you might get on a good calcium with magnesium supplement to aid in good healthy of your bones. My chiropractic treatments have decreased tremendously since I got on the drinkable kind! Good luck......there's enough pain in the MT world these days without pain in one's body, too!

Me too after 20+ years, I drink lots
and lots of coffee.
I would agree with the walking. And drink lots of
water.
I actually lost 20 lbs. after I started to work at home. No pastries, donuts, pies and candy in the break room anymore. :) And I've had time to walk and I drink water instead of tons of coffee with cream and sugar. Of course I still have my one cup in the morning so I won't yell at the kids. :)
Truth is, as an MT, I can't afford pastries or gourmet coffee. The water comes out of the faucet and the exercise membership, i.e. walking the dog around the neighborhood is free!
Worked for me. Give it a month. You'll not only lose the 10 lbs., you'll really feel great.
Yep, when I drink green tea instead of eating junk foods, or if I drink it while I'm exercising,

POLL: Drink of choice. What is it that you drink the most daily?
 
How about phosphatidylglycerol, maybe in amniotic fluid. NM
It's called AMNIOTIC FLUID EMBOLISM.

Throwing some lighter fluid on that Book of Crap!

Wow, on Discovery Channel - Preg woman delivering suffers leak of amniotic fluid into mom's
mom having an allergic/anaphylactic reaction.
Heart can't push the goo through.
Body went into shock.
She couldn't breathe.
Her blood began to clot.
Docs did emergency C-section in 6 minutes.
Then mom went to cardiac arrest.
Then another catastrophic thing happened.
Paula began hemorrhaging massively from every part of her body....from eyes, ears, nose, every incision, every bump and bruise. All her blood clotting factors had been used up.
Docs poured blood clotting factors into her.
The baby's chances of survival were at 50/50.
Mom was then noted to have unusual swelling in upper abdomen.
Surgeons reopened c-section.
Astonished to find 1 gal of clot-filled blood. With the clots removed, her blood quit clotting.
Of the 10% of women who survive, most are brain-damaged. Only 1% survive without any damage. She turned out to be in the 1% luckily.
A day later she was holding her baby and was OK.
=========
All this started with her first labor pain of her second child. It was the leak of the amniotic fluid into her blood stream that caused her to immediately start to feel like her throat was "closing up" and she couldn't breathe (anaphylactic allergic reaction). She passed out pretty quickly.
TMJ treatment
I have had TMJ for years. I had an appliance that I wore for years, and it helped, but was nothing permanent. I don't remember everything I did, but quite a few things. This year we started going to a chiropractor, and one of the things he has worked on is the TMJ issue. He uses some kind of a little tool on the jaw, gives it a click or two, which pushes on the bone at the joint, and this has helped more than anything I have done over the years. My daughter also has TMJ, and this very simple treatment has helped her, too. I don't know if all chiropractors do this or not. He isn't a go-in-and-have-your-back-adjusted-because-it-hurts kind of guy. We started out seeing him three times a week, and are now down to twice a week. He has helped all of us (hubby, daughter, grandson, too), and we consider him a big part of our health care. Knowing what I know now, I'd certainly opt for this very simple treatment before I did surgery, braces, appliances, etc.
QA Treatment
Well said MTheaded.
BBQ, slaw, cornbread, ham, casseroles, lots of veggies, chicken pastry, lots of desserts!! BIG fami
.
aggressive treatment sm
You are correct. I hope I never get that QA person!
I wish you the best of luck with your treatment.
I worked with a lady who underwent treatment for a lung mass and she worked up until she got too tired, but bounced back really well once the treatment was over. She came back really strong. There are so many new modalities to treat it. As far as your work, I am wondering if you could try to do as much as possible and find someone in your area to assist when needed. The reason I say this is because this will keep you sort of balanced. You don't want to give up your clients because they will be support as well. You may just want to mention it to someone you trust at the practice, and I think you'll be surprised at how supportive some offices can really be when you are dealing with these types of issues as an independent. Take care and God Bless!
Who is dishing out the bad treatment?
Sometimes I have to remind myself that those persons at these companies who treat/treated me badly are not the owners. The recruiters, QA, trainers, account reps, supervisors, unpleasant person who answers the phone, etc., are usually employees as well. Whenever I have experienced foul treatment at a company, it has come from these other employees. Whenever I have actually had contact with an owner, they have generally been very nice and respectful. Of course, I'm not referring here to pay rates and benefits, just attitude and respect.
Lots of inexpensive decorations at Big Lots. Had a party last year.

I hope you're OK and are looking into treatment.
I had a bit of a cancer scare myself about a month ago on top of losing my job the month before that. The doctor said I'll probably still need surgery but the condition isn't malignant. I'm getting rid of things left and right and trying to figure out what to do with my life now. I even gave up on two of my hobbies because I never have time for them. Well, you take care of yourself. {{{{hugs}}}}
she was in Mexico for treatment for cancer, BUT...
From what I heard on GMA a few days ago, the clinic she was in was deplorable. There was even an article about it on the Watchdog website, AND the man running the clinic was NOT a doctor. So, what does that say about the person or persons who took this woman there for treatment?
Just Finished Treatment for Sciatica
I was diagnosed with sciatica/piriformis syndrome about a month ago. My physiatrist sent me to physical therapy for Graston therapy and iontophoresis. I was to the point where I had to sleep in my recliner with a heating pad on my hip. Of course, this is the result of sitting for too long......a battle wound common to the medical transcriptionist.
The Graston therapy is pretty painful and you really wonder how it could possibly help. The iontophoresis consisted of a patch with two large circular pads connected by an electrode. The pads are soaked with dexamethasone. The patch is then stuck to the butt for 24 hours. It's painless, except I pulled off a couple of layers of skin when I removed them. I had this done about 5-6 different times over a three-week period. I was also taught some gentle stretches to stretch these muscles, which I haven't been too diligent about doing.
Bottom line is that I completed my PT about two weeks ago and I haven't had any pain since then. I hope you get some relief for your condition. I know how very painful it can be.
or "more agressively treatment"....
that hurts my ears! LOL
Why I deserve more money and better treatment as an MT...
I do NOT transcribe "medial sonoscopy."
Good Lord.
LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

Symptomatic treatment is the only thing you can do, and watch for

It's Laetrile and it was supposedly used for cancer treatment

I'd give the kids the same treatment on their birthday....sm
that should get their attention!
Sounds like you are giving them star treatment!
Good job!
i have telangiectasia on face. laser treatment - very painful...but works
what could be more unsightly that broken veins on the face? well, lucky me, i have them. eveyr few years go in for treatment. electrical zaps to destroy broken blood vessel. Hurts like the dickens though. Can't use pain relievers because it causes constriction of blood vessels, they told me.
Meant to say normal treatment for woman in Amish comnmunity. nm

I drink because of this job.
I don't drink it as much as I used to...sm
I stopped drinking one a day just because the cost was prohibitive (it adds up at $2 a can). It's almost worth it, though. I swear, within about 10 minutes of drinking one I can tell a difference--not just energy-wise, either. I feel a lot sharper and can focus better, too. I have switched to drinking coffee just because of the economic reasons, but it's really doesn't have the same effect for me.
If you end up trying it and are concerned about calories, the sugar-free has 10 calories as opposed to 110 in the regular kind. I can tell only a very slight difference in taste. A Flintstone is a Flintstone, right? :)
I drink.
I drink and then I gorge on cheese. Actually, no. That's wrong. I drink WHILE gorging on cheese. Cheap wine and cheap cheese gives me the giggles and then I watch a movie while in my retarded stupor, usually Napoleon Dynamite. Then I pass out and "poof" it's a new day. And then I'm really constipated so then I gorge on chocolate...chocolate Ex-Lax.
I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin. 
I don't drink ...sm
but if I did it would be in moderation or very little. Unfortunately, millions of folks can't seem to do anything in moderation, which creates problems for everyone.
THC oil has to be 80% pure and I doubt too many folks are going to be able to produce it in their back yard. Just as few people brew their own beer, wine, hard liquors. Just as most smokers don't grow and roll their own cigarettes.
I expect the government may eventually legalize marijuana to some degree - if for nothing more than the tremendous tax revenue it will bring in. We will still have crime associated with it, just as we have crime associated with tobacco and alcohol - bootlegging, hijacking of cargo, etc.
Poppy and coca leaves are also natural. Should we grow our own heroin and cocaine? When the medicinal properties of these drugs were "discovered" they were hailed as medical breakthroughs. Used to treat pain, depression, hysteria, anda host of ills, cocaine was thought to be a cure for heroin addiction.
But you won't be growing the purer forms of THC oil in your backyard - just like poppy and coca is regulated and only grown in certain places by certain government approved licenses, so will marijuana. I believe India is the world's largest producer of poppy for medical cocaine. And there will always be those black market sources for people who want to use the drugs for other than curative or medical reasons - just as there is now.
Would people support government controlled THC for cancer treatment? or are they more interested in being "free" to get high and have it socially and legally sanctioned? I would support the former but not the latter.
yes of course I do, I eat, drink, take breaks
40k a year now.  Work your shifts guys.
No, but a tall drink...
might be in order. On second thot - make it five! Ur gonna need 'em.
One drink a day it too much. I hope he has some
decent life insurance.
There isn't a disease that causes someone to take that first drink, first
cigarette, or first hit of whatever. I also think a lot of times "disease" is an excuse and not a real issue. I come from a very long line of alcoholics on both sides of my family. As as result I feel I have a predisposition to becoming an alcoholic, so I choose not to drink. Alcoholism may be a disease in some people, but it is curable. HIV/AIDS is a disease too that is 100% preventable. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions and want to blame everyone else.
I agree. One drink a day is too much because it just
opens the door for addiction. I'm a teetotaler living with an alcoholic, so I know that one drink is too many.
FUN POLL: How many of you have a drink
I admit to having a glass of wine mixed with white soda from time to time. LOL. I'm such a boozer. Can't handle anything stronger! With all these ESL's and mushies tonight, I deserve it.
FUN POLL: How many of you have a drink
While my computer is booting up, I get my drink..can't function without it! (sad huh?). Sometimes, I might have one before lunch, and one with lunch. Usually I stop and have nothing until after supper. Then, of course, I need one before bed. The funniest part, and you may think it's gross....I love an Oreo or two with my drink at night! 
I think you'd drive me to drink, too,
if I lived with you!! Amen! Nasty, much?
used to drink 16-18 cups a day,
but bladder "accidents" and health concerns caused me to cut down; also developed some scary heart-racing episodes. Now i average 2 cups a day and drink maybe 2 of hot tea in afternoon, and more water.
All you need is a little umbrella drink!

I'll drink to that!
Like you, I started MT at a time that mentoring was the norm. I don't think I would have made it without the support and faith of my teachers. It's unbelievable to me how downright mean and impatient some people in this profession become, but I've witnessed the same thing in the nursing profession (there we call it "eating one's young").
Newbies in any field need nurturing and encouragement, and I can't figure out why it's so darn challenging for some of us to give it to them!
I have often said....I drink my fair share, but....
CLEAN YOUR OWN PEEEEEEEEE !!!! UN-F'ING REAL!!!
I really wish I could make myself drink more water..
but as a hazard of being a southern girl, I drink tea all day like it's going out of style 
A drink versus Prozac
Don't worry about it. A drink (in moderation) every now and then, in my opinion, is better than being hooked on Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. I know several women who do not drink, never drank but can not do without their "happy pill". I have a glass of wine or beer after a hard day while cooking dinner which probably happens less than once a month.
I drink only unsweetened tea or water...

some families drink to deal with each other
There is a lot going on underneath the scenes, a lot of hurt feelings not dealt with, a lot of hostility, past differences not completely resolved. All together in one house, the roof would fly off with all the pent up tension. Alcohol smooths it out.
smile and nod, or offer him a drink and tell him

I wouldn't dare...1 drink and

I knew an MT who did more than drink while typing!!! nm
