Anyone ever heard of the intramuscular mega C Penicillin. this is a pt with HIV
medication look-up
This is my first time posting to this site. For anyone interested, here are three very helpful websites: Drugstore.com, Drugs.com, Medword.com. They are very helpful in looking up medication and medical terms.
Medication question
Hello,
I am trying to figure out a medication and it sounds like chromagin, cromagin, or something like that. Has anyone heard of that? It is to be taken three times daily...Thanks!!!
Medication website
Anyone know of a good site to go to for a list of medications? Thanks!
Do you take any kind of medication sm
before you start work? Don't mean to be nosy but in my case, I work 6a-2p. I take my blood pressure medication at 5:30a. By 7:00-8:00, I am ready for bed and literally fall asleep at my desk. I take my break from 8:45 to 9:30, come back and I am fine. Doc said my medicine "peaks" at that time then the level falls off. Asked him to change it and he refuses to, said if it works then why try another. I have tried taking it at different times a day, but it really works the best at 5:30. So, I am stuck. Have you tried turning on the radio or tv or even opening a window? Sometimes that helps for me.
Looking for a medication website
I used to have a link to a website that if you only knew three letters to the medication it would give you options. My computer had since crashed and I lost that website and cannot find it. A lot of times I can hear only a few syllables of the med they are saying. Does anyone know a website that you can put a partial part in and get choices?
Has anyone heard of "chlorophen" as a medication?
Rebound headaches are from medication
in pain, you may use the meds too often. The theory behind the rebound headache is that the overuse of drugs makes the headache rebound after your body uses all of the medication. An OTC drug or a Rx that is taken too often causes an episode where your brain gets relief from the pain, likes the effect, and then signals "pain" in its search for more of the drug, and you increase dosages to get more relief. Your medication becomes less and less effective and you create a cycle of misery. (This is adapted from the website, "Migraines for Dummies" (even though I don't have migraines.) It's the best explanation I have found on the web for rebound HA. I just want relief.
You truly have some anger problems. Maybe you should look into medication for yourself.

pain medication s/p arthoplasty
Pain medication is usually required for approximately 2-4 weeks s/p total arthroplasty. However, each patient's need is individualized. Oxycontin is the drug of choice for chronic pain management.
Do you take blood pressure medication? sm
They can make you extremely tired, too. I take Toprol XL and have for 13 years. It peaks about 3 hours after I take it I have trouble staying awake at the PC from 6 am to about 10:30 am. I literally fall asleep with fingers right on the keyboard. It was so bad that I finally changed to the afternoon shift. I asked my doc about it and he said try taking it at night. Well, that brought on the headaches I was trying to avoid. He said to take 1/2 in the a.m. and 1/2 in the p.m. No dice, still had headaches. He won't change my pills, says if it isn't broke, don't try to fix it. He wants to keep my pressure on the low side. My only solution was changing shifts and now I don't fall asleep at the keyboard anymore. I can get 10 hours of sleep at night but still fall asleep about 3 hours after taking that medication. I'm fine if I am up and about and doing things but sitting at the keyboard is another story.
I beg to differ - not all kids need medication....sm
Many with ADD/ADHD can learn just fine without medication as long as you break the tasks into smaller segments and implement visual aides.
No drug is completely safe. They all have chemicals in them. Ritalin, which you mentioned, caused my nephew to have growth retardation while he was on it and it was only after he came off that stuff that he started growing.
It's not the media afraid of drugging kids. There are many of us out there that don't believe that drugging a child is the correct answer. Sure there are kids that really need it if they can't stay focused at all, but asking a child to stay focused for an hour or more without a break when they're say 7 years old is extreme, especially if they're able to learn the same information if it's broken down into 3 20 minute sessions in the day.
Kids are now being pushed to learn more at a rate that for some of them taxes where their maturity levels are, and this can aggravate things like ADD/ADHD, especially when they don't have the recess breaks at school to give them a diversion from the classroom for a while. I'm glad that in my state some of the school systems have started mandating recess again - and those schools test scores have improved.
Can some one help with medication list format?
if a doctor transcribes a medication as Actose 45 mg q.d do you transcribe it as Actose 45 mg daily?
Medication can help you get past the things you can't accept
in this life. You need to seek help.
People have to let go of what bothers them at some point. Carrying around that baggage with you isn't healthy for you.
I didn't bring up anything about my future -- someone else always does because they are so fixated and obsessed. Now that's the biggest funny of all. HAHAHA
Rewrite song: I forgot my medication..
I can't find my medication
Cause I try.. and I try..but I'm high!
I can't get no..I can't get no..
When I'm tripping around stage
And I'm shakin' it at the Superbowl
And they're chanting I am way too old
That I've lost all my sensation
I look like morgue refrigeration
I can't sing, no, oh no no no
Flat, flat, flat...that's singin' flat
I can't find the right direction (off stage)
I can't get no resurrection....
I wish I could be on disability for something mental that is controlled with medication.
I'm just sorry I'm paying for people to stay home and not work while my husband and I have to work. It's bad enough that this man doesn't help you around the house, but he's sucking off the government (us taxpayers) while we support him. He can't do ANYTHING? Whatever...
Man, what a country.
I thought Neurontin was a pain medication
I'm a little confused by your post.
uh, I don't type a medication that is spelled wrong

No response on drug forum.
TIA
Your planet? did you know there were people who needed medication who didnt have it?

They have a counter here that is free I believe as well - sm
go to the home page and find it that way. Also skip the business license unless your "employer" is requiring it, or if your county requires it, more hassle than it is worth. As of now I don't require one where I am, though my DH did for cutting grass at a local church for a few years(though I made 6 x more than he did). We have personal property tax here so I'd have to pay taxes on my computer, etc, that I use for work, so far MT is under the radar in my county though other counties in my state require it, go figure.
line counter
I got it to work if I use slow method, so if you figure it out great, but whew, what a help evenif slower then the regular method
line counter
I found that the MTstars counter works great EXCEPT for gross lines - I was shorted 622.00 last year and just found out, when was notified I had been shorting myself. (what a company to tell me of my error - I was shocked.) All other "parts" work well but hope eventually it gets fixed on MTstars so I can continue using it.
Line counter
Just wanted to clarify - The MTStars line counter works great for me. I did have an issue but my original post probably should have been split into two - a company I work for actually told me of an error - that does not happen too often.
I have referred others off site to this counter and no one has had problems. My concerns about straight line counts has a fix (comparable rate) that I use with the counter. Do not want anyone thinking this program has anything deficient with it. I use it to bill my IC clients as well as my private ones. I would be lost without it.
Over the counter drugs
Are over the counter drugs capitalized? Example: "Unisom"
Thanks
Personally, I do not use the counter so it --sm
would not bother me. I use the transcriber for only one client that dictates 15-20 miinutes a day and is very easy. Maybe make it very clear in your ad that other than the counter, it is in good working condition?
If government is involved, it will be as screwed up as the Medicare medication program.
Heaven save us from all these wanna be kings that sit on top of the hill.
Ridiculous. It's not a medication or a procedure she's questioning. This is a moral issue.
She is way out of line to question transcribing that. You're comparing apples to oranges.
Agree that over the counter meds for
tapeworm are ineffective. It's not worth the gamble. While you try the OTC out, the tapeworm is depleting nutrition from your pet and making it weaker. It's worth a trip to the vet!! Good luck!
line counter user too
You know, I NEVER thought about the feature in Word (using Word's total char w/spaces/65 = total line count. It never occurred to me that that doesn't count hard page breaks, tabs, or returns! I feel really stupid. I've always just trusted that that is the way things are done (thinking that TX companies are actually treating the MTs fairly concerning pay). And the thing that makes me so mad is that, that is the way most transcription companies have you figure your lines! Because apparently that's the way their customers ask/tell them to bill them! Something is definitely wrong with this picture. We, as MTs need to stand up and just not take it anymore! I'm TIRED of just taking what they make us take. Granted, I'm sure there are actually some decent, honest Tx companies who actually pay for all characters/keys used, but I'd have to say, by and large, that is just not the case.
Having said all that, I have one client that I also bill using Instant Text Pro V line count software and I love it. But I have worked for other companies in the past who used strictly the Word method of counting characters w/spaces and dividing that by 65. How unfair is that? All this time! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
MT STARS LINE COUNTER
You need to repost this over and over - it is great, glad I did not miss it.
AND the countdown to Christmas counter way up at the top--sm
right down to the seconds. this is great! someone there has an ingenious mind to think of this type of thing! Merry Christmas!
line counter programs
I have always suggested MTStars flash counter and have never had a problem for my "newbies" who come on board for me - however I have a new trans whose systems does not support this invoice generator - line counter program - Can someone suggest another free invoice / line counter program and direct me to link so that I can inform her. I prefer not to have any Newbie spend money when they do not have to. Any information you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Line Counter Software...
Hey there ....
Does anyone have a lead on any line counting software for under $30-$40? I have TexTally, but it does not calculate the same way my Word 2002 calculates.
Thanx for your time.
admin....ha! aka bean counter

He added over 200 to the counter right from the start.
It's a trick.
Platform line counter
I check my line counts with the software counter every day at the end of my shift and write it down. At the end of this pay period, if I did a full pay period count on the same counter, my count doesn't add up to the same as when I add each day individually. At first I thought it might have to do with blanks, but it is off by almost a whole shift's worth lines and I don't leave very many blanks. I double checked the dates/times I entered to make sure I didn't miss a day. I did not.
Has anyone else experience this? I'm wondering if my company gets the count they pay me for this way. I normally don't add them all up for the whole pay period, so I never noticed it before.
macro for line counter
Paste this into your macro editor, if your line is 55 characters (or whatever) instead of 65, just substitute 55 for 65.
Sub PostLineCount()
Dim N As Long
N = ActiveDocument.Characters.count
N = Round(N / 65)
AutoCorrect.Entries.Add Name:=qdlc", Value:=N
MsgBox N & " lines in this document"
End Sub
If you need to type in your line count into an invoice, it is now in your autocorrect, just type qdlc in your invoice. The autotext entry qdlc will change to the new line count each time you run this macro in a new document.
I hope somebody finds this useful and it will save her a little bit of money. If any of you have some specific need this macro does not address, I will check back here later and post the new macro solution for you.
Are you sure the counter wasn't slow? sm
Sometimes it takes quite awhile for the counter to catch up, especially if you are on a large account with several MTs working on it. I always check back the first thing the next shift and it has usually caught up by then with the correct count. BTW, would you email me privately with the name of the company for whom you work - I'm looking for an EXText job. Thanks and good luck!
WORD/LINE COUNTER QUESTION
Is there a program that you can down load to keep a running total of your lines all day. I keep forgetting to go into word count after every report. The company keeps track but I want to be sure it is right. I have M. Word 2000 so I cannot leave it running like the newer versions.
I do that and I also use paper towels to clean counter.

Try melatonin over-the-counter in your vitamin section.
Doctors I worked with got me hooked on it. They said they used it themselves. Doctors know the side effects of chemical drugs and steer away from them when it comes to taking drugs. Anyway do a search on Google about melatonin. It may work for you and it really has no side effects for me, like the grogginess prescription drugs give you the morning after you take a pill to sleep.
Question on counter program - for administrator
I use your line counter program faithfully for line count clients, but recently had to use it for page count client of mine on a second computer - I downloaded it the same way etc.. When I check off page count and enter my rate all files come up as 1 page. This does ot happen on my other computer - is there anything you can give me a headsup on so I can use it on both computers - both are exactly the same setup and operating programs.
Best line counter/invoicer - suggestions?nm
nm
Please take note that the Word line counter--sm
is not accurate because it counts ALL lines, even those that are blank. If your reports are double spaced, it will count the lines in between as lines. be careful. recommend a good line counting program instead.
Line counter that does not depend on MS Word??
I had a computer crash. After I reformatted my computer, I no longer have Word, only WordPerfect. All I counted lines with before was Word's statistics, lines with spaces. WordPerfect does not give lines with spaces. I have looked at several line count utilities and ALL so far expect you to have Word installed on your computer. They use Word and just report the line count to you (so what would be the point of purchasing a program to do that....just use Word!!!). I need an inexpensive reliable line count utility that does NOT require Word. Thanks.
