For the nickel allergy, you can paint

Posted By: Misha on 2006-03-13

the metal with clear nail polish. I do that where my watch sits against my skin - one of my MDs suggested it.

I have very mild eczema, and my skin likes the new Ivory soap that has aloe vera in it.

I'd just paint over it with black/grey paint - sm
whatever the color of the pavement is.
If I had a nickel for every doc I have ever

I presume you reuse your nickel otherwise - sm
many here would need 200+ rolls of nickels a day to do this. I use a timer to increase my speed. I set it for 30 minutes and see how many minutes of work on a particular doctor I can get done in that time. I generally average 8-9 minutes in 30 minutes which for me is a good amount. I am trying to do it all the time now so I work smarter and faster.
I hope "sm" got my apology about the nickel.

Nickel and dime accounts/misc charges
I do not nickel and dime my accounts to death.  What I charge per line covers my time of delivery, printing, cutting apart chart notes, reruns when needed, etc.  If you hit them with this charge and that charge they very well could look elsewhere that just gives one price for everything, all included.  Simplicity.   Sure just like now I scanned a tape to do a STAT H&P for surgery but the doctor did it on the hospital line and did not write it down as he usually does, yes it took me 10 to 15 minutes but will I charge them NO.  WHY because yesterday I made $130 in less than two hours on their account and I received my checks one day after invoicing.  I invoice on the 25th, receive check today and it was due until the 1st.  And also they treat me like one of the team and appreciate what I do.  But you do what you need to do but if you keep it simple without all the extra charges, they will like you better.  You have to figure your nonbillable time into your rate.    Good luck.   Patti
What about paint thinner? (nm)

Sure could. It was a nickel and a penny. Then they made King Size Cokes that you SM
had to pay a dime for. Cigarettes were 28 cents. You put in a quarter and a nickel (the machine) and you got a pack of cigarettes with two pennies in the cellophane. Ugh. I'm really telling on myself here.
All you have to do is paint on a sealant and no problem
d
Its their house and should be able to paint it whatever color they want
Come on. Just because it doesnt suit you,doesnt mean they shouldnt do something. They paid money and worked their tail off to pay for it, they should be free to do what they want with it.

I thought that was what America was all about.

Geez
Went there for paint. Brand new store. SM
I asked for specific color and the kid behind the counter starting mixing it. It seemed to be taking a long time, Home Depot takes second, all because he had an old fashioned paint machine where you had to manually put in the colors, not computerized like Home Depot. So why didn't I go to Home Depot? Good question.
If allergic to nickel, then avoid green beans, broccoli, peas, etc.
I have that same allergy, had problems with the old metal zippers, snaps, etc.

Well, I myself buy on Craigs and guess what, had free paint
that I did not want and advertised and gave it away so guess all is not a scam. Craigs List really in your bigger towns I guess but I do not have the time or patience to wait to see if I bid correctly. I just bought a persian rug for 95$ that had a 750$ tag sewn in in the back, good deal, huh?
Bought best concrete paint Sherwin Williams had
I have painted my front porch umteen times, but I have never put a primer under it. That may be the key to it not peeling and flaking off. I thought I'd give it one more try this year (when it cools down a bit) but talk to them about a primer first. No one has told me to prime it and I'm not sure if there is even a primer for concrete as I don't know that much about painting, but I'm hoping that may be the key. I even bought the No-Slip concrete paint once... I hated it! It looked terrible when it started flaking off!  Good Luck on your project and hope someone knows more than I do to help you.
Paint over the letters with clear fingernail polish.

Spray paint is oil based. Regular cleaners
will not remove it. My recommendation is for you to go to the paint department of your local Home Depot or Lowe's and ask them. They should be very knowledgable about it. I used to work in the paint department at Home Depot, but it was a loooooong time ago, so I cannot remember what product you should use.
not an allergy.. only have the
when my skin gets really dry. the warmer months are fine.
allergy??
My daughter would complain of nausea and vomit only one time but never really appeared "sick", no fever, etc. This started when she was a toddler and at that time, I connected it to when she would eat eggs. Over the years, she would eat eggs but just small servings as they are not really a favorite food, and they didn't seem to bother her. She is 16 now and recently, she spent the night at a friend's house and the dad fixed a big breakfast and gave her a "plateful" of eggs. To be polite, she went ahead and ate them not thinking too much about it because, as I said, she has been eating small portions over the years just fine. That day when she ate the "plateful" she had a stomachache all day long, never threw up, but I still think it was related to the eggs. Other than a stomachache, that is all she would show.

Is there something that your son has started eating in larger quantities than before? Sometimes we can handle a small portion of something but the large portion plays havoc with the allergies.
allergy testing
We tried the Alcat test.  Understand traditional medicine does not agree with this blood test, but it helped in our family.  My daughter had had heart palpitations since she was a child, and no doctor ever seemed concerned, but they bothered and scared her.  The test showed a moderate intolerance to red dye 40, and since she cut it from her diet, no more palpitations!  It is pricey in my book, but it has helped us.  www.alcat.com
Betcha THAT is an allergy!

Allergy Resources
I have an allergy account of my own and I know what you mean. Those tests/allergens can be tricky. I purchased the Stedman's Dermatology & Immunology Word book and I use it often. It has everything you need!

Asthma Allergy specialty
I am working as an IC for a asthma/allergy specialist who has recently went into private practice.  In the 10 months that I have worked for her she has changed the format of her PE, new patient, D/C, well all of her forms, several times.  I have tried to explain to her that it is her practice and I will transcribe whatever information she feels is necessary to have in the permanent record (she does not do dictation, I transcribe from written report).  Can anyone give me an example of final transcription for an asthma/allergy specialist, and possibly an example of the forms used?  I would like to present these to her to compare so she can feel comfortable with what she is transcribing for the final record.  I would really appreciate any help I could get with this.  This is my first job and I want to keep this doctor satisified......Thanks!
Opinions please for Allergy work

I have the opportunity to pick up some additional work for an Allergy/Asthma Clinic.  I have not done allergy/asthma work before.  How tough is it and how easy is it to transition into?  I have over 10 years experience but mostly in Orthopaedics, Radiology, Family Practice, OB/GYN, and ERs.  Also, for this account I would need to pick up and drop off the work.  Do you think I could ask for $3.00 a page?  All opinions appreciated.  THANKS GUYS!

Allergy tests reference?
Does anyone know of any good online reference I can use to look up allergy tests? Specifically looking for something where I can look up different types of weed, grass, tree pollens that may be tested with prick test or intradermal tests. 
Anyone know a good web site for allergy testing? Thank you! nm

also, good chance its allergy related due to
season and naproxen not working. For headaches like that, I try over-the-counter Sudafed and/or Benadryl at night. I prefer Zyrtec-D, but if I'm out, I use OTC products as above. Often, one has to identify the source of the headache in order to get the right med. Headaches are very complex entities! Hope you feel better. Personally, I think headaches are the worse sort of pain, even compared to fibromyalgia, as I have that, too! Feel better.
I have one PA with a chronic allergy or sinus problem....
which is, of course, not his fault, but makes him very hard to understand.  He has a very deep voice and likes to raise and lower the volume at random.  And at least every other sentence, he says "Excuse me," like he made a mistake, but then just repeats what he said and keeps on going.  He also likes to say, "Delete." a lot.  I think he is even the one who dropped a "F" bomb on me one day. 
Allergy/Asthma Clinic Work
I am hoping someone can give me some insight on Allergy/Asthma Clinic work.  How difficult is it and is it something that can be transitioned into easily?  I have the opportunity to pick up some work but I've not done any Allergy/Asthma Clinic work.  My experience has mostly been in Radiology/Ortho work but I have also done OB/GYN, Family Practice and ER reports.  Thanks!
Mine are so bad I get Kenalog injections throughout allergy season. Really does the trick for your e
