Forgot to as directed steroid injections!

In Reply to: Have you been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia? - Dianna
For headache sufferers, there is nothing like supraorbital blocks and Botox for frontal headaches and occipital nerve blocks and trigger point injections for posterior head pain. Unfortunately, they wear off though. It helps diagnostically so the doctors know what they are dealing with. One doctor offered me a rhizotomy. I finally went through with a cervical fusion because my neurosurgeon said it would clear up all the pain. I wish it had......

My mother had to finally get 3 epidural steroid injections.

do't worry, go for the steroid shot and relief!
I have tendonitis along with RHA. When my elbow flares up (as it's doing now), I pop the ibuprofen, use a gel wrap for "tennis elbow" you can pick up in the drug stores and try to limit my heavy movement with that one.
That said, I have to have it along with my hip injected 3-4 times a year. Not sure if my rheumy is just the best or not but I've never had any pain with the steroid injections. I call him slick and the relief is almost instant, no more tears from the pain. HTH
A friend of mine did the injections (sm)
and her legs looked great for a little while. Eventually, blood got trapped below the injection sites and they look worse now than they did before.
does anyone know a good website for subconjunctival injections?
Thanks...
MAs take vitals, draw blood, give injections, etc.
PAs have the mostly the same authority as a doctor EXCEPT writing narcotic prescriptions they need their suopervising doctors signature. I used to work in a doctor's office as an MA for a PA. Hope this helps!!!
Mine are so bad I get Kenalog injections throughout allergy season. Really does the trick for your e

Not directed at anyone in particular
but after reading the thread below by the obviously young editor asking for help, a thought just occurred to me: MAYBE the original poster in this thread was one of those young mother's working with kids at home and MAYBE her editor was working at home with her kids. MAYBE both were having a particularly bad day. MAYBE they lashed out at each other.
Still better than resorting to child abuse. Just another argument for not trying to be all things to all people all at the same time.
The insult was probably not directed at you then.
You are a "mobile home dweller", not "trailer trash" or a skank. There's a big difference, one you can tell by looking at the home and the person. We have some very nice mobile homes on our block nestled amongst the stickbuilt houses. There used to be four "trailer trash" houses. One of them remodeled and it looks quite nice. Another one moved out, someone bought the lot, sold the trailer, tore up the old foundation, and now they have a really nice big yard. We're still trying to get rid of the other two. If they'd only clean up the junk littering their yards, mow and water once a week, and paint the exteriors, they'd have nice properties. I don't understand why able-bodied people would not maintain their properties to keep or increase the value. Instead, their dumps make the entire neighborhood look trashy. Ironically, there are city laws here that they must mow and they must clean up their junk and abandoned cars. These are the people screaming drunk in the streets at 2:00 a.m. Other people have turned them in to the police repeatedly. Thus, true trailer trash. If I had only known 10 years ago what I know now, we never would have bought this place.
I can somewhat relate to your taking offense. It's the same thing with the dumb blonde jokes. However, I just tell myself that I'm not dumb or dyed, so the remark isn't directed at me. You aren't a trailer trash skank, so the remarks weren't directed at you. You are a very nice, intelligent mobile home dweller.
Gosh, who was that directed at?
I had a child on Cobra before as a bridge between college and her getting a job- oh, 5 or 6 months, very expensive I remember. Who lost their husband? I gained bunch of weight when the thyroid went. Weight definitely can be health related.
Why do you assume every post is directed . . .
to you or in reference to your posts???? Sorry, but the world and this board don't revolve around you. Get real.
And why did you feel THIS post was directed at
Give us a break and get your own sandbox. What a riot! 
Whoever directed you should learn to MYOB.
Why did they direct you there? Are you worried that anyone who looks at her page will think everyone who works there is a lesbian? Why would it make you feel soiled? As a proud sister of a former lesbian (had a sex change), I think you are being overly worried about what someone else is doing.
I know your posted wasn't directed at me.
I wasn't being argumentative with you. However, the difference between $20 as an IC and $11.50 as an employee could be the insurance, retirement and employment taxes your company pays for you. I don't know if the people complaining were ICs or employee status. Honestly, I'd take either one right now! LOL So... is your company hiring?
Golly. All that nastiness directed at someone who agreed with you?
You're the one who didn't want anything but nicey nicey. Sometimes the truth isn't nicey nice. Sometimes the truth doesn't have bunnies and flowers. It's all part of the rich tapestry of life. If I'm wasting your time, just don't read my posts. Call me a child if you want. You're the one having the tantrum.
Yeah, he and Karl Rove directed the hurricaine to New O. lol nm

Sorry, last post directed to Trixi, not original poster. nm

last post suppose to be ad, not as directed. Word expander was on.
Sorry.
Use less salt than directed in the recipes. Try the powdered milk hot chocolate recipes! Yummy :-)

you also need to know the animals that you broker. I grew up on a farm so I broker mostly farm animals but have done dogs, cats, birds, etc. You'd be surprised at the "pets" I've been asked to locate, some I had to get on the net and do a crash study.

For anxiety you can minimize the stress if possible or learn to better manage it. I have insurance so I am on medication and just started counseling this time around as I am dealing with a lot right now. Do research if you think that may be it and try to help yourself by teaching yourself stress relievers or taking time for yourself to help until you can get insurance or doctor opinion.
Forgot to say something - so you think somebody somewhere Sm

I forgot the most important thing. Learn to recognize what is important, what can wait, and what cannot. Dirty dishes, can wait. Laundry, can way. Cleaning house, can wait - unfortunately it will be there when you get done doing life. Doing life - those are the things that you only get one shot at. Got to the football game even if you have to stay up until 2 a.m. to get your work done. Go to the partk on a pretty day even if your house is a disaster area. Play in the rain with your children even if you want them to stay clean. They will not remember how many times you washed their clothes or mopped the floor; they will remember looking and seeing your face as they slide down the slide; they will be able to tell other people how many times you have played outside with them. When we do life, we pass a legacy on that nothing can break. When we do house work, if just has to be done again.
I hope this encourages you. Remember, you will not always get it right, but as long as you learn to say "I'm sorry" and do not quit, you will always be a hero to your children. I know. My 2 kids are now in college and I can see the results.
If you need someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, I am willing.

this is used if you have ShortHand as your expander....use "yo" as your keyword and then type the above entry in the "text to type box"
Forgot a few - sm
Alt+S = Stops audio
Alt+W = Plays current word
Alt+shift+W = plays next word
Alt+F2 = Decreases audio playback speed 5% each time key combo is pressed.
Ctrl+F2 - Increased audio playback 5%.
You can probably get these appendices at Dictaphone Corp website. If not, let me know if you need more help. I have the Correction Editor Manual and a list of all of the Quick Keys.
Forgot that one! (sm)
I never watched it when it was on but I got hooked on the reruns. How many years was that show on? It seems like I hadn't seen enough when they were showing reruns of the reruns I had already seen. That is a good one.
Oh, more I forgot!
I loved Sisters. And remember Once and Again. I loved that!
Forgot one!!!...
Sooner or Later with Rex Smith and Denise Miller from 1978 or 1979. Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this movie. All the big hair (guys and girls!), short, short jogging shorts with knee high socks (on the guys!) and the jeans so tight it is a wonder they could sit down! Love that movie!
I forgot about that sm
I vaguely remember that movie. I loved Rex Smith. Had my hair cut like his. Soooo cute.
Oh no -- forgot one

oh well, you don't live in that county any longer.....I've known plenty of folks who do this coast-to-coast....

The version I have does have dosages. I would not buy the book, just the CD. I hardly ever crack open a book anymore as it takes literally seconds to hunt for a drug or word in the CD versions. Save your money there :)I did a search on the internet and you guys are referring to the same program I am so I'm not sure why yours isn't working for you like mine is working for me, unless it's the version that is causing the problems?
Forgot . . .
The new girls in our office got their jobs because the school called and asked if they could extern for six weeks - they did not get paid. Then we hired them.
I forgot to add I need one
that I can download instead of wait in the mail for it to arrive.
Oh, I forgot to say something else...
I did contact CityAudio by email and they sent a reply saying that they would be happy to call me in regards to their product. Sounds good. Thanks again MT!

When I play the speakers out loud, without the headset plugged in there are no problems at all. The speakers play just perfect. Thanks.

this is where you can work using ICs to your advantage. Just as they are not obligated to do the work, you are not obligated to use them. Usually, when they see less work coming, they either get it together or move on. And the latter is for the best if they miss TATs repeatedly, which puts your client relationships in jeopardy. Again...JMO and experience.
BTW, my approaches may sound inflexible, but I must be doing something right; I have a waiting list of experienced MTs, including former colleagues, who want to work with me. And all my clients but two are by client referral.

I forgot to say that we never run low on work.
It is not bad for everyone. I get a little tired of hearing the same tirade over and over. If you are so unhappy with where your field is headed, just move on.

this eyeglass place is on the web, not here in town somewhere.

forgot fed
Actually, I figured 43% went to everybody (FICA, state, and feds) based on my 9.83 cpl. Don't know about state, but with 25% coming out you would need (9)/(0.75) or 12 cpl; at 35% coming out you would need (9)/(0.65) or 13.8 cpl.
11 cpl would allow for 19% coming out.
Hopes this make sense.
Almost forgot
If the hospital uses templates built into Editscript, can you say big money real fast! Also there is a feature called samples where all reports at the hospital for a certain time period are stored. So if you have an operative report that is transcription instead of VR, you can search by the doctor's name and cut and paste say a previous lap chole or something and save your fingers!
forgot to say
As far as hourly pay, sorry, but I don't know anything but my own. However, a recent surgery in AHIMA Journal showed an average starting yearly wage of about 38,000 and up to almost 60,000 or more with experience. Keep in mind that is a national average and a lot depends on where you live.
also forgot
we also have a lot of benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, FSA, HSA with company match contributions of to $1000 per individual, long term care insurance, 401K matching, no fees, PTO plus additional sick, nice differentials and holiday bonuses. That's all I can think of, but it's a nice bunch of benefits.
almost forgot
my favorite part, i work the morning shift only on Fridays and the evening shift only on Sunday night.
