together. Then, I worked on me, day of beauty stuff, hair, etc. I have not worked today, yet doing these things I am exhausted! And I still have to dust, vacuum, declutter office, and bake a cake. Not to mention clean my sons' bathroom (eewwwww). I am putting all that off until tomorrow. Does anyone else find that although transcribing can lead to fatigue at times that doing chores and getting ready for holidays is more tiring?
Ugggg, calgon take me away.... Happy Spring Holidays everyone!
