had thyroid trouble, used her hands constantly in her job and her hobby and never had problems. Never heard this possible correlation before.

Maybe have your thyroid checked? sm
A malfunctioning thyroid can cause those symptoms, I think. I used to work with a gal who was always freezing and slept alot and doc said her TSH was almost zip. He put her on Synthroid and she felt a lot better.
I would suggest that you have your thyroid checked--sm
It is the number one cause of fatigue and most often overlooked by physicians. Have a complete TSH blood test. T3, T4, free T4, and an iodine uptake test.
Did you check and see what's checked or not checked in Preferences. Maybe something got messed up
s
You can replace the 2007 Normal.dotm with your old normal.dot file. sm
Open the old normal.dot in Word and save as the new file format.
The easy way is to load the oldest version first and then upgrade.
I'm completely normal and met my normal husband online. sm
I also met casual dates online (read: real social dates, NOT sex hookups), and all were completely normal. I wasn't meeting who I wanted to meet in the other traditional ways (church, through friends, at work, etc) so I looked online and found someone whose sense of humor shined through in his writing, and that is who I eventually married after 2+ years of traditional dating. We are both college grads, gainfully employed, financially stable, non-perverted, normal people. BUT, I did have to sort through a LOT of personal ads, as there are certainly plenty of oddballs out there, as well, just like in the outside world. :-)
thyroid
I have had hypothyroidism for the past 10 years and trust me, take the increased dosage. I have had doctors that actually do not believe in hypothyroidism and cut the dose and then I feel horrible for the next eight weeks until it gets back to normal. The little bit extra you would get in the increase in medication is not going to hurt you any. Actually, I found Armour thyroid to be better for me than the Synthroid. Synthroid never seemed to do anything for me. It only has the T4 hormones in it and the Armour has both the T3 and T4. Some doctors say you don't need the T3, but if your body produces it, you need it. I just feel better taking it. Presently, and over the past 10 years, my dose has increased to 120 mcg. It is an autoimmune disease and your levels will never stay the same. They will always fluctuate until your thyroid stops producing the hormones altogether, which is probably where I am at now. If I don't take my meds for say two months (which I have been known to do at times), I end up getting sick with flu-like symptoms...fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and pains, etc. It takes a long time to get back to normal, so take the small increase. You may have to increase it again later on. There is also a discrepancy in what some doctors actually think is *normal*, too, so be aware that perhaps you DO need more than what you think you do. Do lots of research....I did. My body tells me what I need...not the doctors...if you know what I mean...even if I have to argue with them to get what I need. I will change doctors until I find one who knows what he is doing as far as the thyroid...or go to an endocrinologist. They know more about it. good luck. e-mail me if you have questions.
thyroid
I had this when I was about 45. Couldn't get out of bed. I RARELY miss work (working at home, I work the rare times I'm ill), but I was starting to miss some work -- I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was my thyroid. Started meds, and in 2 weeks felt better.
Maybe a thyroid problem?
Have you ever had your thyroid checked? This can be a symptom.
Thyroid question, please...sm
Hi-
Question about results on TSH (me personally, not a patient!) I've been on 1 mg of Synthroid, but just got my TSH results. They are RIGHT on the border of the lowest acceptable range.
My doc doesn't seem to think this warrants adjustment in the dosage, but I thought it should maybe be lowered a bit? Any advice? BTW, this is a fairly new doc to me, and I'm not entirely sure if I totally trust him yet, if you know what I mean.
TIA!
Was she tested for thyroid? sm
Pretty common in cats and I believe that's one of the symptoms. Good luck.
Thyroid Problems in dogs. Yep. sm
I had one dog that was on Synthroid and a relative has one that is diabetic with cataracts, post cataract extractions. Certain breeds are prone to diabetes as a matter of fact. They get most of what we get, including diabetes, thyroid disorder, Crohn's disease, cancer, cardiomyopathy, seizure disorders.
I read that there is some idea it may be related to THYROID imbalance. Maybe
.
I read it a couple of yrs ago. Also, re thyroid testing------there are important
You can have NORMAL thyroid test results........fine and good. That only shows, however, that your thyroid is functioning.
It does not show you are utilizing the thyroid properly, though.
By that I mean are you absorbing the thyroid correctly.
That testing is more complex and time consuming.
My friend who has MS had quite a time getting her doc to do the testing correctly. As you know, MS makes you super fatigued anyway - and whe the thyroid aspect is off kilter, you are wiped out. Her testing was kind of like a blood glucose testing over several hours. She went in for testing every 30 minutes or so and sat at the lab for the whole time.
So, that may be something the article was alluding to as far as thyroid malfunctioning. You may be MAKING thyroid fine but not absorbing it.
Might also be your thyroid or Lyme disease. Insist on blood work! nm

normal? Normal means you have a.....S/M
There is no *normal* in this life..........
There ARE conformists and nonconformists but normal doesn't exist. Sorry. 
You must have a preconceived idea of what *sanity* is, eh? *lol*

It was $89 the last I checked, but...
you can pick them up at a much better price on eBay. :)
I checked this but....sm
I couldn't find the medication any cheaper than the one local pharmacy that I'll be getting it from. Buying in 1-3 month supply didn't cut the cost more than 75 cents for the entire 3 month period, so basically not worth the hassle of multi-month purchasing.
Have you checked into
your local telephone company? I have my DSL service through my phone company and I only pay $20.00 a month for mine.
You should have this checked out!! sm
My uncle and his wife were living in a mobile home that had some water damage from a hurricaine. This causes mold to be inside the walls. She was sick for months with respiratory symptoms and cough - they finally found out about the mold problem. By then she had some sort of infection in her lungs and ended up on oxygen and eventually died. Please get this checked out! She and her family had to make the decision to turn off her respirator (she was conscious the whole time, just could not breathe on her own.) It was terribly sad.
Just checked on this
Spouse is on disability and wanted to go back to work. They told him he can work 9 months out of 5 years if he makes under 640. a month. If he makes over 640. a month working, then benefits stop sooner. There is information on their website.
thanks -I checked with my
local govt office yesterday and they said I needed a vendor's license. Maybe I should just do a little more checking.
I just checked it out myself.
There is always someone out there trying to be funny. NOT. I reported that one too.
Thanks, I checked
and Comcast doesn't seem to have any numbers local to her.
I checked there
It completely disappeared. Unfortunately, I had the disk for the spellchecker when I worked for my first company and I don't have it any more. The tech said he'd put something different in my computer (I forgot what he called it). He has no idea what could have happened to it either. Thanks anyway.
Just checked again, and I'm sure
I guess it's kind of strange that there would be different variations. Maybe it depends on if it was pre-installed on a computer when you bought it or if it's a purchased version, or I'm sure there might be other things that could change the way different things look. I did go back and check again just now, and after the last comment, and I am sure that under the 'view' tab, if I click on 'outline', I have empty white squares.
Who knows? At any rate, at least the OP was able to use everyone's suggestions to find and the problem on their end.
I checked the archives and there isn't much on TRS.
TIA
Get your magnesium checked
I used to grind my teeth and nothing helped. When I had a physical, a wonderful physician mentioned that a couple of my symptoms (including bruxism) sounded like a magnesium deficiency. After taking a supplement a couple of weeks, the grinding stopped and has never returned.
Checked out your website and it looks like
But the Red Cross has actually done it, and that makes all the difference.
Have you checked with the school he goes to?
I know that some of the colleges my daughter has applied to offer health insurance, although she will be going full-time. I'm not sure if he would qualify, but its worth a look!
Have you checked the Job Board
If you go under Careers, then Job Bank, there is a company from Canada needing MTs. I don't remember the name, but the ad is not very old (within the past week).
If OP had checked the archives on any of these
companies she would have found all the info needed. I've posted in minute detail many times about SS when asked, so the information is there.
Have you checked out Flylady.net?
Thanks, I checked the strength
and dosing, and you are correct.
I checked it out recently (sm)
If I weren't already in my senior year of college and on a different path, I'd definitely check it out. The average income was something like 45K (salary.com).
I'd not worry about competition. MT is considered hard for newbies to break into, but we did that, didn't we? Where there's a will, there's a way.
I'd definitely consider it if I were you. Frankly, getting out of the house sounds really nice to me.
You haven't checked around much then.
Spheris' top accounts pay 10.2 cpl base plus incentive and differential for acute care work.
My current national employer pays me 10 cpl base plus incentive and differential for acute care work.
That's 2 that I can personally vouch for.
I just checked it out and it looked like (sm)
a "return to work" site to get people off disability and working.
They want you to sign up with a state worker to help you with vocational rehabilitation and get you back to work? That's what I read. And also they want you to work 30 hours a week with the telephone jobs. That would be almost full-time, persons on permanent disability are not allowed to work that much.
I checked out the link and...sm
It does not even contain anything in regards to the message I posted, therefore I do not believe it has been found to be just an urban legend or flat out lie. However, I did state in my original post that I did not know if it was true, just passing along information I received...this link does not disprove what I posted, sorry!
I just checked out both of these sites and
there is no rsp.com and the other said the site was under construction. I have heard that VA jobs are the jobs to have, though. Good luck!!
Can both be checked at the same time? That's what

He needs to be checked out by a doctor.
Allergies can devlop to things one has eaten for years. This is a warning sign that something is not right. Please do not ignore it!!
Checked for a gas leak?

I just checked this out, Hand-Eze about twice as sm
expensive. About $20.00 for a pair of Hand-Eze and $11.99 for a pair of Thergonomic Hand-Aids. The only difference I've found is the color and the name.
I checked with the manager
and she said it made my report bold! Yikes! This board has helped me so much though. There are so many knowledgeable MTs who are willing to help and give advice. I only wish I had had this when I first started many years ago!
Nice to know another ER MT who is also technically challenged! 
Never heard of this so checked it out....Wow! Thanks!...nm

Already checked half.com and they don't have any at all, e-bay only had
edition one cheap, edition 2 more expensive than any other place I've seen.
O'm'Gawd! Just checked it out and that would
defenitely take care of ALL my problems. Leg swelling, shoulder pain.
What a change tho, I'd have to practice (a long while) before working with one.
any info/input anyone can add - please do!
TIA
Do you have dss files checked under
xx
get checked at doctor to know for sure
I'd definitely recommend he go to the doctor and get checked. Everyone is different but it's best to have a check up. See if there is a clinic in your area where you can pay what you can afford. Not to frighten you but night sweats are a common symptom of hepatitis C. I think this should be checked. better safe than sorry. and I think it depends on how he sweats. is he drenching the sheets or just clammy, etc.
Where I work we are checked for
punctuation and poster below is correct, there is no comma between year-old and white female.
