I bought this chair from Office Max (link below) when I started working at home. I can work in it comfortably for several hours at a time.
I also do "glute crunches" - tense one side for about five seconds, release, tense the other side, release, repeat several times.

Me, too. I also have what I call 'phantom word syndrome' - sm
where I heard a word (or words), and was SURE I typed them, only to go back and proofread, and find a mysterious gap where I left it (them) out. Must be those 'word-gremlins' coming in and erasing them!
;D
Restless leg syndrome
I have read in the paper comments by a doctor that a bar of soap underneath the sheet near the legs will alleviate RLS. Many people have used this method and they say it works. Use anything but Dove soap, do not know why.
I had a doc once with Napoleon syndrome
(little man disease) who told me that a monkey could do my job!!! He referred to me as a "typist." AAAHHHH!!!
Toaster syndrome, LOL!
Sorry I can't help. I am in the same exact spot.
toaster syndrome
I thought it was just me.
Mosse's sign (or syndrome)..
I must have Tourette's thought syndrome too! (nm)

carpal tunnel syndrome...nm
Deer in headlight syndrome...
As a poster stated below, I, too, would probably freeze up big time with an oral test. Here is something that I observed while talking to other people about the mttest testing. I took this test for Career Step and then for a large national. Both times, I took the MAXIMUM time allowed, even 'sleeping on it' and looking it over in the morning. I did very well. Some people I talked to did not want to bother taking extra time to be assured of a good grade. They just rushed through it even though I encouraged them NOT to, and failed.
I was hired by the large national, and seem to do very well. High QA scores, and rarely hear from QA...have never had any major mistake. That is because I take extra time, since I am new, to look up EVERYTHING! No, I am not getting rich, but I am learning. And to top it off, I recently discovered that they accidentally? placed me at the advanced level of reports from the get-go. I thought ALL newbies did ops and procedures!
My theory is that the people that would not take the time to do well on the mttest also would not take time to proofread their reports or look things up!
I am sure I would have failed your oral test even if I DID know the answers! Oh well, everyone is different. Besides, you are obviously looking for the well-seasoned MT as is your right.
She will tire of this soon. It's just "newbie syndrome". nm

computer vision syndrome
My eyes have gone downhill big time since starting in this field (around 3 years ago). I have always had near perfect vision, and this is about the only thing I can attribute it to.
I have nearly all of the symptoms of this when researching (in all 3 categories; vision problems, eye problems, and general discomfort) - then again, I found that some doctors are skeptical about this. I have an eye appointment on Thursday and I am hoping that my doctor will take me seriously. I am at my wits end with this.
Was anyone told they have this, or does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thank you!
Anyone have Raynaud's syndrome from typing? SM
Just since January my hands have been ice cold. Sometimes just one hand. Sometimes just the fingertips. I figured these weren't typical carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, because I have no pain. So I did a little googling and came up Raynaud's. It is getting super annoying. No pain, just freezing hands. Anyone else? Thanks!
PTSIO Syndrome - Please Read
 Moms, are you suffering from PTSIO Syndrome?
This is "Post Traumatic School Is Out" Syndrome.
Symptoms include:
* Loss of balance due to tripping over piles of leftover school
supplies, end of year projects, extra gym shoes and paint shirts.
* Headaches due to sudden loss of any personal time during the day
as well as loss of late evening personal time. they are staying up
later than you now that it's summer!
* Feeling of chaos due to house a disaster 24/7 (used to at least be
clean a few hours while kids at school.
* Earaches due to loud begging from children for sleepovers with
friends, as well as pleas for setting up the pool, and/or going to
the pool.
* Dizziness due to increased shuttling to and from friends' houses,
swimming lessons, summer camps, baseball and other sports.
* Ringing in ears due to phone and doorbell constantly ringing with
friends wanting to play.
* Pain in the neck due to husband's annoying: What did you do today honey?
(DUH! The kids are home!)
*Sudden weight gain and bad hair days due to Mom's inability to go
to the gym, get a hair cut/color caused by kids' constant presence.
*Feelings of claustrophobia due to kids hanging on you, causing
inability to accomplish simple tasks like going to grocery store.
Length of PTSIO Syndrome:
Usually about 90 days (June-August)
Remedies include: Locking yourself in the bathroom for the next 90 days
and/or stocking up on beer, wine and other alcoholic consumables as coping
mechanisms. Other possible remedies include taping therapeutic Oprah
episodes and watching late night. (Lord knows you can't watch it during the day - "their shows are on!)
Prognosis: While PTSIO Syndrome is not fatal, some mothers have been driven to
the brink of insanity, but thankfully almost all regain their faculties by early September.
I have a preference for Dead in Bed syndrome myself

Just for your info.. this 30-year MT is NOT adding s to Down syndrome
so that is not what the problem is... I don't care HOW long you've been transcribing a split infinitive is a split infinitive! and verb tenses haven't changed, as far as I know... so don't act like 30-year MTs just aren't "with it" cause this one is!
I thought that was rectocranial inversion syndrome?
I'm outta here. Y'all have fun now.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
My best guess.
male Turner's syndrome...? please see inside first.

is this a child? sometimes symptoms are skeletal deformities...?
Sounds like irritable bowel syndrome ...sm
if you go to webmd.com you can read up on it as well as some things to do to help alleviate symptoms.
There is a disordered called Wilson's Syndrome
I believe. The TFTs will be normal, but there is still a problem and being put on low-dose thyroid replacement helps. I don't remember all the specifics now, but when through testing with my primary physician who had an interest in this.
Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.
I have the above, and neurologist told me that at all times to keep my wrists turned outwards and not bent inwards. This, along with wrist splints, have helped me tremendously and I have no need for surgical intervention.
Sounds like cubital tunnel syndrome (sm)
which is like carpal tunnel of the elbow.
I've been told to bend my elbows as little as possible, and wear knee braces on my elbows in bed to keep my arms straight (or else tie a scarf around my waist and tie my hands to my waist - but that sounded too kinky to me LOL)
I think you can get cortisone injections in there if necessary, which is easier than surgery.
what are the specific symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (sm)
Anyone know the specific symptoms of carpal tunnel? My right top of my arm feels sort of numb, like my forearm and my wrist aches. Also, my shoulder hurts. Is this typical for carpal tunnel or maybe something else? 
be careful all of you - you could be pushing yourself into repetitive use syndrome formerly carpal t
and then your ability to earn an income is jeopardized.... I know because I have walked in those shoes.
And don't forget avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome! nm
......
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
I should try this. Posttraumatic stress syndrome is what I have from a childhood filled with neglec
I am afraid of everything. It is exhausting being in a state of fight or flight. I have isolated myself and refused to have children as my own childhood was so terrifying. Did not help that we moved numerous times during school years. Thank goodness for a few sensitive teachers and the parents of a friend. With MT, at least I know what is expected of me. There is no guessing games like there are in my mind when I am in the midst of people.
Cold fingers often - diagnosed with Raynaud syndrome many years ago.
I usually try warm water first - if that doesn't help, I have these little packets, normally found in the camping section of stores called hand warmers. One is called Hothands-2(up to 10 hrs of heat), another one called MEGA warmer(12+ hours). One you shake to activate, the other just expose to air - then place them in a pocket or glove. I wear sweats with pockets - put them in my pockets and warm up my hands.
Found these several years ago as we go camping; however, hubby loves going out in late Sept & I'll swear would go all winter if he could. When he's comfortable, I'm turning blue!! He found these for me - and, they also have foot warmers (6 hrs heat), which sometimes I will use in the winter if I'm wearing my moccasins - with socks - while transcribing!!
I heard from a non-MT source that the use of excessive saccharin in the diet could cause CT syndrome
Would anyone have documentation of such?
Depends on which fingers it is. Guyon's canal syndrome is another possibility.nm

May-Thurner syndrome is compression of the left iliac vein by the artery crossing over it.

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected. I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them. Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only. I'd call the doc if it were my child.  give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter. First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day? Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms? It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain. Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup. Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners. Let us know how it goes for you. I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog. This is your chance to help him.
call first
I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial. That is ridiculous. I would be upset. How long ago did they bill your credit card? I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Most credit card companies will fight it for you.
Good Luck!!
You call that a different POV?
the point is how this person has attacked the OP. They were rude and it was uncalled for. so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.
I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior.
We call them
PIG NUTS up here! LOL They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:
idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
I can see why you call yourself that!
Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL
Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
I will call them
I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
Why are we getting a call
to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
The call...
was very friendly. Medquist will now offer:
1. 15 cpl/line for each and every MT regardless of ASL or regular transcription.
2. If work runs out each MT will be guaranteed compensation at their average hourly salary until work does come in.
3. All offices will be run exactly the same way.
4. If U believe all this, I do have a rather nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell...
No call yet either
I am still waiting for my call regarding the Rewards Plan. Letter is dated 9/2 and today is 9/14; that is almost a couple of weeks. The packet will come sometime in October so we will probably get a call a few days before it comes so we won't have enough time to look it over.
What should we call him?
