In Reply to: i had a headache for seven months - XanaX
I went out and bought a new chair. No more headaches. That was 4 years ago and it still ticks me off that I had a headache for 5 months that no one had a reason for. Turns out that my chair was tilting funny and I was over-compensating for it without realizing that it was off balance.

BUt I like not being the boss and dealing with the headaches and I like having co-workers to help

Best thing - I am my own boss and my own emloyee, worse thing - I am my own boss and my own

I have been told the same thing!
I had applied for a job in another company who told me we pay for spaces and MQ does not. I do not have Word on work computer and tried to type on DocQsribe, copy and paste to my work email to send to my home computer, but I get a message regarding not being able to copy anything from DocQcribe. I have asked tech, payroll, management and everyone I can think of who might have THE answer and are always told we get paid for spaces and was even commented to, "why do you think going to 1 space and not 2 after periods and colons was done".
I was told the same thing, but..
I did research on my own and found out about compatibility mode. The MTSO simply told me that she would not ask any of the clients to change anything on their end. If you save the files in the 97-2003 format I do not see how anyone will know which version you are using.
one other thing I was told...
They also pay about 11% more in payroll taxes than we do to fund this as well as a GST/HST which is a goods and service tax and the equivalent of a VAT. Many provinces have sales taxes as high as 13% and that is on EVERYTHING. That's a pretty hefty tax increase to bear for working Americans. I personally do not want to be taxed anymore than I am now. Do you?
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.
Told same thing, immediately went to
almost 100% ASR, can't make any money on the garbage it spits out, many, many corrections most reports, no promises ever kept by them. Not even any time at 50/50, from the start almost 100% ASR, can type it much faster than can make the constant corrections.
No, as an IC, I am my own boss. I contract out my transcribing services, but I am my own boss.

It should be fine. I was told the same thing about old versus new puter and nothing

That's what I thought too, but I was told the built in thing was compatible with my router. nm

Do you know what caused the ....sm
water damage? Is it something that could happen again like flooding?? I would certainly wait until after inspection. Personally, though, I would probalby keep looking. Do you have a realtor? They could answer your money questions.
Hey Susan..I don't think it really caused any flames.

I bought one of those cat fountains and it caused
A brown area on the white fram around the plug. I sent it back and got my money back. Most of this stuff is made in China now and I think they use cheap wiring. I was glad I was home and noticed it because it could have melted the plug and started a fire.
Did try - it caused my supe to giggle :{ NM

I am pretty sure braces CAUSED my DD's TMJ
She never had it before she had braces, and has had it ever since. I started to do some research on the web about it, and it seems it is pretty common for orthodontists to line up the TEETH, but not the jaws - which is kind of a DUH thing to me. I mean, you would expect an orthodontist to know they needed to have both in line, right? My DD's teeth look beautifully straight, but her jaws click and sometimes get stuck.
caused me to go severely in debt
that 10 years later I am still recovering from - was writing checks on charge accounts to pay mortgage - this was local and when I would go to her house to pick up and drop off tapes I was seeing boxes from QVC yet she said she wasn't getting paid. Still angry.
I have heard that this can often be caused by stress.
In the early years of my first marriage, my husband soaked the sheets nightly. He was in the middle of a nasty divorce and child custody case. When those issues resolved, the night sweats disappeared.
Here's a different perspective on what really caused lung cancer.

That is what caused me to be unable to transcribe anymore.
I have to do QA now and it is a good thing I like QA, but I cannot do anymore transcribing due to the mess it has made of my back and to my hands/wrists. I also did minimally 2200 lines in 5 hours and have done as many as 3200 before. Those were the good ole days. Do it while you can because at that rate, it takes its toll on our body.

headaches
Have you had a CT scan?
Headaches
I used to have daily headaches and I would take some type of pain reliever (usually Excedrin) two or three, sometimes more times a day. Eventually it got to the point where the Excedring just wasn't cutting it anymore, so I went to see my doctor. He referred me to a neurologist. The first thing he told me was to stop taking any kind of over the counter pain meds. He said I was having rebound headaches, and I had to "detox" from the meds I had been taking. He also sent me for an MRI just to make sure there was no underlying cause for my daily headaches.
After my MRI and a complete exam by my neurologist we came to the conclusion that I was probably having migraines. Although my headaches are always in the back of my head, new studies show that migraines are not always just in the front of your head around your eyes. He put me on a medication called Topamax. It is a drug that is normally prescribed for epilepsy, but has also been shown to help people that suffer from headaches. It is used as a preventative medication. I take it every night before bed so I don't wake up with a headache. It takes some time to build up in the body, so it's not an instant fix. There was a 2-3 week period of time when I thought I might die because I hurt so bad.
The only advice I can offer is this: Make sure you are drinking plenty of water every day. Water is known to help with headaches. Make sure you are eating at least three times a day. I realized after talking to my neuro that I would often skip meals because I would be busy and he told me that is a sure fire way to cause a headache. Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep at night. 6-8 hours is key.
You may want to see about going to see a neurologist. Or discuss the possibility of migraines with your doctor. Since I have "detoxed" from the OTC meds, I still get headaches, but not nearly as often as I did before. I take the Topamax at night, and once I was significantly "detoxed", my neuro doc prescribed Relpax, which is a migraine medication similar to Imitrex that I can take at the onset of a migraine.
It will be difficult but you can do it. 
I don't get headaches too often, but
when I do rhey're miserable. I picked up a Homedics Shiatsu massager at Walgreen's which is specifically designed for the posterior neck muscles. It is a tremendous help! Seven minutes of this and I almost fall asleep. It's a medication-free option to consider. Good luck--I know it hurts :(
headaches
Thank you very much for your concern. I appreciate it. I do feel a little better today, although still didn't rest well last night. Got to do something about that but not sure what yet.
headaches
I really feel for you. I used to have stress migraines and I was on Fioricet 3 x a day. Also, found out that the Fioricet did not help headaches, made them worse. It just may be that the medicines you are on, one or some are causing the headaches. I have restless legs and tried amitryptyline, did not help. When I stopped the Fioricet and went on Darvocet my headaches went away. They really should order a CT or MRI of your brain to see if you have migraines. TMJ, allergies will also give headaches. A chiropracter and acupuncture did not help me. What helped, a hysterectomy for fibroids, my headaches were all menstrual related. I know how you feel on all those medications and try to find a doctor who will listen to you and figure out what medicine might be having a rebound effect, or what other medicine you could take. I also wake up at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning from restless legs, and I grind my teeth at night from TMJ, and the only medicine that helped with my fibromyalgia and TMJ and restless legs was Darvocet, there is something in that medicine that helps everything. Good luck, hope you get some answers soon, don't worry you will find a doctor who will listen to you, I did, and it was not in my head.
Those headaches do me in...
My husband has to literally hit my back by my shoulder blades and rub my shoulders every so often. I take Excedrin daily and freak out if we're low. But we're just goofing off at home, right? I also remember when I worked in-house about an MT who used to think about her grocery list while typing. When you mentioned you can't think about anything else while doing this, she came to my mind. She actually was very good and very fast. That was my first year doing this and I was in awe:-)
For those with headaches
Very often if you have someone massage your neck & shoulder muscles and the muscles along your occiput, you will be free of headaches.
If you don't have anyone to massage you, do what you can to yourself.
You can also use a tennis ball (lie on it or put between you and the wall). You can put it in a long sock and hang it down your back too (between you and the wall). It works great!
Often when I lie on the floor and use it along the occiput, the muscles are so tight that it refers pain around to the front of my head. Allow pain to reach 8/10 for brief spells and do a couple times a day if you can. :)

I read a book once that burnout was caused by being out of balance. sm
Working too much and not giving time to other parts of your life is the culprit in the job arena. Variety is the spice of life, so focusing on balancing your job, your need for a good cash flow, with times to enjoy yourself is essential.
It takes work, and fortunately I have an S/O that demands that I take time for us to have fun and for "me" to have fun as an individual.
Mwahahaha. Just call me the dealer that caused the shuffle. SM
I'm like you, I couldn't understand how this particular subject could cause such a ruckus. I got a little picky about how the question should be answered because there are many variables when talking about line counts.
So I'm just going to give my answer and hope that this helps you.
I work 8 hours a day and my line count is based on a 65 character line with spaces.
In an 8-hour day, with very few interruptions, I produce 1800 to 2000 lines a day. If the kids are home (as they are today), my production will slip to around 1500, sometimes even lower, but let's not talk about those days!
I was told I needed 2 phone lines, but was told I was dialing into the doctors' system. What woul
Your headaches and sleeplessness..
I just e-mailed you regarding your headaches, and I also wanted to let you know of a product I also use called Serene for sleeplessness. I have a type A personality and I always wake in the early morning hours and then cannot get back to sleep worrying about "stuff." Rather than take the prescription meds for sleeping I was more interested in getting natural relief and the company I referred to in my e-mail has the product named above for sleeplessness. It works wonders!!! I hope you find some relief soon. Char
morning headaches
Sleep apnea can cause morning headaches because of oxygen deprivation. Have you ever had a sleep study?
I have cluster headaches and this is
what I take. Fioricet with codeine and phenergan. I, too, get these often and I have found that they coincide with my hormone shot that my husband gives me every 2 weeks. I get them when my hormones are running low and then again a day or two after the shot. I, too, get 30 pills a month (sometimes I have to take them all - sometimes not) They are prescribed to take 2 at the onset of the headache and then 1 every 4 hours until the headache is cleared up to 6 a day. Sounds like you may be having a rebound headache from the meds though if you take one everyday just routinely. I had one doc prescribe just the plain fioricet without the codeine and it did nothing for the headache - some doctors just don't believe in or want to prescribe narcotics. I am also on oxycontin and norco for fibromyalgia - but these 2 meds do not help the headaches. Hope this helps. I would ask for what you think you need and for as much as you feel you need - you are the only one who knows your pain threshhold. I would also keep a headache diary to document and perhaps find triggers for your headaches that you could then avoid. Like I cannot be around strong colognes or perfumes or go into department stores where these are sold - it means immediate headache. This sensitivity prevents me from going to the malls, church, restaurants, and parties. It is a small price to pay, though, if it will prevent me from having a debilitating headache. I do miss church, though.
Tension headaches
Do any of you get daily tension headaches from wearing the headset? It is a daily problem for me and makes me have to stop to wait for the headache to go away. Any suggestions on what I could do to stop these headaches?

Rebound headaches are from medication
in pain, you may use the meds too often. The theory behind the rebound headache is that the overuse of drugs makes the headache rebound after your body uses all of the medication. An OTC drug or a Rx that is taken too often causes an episode where your brain gets relief from the pain, likes the effect, and then signals "pain" in its search for more of the drug, and you increase dosages to get more relief. Your medication becomes less and less effective and you create a cycle of misery. (This is adapted from the website, "Migraines for Dummies" (even though I don't have migraines.) It's the best explanation I have found on the web for rebound HA. I just want relief.

Long distance headaches - help!
I'm in Ohio and work for a service in California. It's been a real problem finding a true unlimited plan.
Have tried Vonage (call quality was substandard), ATT "unlimited" long distance (got one of those nice letters), and now the phone card company I had been using apparently decided to jack their rates way up.
Looking at ATTCallVantage, using satellite internet service (no DSL where I live). Anyone have experience with this, and do things work well for you?
All help is much appreciated!
Tax guy told me to hold 30%. After first year when got idea what I would be making, he told me
:P
Yes, I work 80-90 hours a week. I am going to stop because life is passing me by and it has caused
depression. There is no way mentally or physically you can keep up the pace. It is finally getting to me and I now realize there are more important things in life than work. I have been a workaholic all of my life. It started as an escape to a bad marriage but I ended up missing my kids grow up, I've lost friends because I have no time for them, and this is my last chance with an 8-year-old child left at home to get it right and put my family first. It means giving up a lot of "material things" but what do they matter when all you need is the love of your family. I'd never recommend this to anyone. 
Anyone type info on rebound headaches?
I've been told by my doctor to stop my medication for chronic headaches - she says I have rebound headaches. Has anyone out there been through this? It's been a week, and my head is killing me. She said I would have headaches for about two or three weeks, then they would taper off. Any ideas on getting through this period of time? Has anyone typed this?
Great West covers Botox for headaches.
Otherwise, go to a neurologist. It only costs $425 and worth every penny.
It sometimes is really hard to transcribe patients complaining about their headaches when your own head is about to explode. I did learn how to take charge of my own care, which happened to be extremely useful because the pain management physician I was assigned to ended up being the biggest idiot on earth. I was finally able to change doctors.
I have frequent headaches, too. My coincide with my periods. Nothing OTC helps. SM
Any suggestions for me?
I have occasional migraine headaches. I can miss a day of work and SM
make it up, no problem. I am glad I work at home during those times.
Sounds like Rodney King after he wreaked havoc and caused a great race riot.
Quit calling people FOOLS and then asking if we can't get along.
