thing. Can't remember what its called, but when the OB/GYN gives it out, its in a pretty floral package...different package, same drug. I LOVED it. It worked nearly immediately to lighten my mood and improved my sleep. About 4 days into it, I developed complete urinary retention, which turns out to be a very common side effect. I was crushed...Now I alternate and take Lunesta every other night or so to sleep. Very mild and works great! Love that butterfly! Good luck to you!

Prozac, anyone?
My doctor started me on fluoxetine 10 mg a day x2 weeks, then increase to 20 mg daily. (For insomnia and mild depression due to menopause.)
Just wondering if anyone has been on this drug, if it worked and how long before you saw results? I know drugs vary greatly from person to person, but I just want to know what people's experience has been. I take very drugs, but my sleep pattern has been horrible and I am willing to try anything. TIA
I took Prozac and phentermine
I took the combination a long time ago, probably close to 8 years ago after being on a couple of other weight inducing hormone drugs to help with endometriosis. It did not work for me, but the way it was explained to me was that this was the "new" combination since Phen/Fen was taken off the market. Phentermine can cause hypertension, as it is an amphetamine. The Phen/Fen, from what I understand, the "Fen" caused heart valve problems, which caused it to be pulled from the market. I never personally took the Phen/Fen, but have taken Phentermine off and on for years.
Prozac has really worked for me..
I take 10 mg q.d. because I was getting nuts around my period. I take before bed and have been very happy with it. I have never taken any other medication before and I was really wary of it, but I do not plan on stopping it. I also have lost quite a bit of weight on it as well. It has really worked for me.
I think it would be like the Prozac scare...
People susceptible are going be the ones who are in danger from it.
One of my BFFs from elementary school, who lost her 40-yo husband to lung cancer 2 years ago and yet was still unable to quit swears by Chantix. It finally got her off the cigs about 9 months ago for good.
A drink versus Prozac
Don't worry about it. A drink (in moderation) every now and then, in my opinion, is better than being hooked on Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. I know several women who do not drink, never drank but can not do without their "happy pill". I have a glass of wine or beer after a hard day while cooking dinner which probably happens less than once a month.
Exercise, cutting down on sugar, and Prozac helps me. nm

Prozac was great! Took for depression for 10 yrs! Saved my life. nm

Phentermine causes pulmonary hypertension - it is not worth the risk. Prozac - you can go either wa

I am looking at the exact same car!
I can get a 2006 Toyota Prius for about $24,000. That is not much more than I paid for my 2004 Ford Taurus that also accepts ethanol but where I live they don't make ethanol. :(
I have to get on a waiting list at the dealer. Also, I read too that there is a $3000 tax credit which would help to offset the price which I don't think is too bad anyway. :)
Please let us know if you get one and how you like it. :)
I'm doing the exact same as you. sm
I got out of MT for about 3 years and just recently started again part-time at the hospital so that I can put myself through college. So I'm just using and doing this as a means to the end to start all over again doing something I want to do.
Best of luck to you MTBlab.
This is my exact complaint
The looking up of addresses is ridiculous. I don't care HOW fast you type or HOW many macros and shortcuts you have, nothing will prepare you for that! The platform is user friendly where I work also. Most of the time with this company, I'm making less than $10 an hour because of this... and this job is my overtime job!
It's a small MTS and I really don't want to work for a national (from all that I hear on this board), so what does one do? How does one find the smaller companies to work for?
the exact words were
"Most are not even MTs anymore, bunch of redneck southerners mostly. Lost of dirty talk."
It it wasn't about people in the south, there would have been no need to inject term "redneck southerners." The poster could simply have said "people."
So, it seems to me YOU have the problem with reading comprehension. 
Would you share the exact name -sm
of this keyboard? I'd like to find one with wrist rests like you describe. I have one that is split, but the wrist rests are quite right. TIA.
I am going ot be 40 soon and the same exact thing!
Glad to hear it's normal. For me I think it is from always having a lot on my mind and stress can probably do it too.
Do you have the exact web address? Please em it to me. Thanks! nm

I once saw your exact symptoms on a PBS
show about these families who were sent out west to live in cabins..."Pioneer House" I think was the name of it. Anywhoo, one lady, a nurse, thought she had a blood clot in her arm because it was going numb and cold. She was on the pill too and that worried her even more. So, she saw the doctor and it turned out to be bursitis, although she didn't notice any pain! Weird, huh? But yeah, you should have someone check it out just to be on the safe side. Hope it gets better soon!
Does anyone know the exact ruling on...Please help
What is the exact HIPPA ruling on turn around for H&P? Over the years I have heard different rules. The report has to be on the chart within 24 hours of admission. What is the Transcriptionist to do if the doctor dictates it the 24th hour? Is there any leeway here?
Exact same boat for me 2 !!! nm

just had the same exact problem.
The newer version of Express Scribe 4.16 does not support dss files. She needs to go to the express scribe forums page and look for the file to download version 4.15. Once that is done. If she is running XP, go to the help and support section on her computer start menu. Run the compatibility wizard but make she she chooses no previous compatibility. This fixed mine in a flash. Then try to reload files and it hopefully should work. you can email me too if you like
I have run into the exact same thing
Where I trained (OJT training) it was always disc. The second job I had, my primary used disc and all the secondaries wanted disk. At my current job every client (so far) uses disk. It can drive you crazy learning to do something a different way for each client and trying to remember it all, switching between them all day!
This is why flexibility is key. AAMT rules don't mean squat to many doctors, and some insist on their eccentricities so THEY can tell its their own report and not someone else dictating under their name (which happens plenty, and isn't always caught). I've had many literally make up words which cannot be found in any dictionary, but they insist you put them in their reports because its their product and up to them what they want it to say.
So I'd say if you want to blame anybody for any bad habits MTs have picked up in their years of experience - point the finger straight at the clients! With effort we CAN unlearn bad habits, but who's to say the next client won't insist we learn a few more?
my exact thoughts on this..
No gas expense, type in shorts, and have the windows wide open to hear the birds singing...
I had exact experience... sm
I did fine on the test questions but the transcription was muffled and I listened to it over and over for hours and still failed that portion of the test. I was not allowed to make excuses or to retake. The test was the most in-depth I had ever run into. Anyway, I took a test for one of the companies the matchmaker was testing me for, and I'm now working for them.
Not sure your exact situation but if it were me
directly. What company is this? I live in Iowa and had a similar situation about 6 months ago with a company I'm hoping will be shut down by the end of the year!
I have the exact same problem with CS.net
XX
I am in the exact situation you are in...sm
except it isn't that I am bored with clinic. I don't have near enough work and it is just getting worse. I cannot find another job because I do not have acute care exp. Well I do but only like 2 months. I need this exp if I am to have a good job I think. At least it seems that way.
I'm going thru the same exact thing right now....
I live on a busy road AND they are building a 3-story building across the street. I just ordered a sleep mask (hope it works). Right now, I just blacken the room with black/out curtains (still not perfect, slivers of light still peek thru and I need black.
I hate ear plugs, uncomfortable and don't really work.
However, what I have found that does work is one of those sound maskers (I use waterfall sound). I also have a box fan running (if it's too cold I just face it somewhere it won't blow directly on me. These too things, along with the room-darkening curtain liners seem to do the trick pretty well. I'm hoping the mask will help some more.
I've also heard people had good luck with those air-whooshing-type sound machines. Right now I just have one of those little ones that play a variety of sounds...waterfall, rain, tropical forest, etc.
Good luck!
I had the exact same issues! sm
Maybe I'm an old dog. I started out with PRD and basically use IT the same way. I don't utilize all the bells and whistles that IT has. It really got overwhelming when I tried to use every aspect of the program. I basically just use it like the old PRD program and it works for me!
I think I'm going through this exact thing now
I've been with this current company for over a year now, and suddenly I have been having a lot of 'strange' things happening lately. The queues seem manipulated, I get jobs pulled back when I'm more than halfway through, my pay has been short, etc. They say these are all mistakes or accidents, so they're making me feel like it's all in my imagination. Can you tell me through email the name of the company he was talking about? I would really, really appreciate it just for some peace of mind that I'm not totally paranoid here.
I think you should tell Dell that exact same thing
that you posted here ... about getting some guy named Bobby that can't even speak English! Let's not forget the hours of time you spend on the phone repeating sentences and questions over and over again.
I've had the exact same week...
I just choked down 2 more Motrin and 4 Tums. What is going on this week? I've been extremely nauseous, sore and achy, and completely exhausted and barely transcribing. I can't seem to focus on it. I just started with this company a few weeks ago, but I just hate the job. They monitor every little thing and have so many passwords on this system that I can barely get into a rhythm. Even to use Google, I have to plug in a password multiple times each shift as it times out. I'm supposed to email them when I start, stop, break for lunch, etc. I feel like Big Brother is watching me constantly. What's weird is that it's sort of backfiring, because I feel paralyzed or something! Anyway, I'm down in the gutter and don't feel well and have been living in my bath robe all week and haven't put on makeup, fixed myself up, etc... I am so discouraged. I keep trying to snap out of it, but I feel too lousy. Ugh. I need to find a better company, but after reading the boards, I don't think one exists.
Yes, exact same person in my life. sm
I have a similar situation with my mother. She is just so negative and miserable all of the time. Snide remarks always and lives in the past. It is very painful, but I have distanced myself. I love my mother, but I can not keep her close any longer. It is just too painful. She disrupts my inner peace most times.
Instead of talking to her every day, I now call once a week, and soon it will be once a month. I am one of 6, and the others call once a month or stop in to see her once a month if that, and that is just so wonderful....So, I figure, if it is okay for them than it is okay for me. It actually feels good to have my own life without negative energy feeding into it.
Always love your mother, but you do not need to have her in your daily life. That is my philosophy. Good luck.
That is the exact same thing that happened
to me at MQ.
Yes, and FEMA went through this exact scenario
for this storm with the same demographics and destruction level almost a year ago with NO and they were told they would not survive, given a list of procedures and policies to put into place, etc., and a hefty grant to initiate all the action...almost a YEAR ago. Nothing was done by NO authorities. Nothing.
He will have his share of blame for this, I'm sure.
I was told that exact same thing.
Even got it in writting. Very difficult account (marjority ESL) and changed my work types completely. However, 13 days later they sent out an e-mail (to the entire office - not just me) that if quota was not met then the benefits were gone. When I confronted them with this, I was told there was no exceptions. Needless to say, I spent approximately 8 hours of OT getting my quota (of course not paid OT, just the lines), as I also have got to have the insurance. If you have a good supervisor though, they probably will work with you.

I do not see how everyone can stick to an exact schedule.
I have been doing this for years, and in my experience MT is feast or famine. Only in instances where incoming work is totally even every day can you work a set schedule and everybody have work all the time. Some companies require you to work a scheduled shift, and for the life of me I do not know how they distribute the work evenly. I have been an employee and an IC and in both instances had to work when the work was there. I call taking the "good" work and skipping the "bad" cherry picking. The company should never allow this. Even if I had the ability to log in on someone else's account when I knew that was work meant for that person, and they could get it done in TAT, I think that is simply stealing lines. However, if a person is willing or able to work outside their "schedule", and the company is okay with this, I do not see that is taking away work from someone else. Blame whoever distributes the work, because they should have the technology in place to block your access to unauthorized accounts.
YES YES ! Same exact thing. On the worst day you can't even

The big thing with them seems to be that it MUST BE in the EXACT same CONDITION as
purchase. I was on the end of returning and did get a timely refund.
I can't remember the exact model, but.....
We go the one that would go into a waterbed frame (as that is what we have), but it wil also go onto a regular frame. We also got a king size(it is great. We also chose the dual chamber model (I don't think it is any more expensive) so that I can set my number and my husband can set his. We have a friend who only got the single chamber and when his wife gets in or out of bed the number isn't the same any more. So I would highly recommend the dual chamber if you share a bed. As far as the exact model number I can't remember...but with it having to fit into the waterbed frame and wanting a King there was only 1 model number to choose from and I think it was the 5000. Good luck...you will absolutely love this bed!
I know how you feel. i did the exact same thing. sm
i recently took employee job too for the benefits and PTO but i am so used to not having a schedule that it has been really, really hard and also extremely hard to be productive with both accts. i am at the point i am not making either happy.
if with the employee job if you think you could earn more there in the long run and have more stability, i'd talk to them about your difficulties sticking to a schedule. if they found you to be a good employee, most will work with you on strictness with schedules.
if not and you are not really getting PTO and benes, the reason you took it to start with, why stay there when it sounds like you want the flexibility more? you didn't give reasons why you were treated unfairly. where they unhappy with your TAT or work or something to that matter that you could eliminate that happening in the future and consider how long ago that was. if it was a long time ago, i'd forget about it and stay there and make them happy.
Lori, I'm in the same exact boat.
I get awesome lines in Medrite but struggle to make lines on the Apex platform. I asked about this, and they said management is aware and looking into it, but I'm wondering how long. I honestly feel for you. I'm considering looking for work elsewhere. It's a struggle just to make the minimum lines on that platform.
I had the same exact problem 2 years ago, also. sm
I had to overhaul my entire hard drive. After spending 1 week trying to uninstall, download, etc, I just finally formatted my hard drive and started from scratch! Not exactly the answer, but it worked for me. Have had no problems since then and ES has been great to me!
Good luck. I am so sorry I can't be of any more help to you.
Every word you said is my exact same story.
I've been having insomnia because I lie awake at night (after working a 14+ hour day, not counting any breaks)and wonder what else is out there that I can do. I began at-home work for the flexibility, but find that when you work all day and half of the night, the 6 or so hours that are left don't really sound all that 'flexible' to me.
Back in 1975 I had all kinds of 'marketable' skills, but now I have only this one, and no matter how hard I work to produce accurate, timely reports in a multitude of specialties, I keep making less and less every year.
I read the local community college class lists every semester, but what few classes I could take without going back to complete umpteen million high school prerequisite credits, I'm not interested in. And vice-versa. Other careers that used to interest me as a 20-to-30-something, I no longer have the energy to even DO, let alone train for.
Since I started working for a national, EVERY CENT I make goes into the bare-bones necessities, and I haven't put a dime into my 401K for almost 2 years.
Have looked into writing jobs, but most require at least a B.A. Degree, and all I have is a skin-of-my-teeth A.A. Have wondered about retail, but don't know if I have the patience to deal with all those customers. Plus I know zip about retail, anyway.
Being a dog-walker or pet-sitter would suit me temperamentally, since I prefer animals to people, but that field is so totally saturated in my area that (you guessed it) they're undercutting each other right and left, price-wise.
Have searched the 'net countless nights, but much of what *appears* to be a way to earn a living with a home computer or online is nothing but a scam.
Isn't there any part of the business world out there that needs 'word technicians' anymore?
Not sure if I've had that exact problem, but (sm)
FYI, you can open the minimized SH window with F10, in case you didn't know that quick key.
I had this exact same thing - what worked for me SM
Just like the other poster suggested - I got another wrist gel pad and put it on the floor in front of my pedal - WORKED GREAT! My heel was simply sore from rubbing on the hard floor and this has worked wonders for me.
I actually bought the long one, the one that goes in front of my keyboard so I don't have to worry about the little one sliding around and it has been one of the best things I've done. No more heel pain for me!
I do the exact same thing... take breaks often..nm

Same exact thing happened with me too...sm
Last week and this week.
I was just looking on this site for the EXACT same thing!!

I had the exact same problem, Candi
The program appeared to download just fine and it was in the directory, but no matter what I did I could not get it to actually install and/or run. My computer was brand-new so I don't see how anything could have conflicted with it.
I don't know how to prompt it because I ended up getting a company computer and no longer needed it on my own personal computer, but I'd be very curious to hear how the problem is solved just in case I ever need to launch it.
Let us know what happens and I hope tech support can get it fixed for you quickly :-)
The exact same thing happened where I used to
work - the verbal 'warnings', written 'warning', then termination. And of course, all based on bogus allegations of 'noncompliance' if you couldn't keep up with the impossible production goals, or the QA for which the specs were changed daily. And if you spoke up about it you were 'insubordinate'. I just wish unemployment were open-ended and could last indefinitely. If that were the case, I'd jump off this merry-go-round in an instant for an unemployment check. At least it'd be something I could count on, which MT, sadly, is NOT.
same exact thing happens to me since I started coming here
