After my first year of typing, I was also feeling eye strain, etc. My brother told me me to go to the eye doctor and get some glasses specifically for computer use. Not just the cheap reading glasses type. This is the best thing I have ever done in regards to being an MT. I cannot remember the price, just told them I spent approx. 8 hours in front of a computer daily and had eye strain, headaches, etc. No fogging, haziness or anything. They never leave my desk either, just sit right by the computer. Try it.

My husband and I got tired of the kids coming to the kitchen a bunch of times during the day and each time grabbing a new glass to drink from - even after we asked them to pick a spot on the counter to keep their glass at and rinse it out/wash it after every use.  Previously we'd end up with the dishwasher filled on the top level with glasses every day.

I went to Target and found different colored plastic tumblers.  I bought a tumbler for everyone in the household.  At supper time tonight I put all tumblers on the table and told everyone to pick their favorite color.  After this was done they were all told this is now their color to use, and they're solely responsible for their tumbler each day, and are to rinse/wash it as needed throughout the day.  I then went to the cabinets and proceeded to pack up all but 4 glasses we have in the cabinet - and those 4 I've moved to the very top shelf.  They know that if their tumbler is found outside of the kitchen the problem is solved of "who left the glass on the living room table?"  None will be allowed to wonder to bedrooms or they'll lose their tumbler and have nothing to drink from but a small juice glass.  If we have company they can use the 4 glasses on the top shelf.

This should work and we'll no longer have dishpan hands!

have a series of his albums (Sam's) and my older sister was into Jackie Wilson (he died very young)......never will be anything like Motown was..........*nods*......

no sugar made me feel 20 years younger.  sounds strange but it is true. 

if you are presently on sugar, it will be hard for a few days, but really worth it.  i personally cannot do a gradual weaning off sugar but need to go cold turkey.  same with white foods - white bread, white flour, white crackers, white whatever.  i eat protein, protein, protein when getting off sugar.  fish, skinless boneless chicken, every 1/2 hour if you are hungry. after a day or two, you will not want sugar or white foods.  you will be satisfied with lean protein - the less beef the better - and vegetables.  and no milk or milk products.  sounds strange, i know, but i would be willing to bet my next paycheck that you would feel 150% better.  eat like that for awhile and then start adding back in the foods you cut out.  one at a time.  gradually.  maybe one food every 2 weeks.  and notice how you feel.  your body will tell you what it does not like.  yogurt was the first food i added back in and right away my nose started running, clear drainage, knew that i could not handle yogurt.

that is just what i have done and what works for me.  not medical advice at all.  just my experience.

that is why i can post that i thought * nn * sounded angry, deeply angry.

and it is MY OPINION that you sound very young.  maybe in 10 or 20 years, you will get the gist of what is going on here.

give it a rest.  i know i am.
