allergies
Don't know for sure, of course, but we had a cat who was about 15 at the time and started sneezing. She had never done this before, so I took her to the vet, and they said it was allergies. I guess just like people, they can develop allergies later in life. Anyway, the vet gave me some antihistamines, but she said it probably wasn't really necessary and that the sneezing would probably go away in a few days -- which it did. It's a good thing, because that cat did not like having pills shoved down her throat. Good luck.
I have to cap allergies, too.

CAP allergies.
It all depends on the company. I've had to do it both ways..
allergies
Not to MK, but BeautiControl. A rep gave me samples to try and I used the eye shadow--my eyelid puffed up and was so tender it hurt to blink. Have never reacted to any other makeup. Was disappointed because it was such a pretty shade.
Allergies?
Sometimes allergies to dust mites which live in your mattress and pillow can cause headaches. Also, if you hang your sheets outside to dry pollen can become trapped in your sheets. Hope this helps and you find some relief soon!
I too have environmental allergies
I would recommend that you see an allergist if you haven't already. I am extremely allergic to Aspen cologne where I believe it causes me to have an almost asthma attack, although I do not have asthma, but my lungs feel like they are being crushed, like they are on fire, and I cannot breathe! I am very sensitive to all kinds of smells and I smell things others cannot. Ink on newspapers is awful not to mention perfumed products of any kind. These are just things that may be treated though with the correct allergy med regimen. I take a few different things every day, some Rx, some not. I have to or I have a headache constantly so I cam empathize with you.
I have personally found an OTC nasal spray decongestant will normally stop an allergy-induced headache for me best.
Weird. Nobody has ever had me cap allergies anywhere. SM
I believe you guys, I really do o-- I've just never had to do it.
I started having eye allergies...
It was terrible, both eyes red and swollen and tearing terribly. Turned out to be my hypoallergenic eye cream I was using at night underneath my eyes. So it could very well be that. When I threw away the eye cream, my problem cleared up.
seasonal allergies
 Has anyone who has hay fever ever tried any "natural" therapies which help? I take Claritin and/or Allegra but hate the way they make me feel, plus cannot shake this headache !
My son has terrible allergies and...sm
in past years has been on Singulair and Nasonex for them. They have always worked well together in the past to keep him from ending up with an upper respiratory infection and eventually nausea and vomiting from all of the mucus. This year; however, those two drugs do not seem to be doing the trick. I took him to the doctor and they switched him to Flonase and an Azmacort inhaler.
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these medications and what type of results you got. I know Flonase is supposed to be wonderful for allergies, but I'm curious about the Azmacort. His nasal congestion does seem to be a little better than yesterday but I have not been able to guage any benefit from the Azmacort yet (I know, it's still early to tell). The doc said that if these meds do not work he will have to start getting allergy shots.
He will be 8 on Sunday. He has been suffering every year (this time of year is horrendous) since he was 3. Just curious to hear any comments and/or suggestions.
TIA!!
I Hate Allergies!
I really hate this time of year because of my allergies. It is really hard to transcribe when your eyes feel like they are on fire and are itching like crazy! I look like I'm crying all the time...lol. The constant sinus headache is just loads of fun too. I've taken enough allergy meds for two people and used eyedrops galore. Oh well, it happens every year. I just needed to complain a little. Now I feel better...lol.
Hope everyone is having a great day! And Happy MT Week to all!
My son has terrible allergies
and will get to the point that he actually vomits up mucus. (I know not pretty). We have gone around and around over the past few years trying different medications. This year his doc put him on DuraTan PE. There is a pediatric formula and an adult formula. I have had a hard time finding info on this medication via the internet because it is realatively new, but it is a combination of phenlephrine HCl, Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Methscopolamine nitrate. It seems to work like a charm. Dried him right up. And my doc gave us free samples. You might ask your doc about it.
Actually, it sounds like you have seasonal allergies
and/or swimmer's ear that may have nothing to do with your headphones. How is the roof of your mouth? Itchy at all? Do your tonsils itch or feel raw? I take a loratadine/pseudoephedrine combo when my ears are full of fluid and itching. Don't overclean with Q-tips no matter how itchy they get. Allow the water to fully drain from your ears after swimming or bathing. Also, can you work without your headphones for a while? I sometimes listen through my speakers and send the kids out of the house when I need a break from headphones.
ALLERGIES AND MARYKAY PRODUCTS.
I am trying to find out why my eye keep watering (only on one side). Has anyone been allergic to Mary Kay. I have been using it for 20 years but for the last 5 months my eye won't stop watering. Doctor said it must be allergy to something. I do not wear mascara or eye shadow.
No rx needed, they are OTC. Benadryl is for allergies but (sm)
it is also the same ingredient that is in many of the OTC sleep meds.
Actually Valerian root and melatonin might be a very good combination. I have tried them each individually but not together. I might try that!
skin care products and allergies
I used another product that is sold on QVC by a lady doctor in September. Overnight I developed a horrible burn on my face that nearly closed both eyes. My skin was so red under my eyes that I looked like I had two black eyes. I believe it was a chemical burn caused by some ingredient in that product. It is now December 12, and I still suffer from a burning sensation and very red cheeks and sensitive eyes. I have not used this product since that first episode, but I have used other products from other companies, with the same result. I believe most of the upscale cosmetic and skin care products must contain the same ingredient that is too harsh for sensitive skin (obviously) and that may cause an allergic reaction.
I used bad judgment in not seeing a doctor with the first episode, thinking it would just go away. Well it does go away and cycles and recycles again and again, with the same results. I am not going through another cycle, and it is at the stage of just returning. It will get increasingly worse over the next two or three days and then start to subside, leaving my skin feeling like leather, peeling slightly under my eyes. I have bags under my eyes that I never had before.
I guess sooner or later I'll just get sick of all this and finally get a referral to a dermatologist before I suffer permanent, irreversible damage, if that has not already occurred.
I believe perhaps the ingredient is either salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acid, which seems to be the hot ingredient in skin care these days. I've used retinol products in the past without a problem, but I guess we can all develop allergies to anything. I've also used glycolic acid cleansers in the past without a problem. Again, allergies can certainly crop up in anything.
Incidentally, I have a friend who used Avon night cream recently who woke up with a face full of pimples, too!
wow, hard to believe that Mary Kay products would cause allergies - sm
when they test on animals!!!! They have voiced to the public that they WILL NOT stop testing on animals.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am being sarcastic about my subject line. The point I'm trying to make is that Mary Kay tests ALL OF THEIR products NEW AND OLD on animals. Part of their reason was to "prevent allergies in humans" .... rrrrriiiiggghhttt
we are required to list meds and allergies if more than one. nm

Allergies would be the child's own medical history sm
Not the family medical history.
As far as juvenile diabetes or similar diseases, genetically transmitted or otherwise, if the child is being taken to the ER the parents should have already been notified and be on their way. If the child's family physician is on record with the school (a legitimate request), then medical records can be sent to the ER. I still do not see any necessity of the school having anything other than the child's OWN medical history - allergies, shot records, current state of health, etc.
This stuff causes allergies in some people, too, and problems sleeping! nm

mine sucks snot all the time...allergies I guess.

if I may be so bold
The BOS is a general guide. No more and no less. It is not the Holy Grail. It is not the Constitution of the US. It is not Clark Gable's footprint.
I went to the AMA web site and did a Search for the term you mention. They show "plantar flexion" (two words).
So let it be written.
So let it be done.
if I may be so bold
 The AAMT is not the Holy Grail.
bold
Yes, bold the colon.
There is another way to bold in SH. I use it
to bold my headings that I need bolded. Insert {@key ctrl+B} I type this before and after my macro to turn off the bold after the macro is typed. Type it exactly as is or just copy and paste to a macro and test it out.
my macro for the heading PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: spelled out in bold is pmh;
On the keyword line type --- pmh;
On the "text to type line" type --- {@key ctrl+B}PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:{@key ctrl+B} ...
To save time adding these to all your headings that need to be bolded, just copy and paste {@key ctrl+B} before and after everything that needs to be bolded. This saves me a ton of time. Someone at work gave me this code and I've been using it for years now.
RE: Bold
I use SFT-F1. Don't recall if that is with my ShortHand program or what.
SH Bold
After you create your bolded, entry, it will look this in the "text to type" box: {@KEY Ctrl+B}PMH{@KEY ctrl+B}
When you create it, Name your Keyword, then go to the Text to Type Box.
1. Click on "tags".
2. Click on "Ctrl - K" on the pulldown menu that pops up.
3. Hit the keys "Control" and "B."
4. Type in your heading.
5. Repeat Step 3.
6. Hit OK to save your new keyword.
To bold
Type this in ShortHand {@key ctrl+B} then whatever you want bolded, i.e. CHEST, and then {@key ctrl+B} again.
So it would look like this in your Shorthand {@key ctrl+B}CHEST{@key ctrl+B}
Hope this helps.
Bold
I don't think it allows for much other than characters. I could be wrong though.
SH bold formatting and others
In the "Dictionary Text [Add]" dialog box, as you
are entering in the "Text to Type", when you need
to add special formatting, you simply tap Ctrl-K, and
add the keystroke commands applicable to your
word processor to change to the desired font.
For example, Microsoft Word uses Ctrl+B to
enable/disable bold face. So to simulate bold text
with ShortHand in Microsoft Word, you simply need
to simulate the Ctrl+B keystroke. When you are done
your word(s) that are bolded will look like this:
{@KEY--Ctrl+B}your text{@KEY--Ctrl+B}.
When you actually type the key (as you transcribe)
Shorthand will automatically/instantly enter all the
special function keys that you have entered, and
your text will come out formatted.
You can use the same concept to add any formatting codes to your Shorthand text, including underlining, italicizing, changing font styles and/or font sizes. You can also add tabs, change margins, etc.
Try thi out and if you have any problems with this, post another message.
Is it possible to Bold and/or italicize
words in the glossary?
I tried Control B and typed IMPRESSION: in glossary Editor window but when <<IMPRESSION>> came up on Meditech screen, it was not blue as words are when bold in Meditech.
Thank you.
To "Just Me" re SH bold...
the string of characters you describe is what Ctl-K does. Discussed below this post. I tried typing those codes and it didnt work at all, just made a big mess. What version are you using?
How do you bold in shorthand?
/
shorthand bold
name it bo or bd, do this entry: ctrl/k, ctrl B, OK, will look {@KEY Ctrl+B)
shorthand bold
CTRL B then CTRL K type word, CTRL B again to undo. I think, search on this site.
Bold in Shorthand
I am running older version of shorthand. In the "text to type" box I have to type exactly as follows before and after each word(s) I want bolded (see example below)
{@key ctrl+b}PHYSICAL EXAM:{@key ctrl+b}
There is a space between key and ctrl. Whatever you type in between each "command box" will be bolded (you can do same for italics (ctrl +I), etc. I found this in help section within the program. Hope this helps. 
Autotext gone Bold?
Why are my autotext entries turning bold when I go to use them? I am starting to get annoyed here...I constantly have to change the autotext entry back to regular. I know I did not enter it in as bold. What is going on here?
What is the difference between an acute care account and a multispecialty account??..nm

Another Shorthand Question. How to Bold
I know this has been on the boards before, but would appreciate instructions on how to bold with Shorthand. TIA very much.
Bold and underline in word. I am looking
at my screen now and at the top of tool bar, right side, there should be a B I and U. Just click on the B for bold and the U for underline and that should do it.
If you have a mouse, hold it over these letters and it will tell you what they are.
How do you bold and/or underline a word in....
Step by step directions would be so greatly appreciated! TIA
Actually you can use bold and other attributes in Autocorrect
Just highlight the text and click on "formatted text" when you are entering it into Autocorrect.
How do I bold entries in Shorthand?
nm
You have to create it with the bold command
s
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
can you put bold characters in autocorrect?

I have one now where we CAP, bold and underline them (teaching hospital) -
and on one I used to only capa and bold. Everyone is different.
things like centering, bold, underline, etc.
(this is what was cut off my first message -- sorry about that!)
I've never had a problem switching from account to account.
The problem I had was being switched too soon. If I don't get one account spec solidly in my memory with QA feedback on mistakes before starting another, I get confused. The other problem I had with former jobs was inconsistent QA. One person tells you one thing, another person tells you another.
Lately, I don't have a problem with it. Right now, my binder has 8 account specs (some I've never had to use) and I'm picking up a new weekend job for a while. The terminology and report formats stay basically the same. It's just all those little preferences. LOL
Maxwell House BOLD and I drink it black. Whenever I go sm
to Starbucks, I get a Venti tripple café mocha. Love it!
Type whatever word/phrase, bold, highlight, sm--
select Autocorrect, add.
