I have used Handeze gloves for years -
I have been an MT for 10 years and using these gloves (just on my right hand) for the last 8 years or so. I cannot remember any adjustment period. Maybe try just wearing them around the house for doing light tasks until you get more used to them. I would not give up these gloves for anything now, simply love them! Best of luck. 
Soft-Flex and Handeze are 2 brfands of gloves
that MTs often use. I use SoftFlex. They are thin nylon with a bit of spandex. I got them for the little wrist cushions they have that protect the medial nerve when the heels of my hands started burning. They do protect the nerves and cured the burning, and I remember to wear them because they keep my hands warm. I love stuff that serves a dual purpose. :oD Oh, and I do have Raynaud's, so these gloves are good even for somebody with that problem.
The HandEze gloves are nice w/the wrist support. I like them in the winter. Other brands to

Perhaps you aren't in a state that has a vote today. There are many MAJOR issues
and candidates for people to vote on today across the US.
I actually wear gloves, regular knit, but thin gloves.
I get so used to typing with them on, when I take them off I have a hard time adjusting again.
Smart gloves vs. Softflex gloves - Advice
Anyone use these for typing? Do you still have enough range of motion? I am struggling and have tried to type with my braces on but of course I can't. Any advice would be great!! Thanks.
Does your program change lower case to upper? If so, type all in lower and
it will change the ones it is supposed to.
I wouldn't lower my rates. Should I request a lower CPL from my employer
because I use a ton of normals, templates and such to increase my line count?
Handeze sm
I've been using Handeze for almost 15 years. I love them. They can be bought in most drugstores or online at http://www.handeze.com.
Hope that helps!
My preference is Handeze.
.
SmartGlove and Handeze, type with both on.
nm
Also wear Handeze. They keep wrists and hands
warm with some tension, not too much though, but helps with carpal tunnel also, being that they are elasticized. I bought mine through craft catalogs, such as Herrschner's and Mary Maxim. Can buy them through the catalog or online.
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
Upper case is lower, lower case is upper. Using InstaText. Anyone know how to fix this?
Aargh. It happened all day yesterday. When I brought in text that was all caps
IMPRESSION:
and had lower case on keyboard (as always do), it reverses keyboard commands. This is driving me c-r-a-z-y.
gloves
I wear gloves that are made for carpal tunnel, cock up, and have modified for thumbs to have more freedom. I also own a pair of gloves designed for transcriptionists. use search enging on internet and put in gloves for transcription. I cannot remember the name of the company, but they are great.
gloves
I have the Soft Flex and I absolutely love them. This is my second pair.
Kid gloves sm
You sound so....ANGRY. MT or editor, it's just a job. Some editors have the mistaken idea that they are somehow above errors.....like the editor that tore me a new butt because I typed, "at the time of intromission" (dx pelvic pain during intercourse), corrected me to "interim admission." Doncha think that was pretty pathetic too? I laughed. I also demanded that the report be corrected back to the way I typed it....it was.
Anyone use gloves?
I'd like some feedback. My hands freeze, get stiff and hurt. Does anyone use gloves?

gloves
this is awesome! thanks!!
Gloves sm
Yes, I've been wearing them for the last 15 years. I use Handeze gloves. I bought my last pair at Osco. I absolutely love them! My hands don't get as tired and sore when I use them. They're thin, and I can hardly tell I have them on.
Hope that helps!

http://www.tesco-shopping.com/SoftFlex.htm
The above gloves are especially designed for typists. They have foam strips that take the pressure off the heels of yours hands, especially if you prop them on your keyboard. I love them and they work really well.
I tried the gloves to see if they would help...sm
many MTs swear by them, but I just hated the feel, guess I never got used to them, and thus I have had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands (16 years will do that to ya!). Be sure to stretch your fingers regularly, and don't forget to take a break here and there, my neurologists told me it was crazy to just sit and pound away at a keyboard for hours .. but then, they were the doctors! I have a doctor who believes in naturopathy, and believes taking B vitamins, especially B6, can decrease carpal tunnel. Give it a try, the vitamins AND the gloves! Take Care!
Gloves
I tried compression gloves (supports). I bought them at the local drug store. They do help on my very busy days or on long-winded doctors and we all know they're out there.

I've used these gloves for years and I think they're great! They're definitely worth the investment IMO. There are other brands out there, look on eBay.
Buy some "Smart Gloves" sm
You can Google them on the net. They're only about $20 bucks apiece, but they are the best! They have saved me after taking on MT full time for the last year.
Do any of you wear gloves while
And if so, what kind?
My hands get very cold while I type, which makes them stiff and therefore makes it harder for me to type.
Have any of you found that wearing a thin pair of gloves maybe with just the fingertips cut out helps this at all?
fingerless gloves
I use gloves from Pat Systems at transcriptionpaper.com. They are soft, have support at the wrist, and have no fingers. I wear mine every day because I have CTS but am pain-free when wearing them. Highly suggest them!
fingerless gloves
My hands get cold too. Someone on here awhile back suggested just getting those cheap stretchy gloves and cutting off the ends of the fingers so I tried it, and it works for me, but I don't have any problems with wrist pain. All I need is the warmth, and it seems to work. 
FINGERLESS GLOVES
I buy a pair at Walmart for $7.49 about every six months or so...they work great for me...mtgal847
You might try SoftFlex gloves.
I think they are only $25.00 a pair, and you can buy them on line. It made the tingling in the heels of my hands go away, which was not actually carpal tunnel, but just irritation of the medial nerve from pressure. It was worse in my mouse hand because of the way that hand rests on the heel more.
For those who wear gloves
for RSI/carpal tunnel problems, which brand do you use? I'm curious because I have been looking at a few different brands on-line, but cannot seem to find them locally, so my husband picked up one from Wal-Mart last night, which does seem to be helping the pain somewhat, but it is difficult to type while wearing it. Some of the ones I've seen mentioned on here before (Handeze, Smart Glove, and Softflex) appear that they may be more flexible than what I've got and so better for working.
Any info you guys could offer would be a great help and much appreciated. 
Typing gloves
I bought my fingerless gloves at Sav-On (any drug store). They are in the department with the braces, heating pads, etc. Hope they help. They help me a lot.
I had some knit gloves and ...sm
cut the finger tips out just high enough that they don't touch the keyboard. Works wonders! I look like a homeless person, but hey, it works!
smart gloves
Love the smart gloves. they have sort of a bean bag on the palm and do not restrict your typing at all.
okay, what's those gloves some MTs wear?
i never paid much attention before, but 2 of my fingers are so cold; and now i want to know!!
question on gloves
I just purchased the handeze gloves, and seem to have a more difficult time dong my work. If you have tried those, did you find there was an adjustment period?
I am now wondering ifthe softflex ones would suit me better.
If you have used either, did you have any problems, any adjustment period??
what kind of gloves are you talking about? sm
Are they traditional "gloves"? Sounds like something I need to check into. Any website to check out? TIA 
SoftFlex computer gloves help me. (sm)
You can order them on-line. I think part of the reason our hands get cold is because our hands are a little higher than our elbows, so the blood doesn't circulate very well. I have Raynaud's, so I am very conscious of cold hands. You can't type as fast when they are cold. If you have a heating pad, you can put it on your lap and maybe it will warm up your arms and help your hands. That's what my dad's secretary used to do, and I used to do it before I got my gloves. Also, beware of a desk that sits up against a window - the cold air will shoot across the desk and end up on your hands. Brrrrrr!
Smart Gloves. Google them. They are the best!
Softflex Computer Gloves
Has anyone tried the Softflex Computer Gloves lately? I am thinking of ordering some. I have some computer gloves bought locally, but they have Latex in them, and I think the Softflex might be Latex free...?
Happy Saturday!
Fingerless Typing Gloves - Where to buy?
A friend MT, the lady who mentored me, told me to get some fingerless typing gloves (to protect from wrist problems), and that it's been years since she bought hers at a company that she believes was called "PAT Systems" but she couldn't find them online. Anyone know where to get these?
Thanks a lot!!!!!
