My hands get cold, and typing with cold muscles is like (sm)
running or other exercise when not warmed up. I wear thin, warm gloves with the fingertips cut out to keep my hands & knuckles warm. For muscle pains in the shoulders, neck, biceps, etc, try Flexall cream - I find it to be VERY effective. Also try slight changes in chair height, keyboard height and angle, and monitor height. I found if I enlarge the print on my screen, it keeps me from hunching forward to try to read it. (CTL + scroll up or down on mouse wheel to make print bigger or smaller. It will not affect the size of the finished product.) Frequent "mini-breaks" to do other chores: filing etc. if in an office, quick household task if working at home, also helps relieve repetitive stress. A few months ago I thought my typing days were numbered due to various pains & arthritis; now I can work pain-free for up to 11 hours in a day. Good luck! :)

Burrrpp!
I am awake but don't want to be
It looks okay to me. If that is what he/she is saying. Maybe after the artery pressures no comma before 39.
anybody awake?
Come on, you guys, surely somebody is still/already awake?
Aside from coffee and sleeping, how do you keep yourself awake?
I'm so very, very tired and sleep deprived this week from everything that's going on. My eyelids keep drooping and I can't get motivated, but I have to get this work done. I know if I try a little catnap, I'll be out like a light for the rest of the day. Any tips?
Anyone awake yet? Can someone take a look and tell me if I 'm typing this correctly?
There was no evidence of significant
in-stent restenosis of the RCA. A right heart catheterization was done as well. Right atrial pressures were 16, 12, and 11. Right ventricular pressures were 40, 7, and 15. Pulmonary artery pressures, 39 and 21. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is 21, 19, and 17 with left ventricular pressures of 132, 17, and 26.
oops, you said pasta sorry not awake yet

Mine was never awake long enough to try to help him.
He drank daily until he passed out and that was early. I decided I did not love him enough to put me or my son through it and asked him to leave. He did. I left too and never looked back. Do not know whatever became of him. Never saw my ex-husband again. Just had lawyer file for divorce and signed my divorce papers, which included taking my former name back, and moved on. Never remarried. It is so degrading living with someone like that. It makes you second guess yourself and your abilities too. I did not love him enough to hang in there. If I had, I guess the story would have some other ending, but I just didn't. Very sad but true for him and for me.
Help staying awake and productive
I have real problems staying awake, focused and productive. I am alone all day, I think I get enough sleep, and I keep the TV on in the other room for another voice, but I get bored and can't keep my concentration and then I start web surfing and my productivity goes in the hopper. Any suggestions on staying awake and focused?
does anyone have a problem staying awake while typing?
even when I dont feel tired, I sit down to type and my eyes start dropping. HELP. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
Any suggestions on how to stay awake and alert w/o No-Doz ? - sm
Got totally dumped on tonight with work--- about 120 minutes between 2 jobs---- would like to get at a good portion of it done tonight but tend to start falling asleep typing at 10 or so these days. Hate pills, especially hate No-Doz, hate coffee too, like capaccino but out right now.......so any quick fixes to staying awake, or should I just work until sleepy and get up after 5 hours of sleep? (i.e. 4 or 5 a.m.). TIA.
You might try exercise daily to help you stay awake. sm
When I was a slug, I used to fight sleep all the time while transcribing. Then I started daily exercise, and now I don't fight sleep at all. I also went low carb, too - carbs make you sleepy.
This will also help your productivity.
I use laptop outdoors. Only problem is trying to stay awake,

How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.
I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there.
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
You think that's bad? I had cold

It gets cold in FL too...........nm

I have listened to one sniff and blow her nose into the phone today.
Anybody live where it's cold?
Like below 60 today. Wish I were there.
COLD, 40s, where are you. BEAUTIFUL here in NY.

cold feet
I bought a cheap electric heater and run it pointing towards my feet.
Cold fingers
Even though I keep my house comfortable, I find my fingers getting cold when I type. Is it just me. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Cold in Colorado! ...
Burr is right! I'm in northern/central Colorado, I think it is about 5 degree now with light snow ... but the wind is dying down. Horrible hurricane type winds the last few days. Thanks for mentioning us Coloradans!! :)
Cold in the midwest too
I heard on the TV that Cedar Rapids (eastern IA) had temp of -17 with a wind chill of -30 this morning! BRR!
Old people who are cold?

cold fingers
All the time when I start out before the work area is sufficiently warmed up with the SPACE HEATER. Space heater essential to get fingers going.
How about a cold remedy?
I get great relief from colds with Zicam. (I also take 50 mg of oral zinc, which boosts the immune system). I use the Zicam when the cold is in my nose, with runny nose, sneezing, congestion. To open your sinuses you might want to try Rhinocort. You'll need a Rx for it, but it is good stuff. It's safer than Afrin (which works great but can't be used for more than three days, and can raise your BP). Oh, and chicken soup may help.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Mine gets cold too
Not sure why just the right hand. I have mild Raynauds though it is worse in my toes - I have to wear wool socks or slippers while I work.
Do you have cold intolerance in your hands or feet any other time?
Yes, I do have cold intolerance
I've been tested for thyroid, but it comes back okay. Hands always cold, but when typing the right one becomes much colder than the left, feels somewhat numbish, and painful in the wrist. I'm going to try making a wrist warmer with rice in it to heat in the microwave to see if that helps.
Cold in California
Chance of snow tonight near Fresno. I know this is not your kind of cold, but for us it's unusual.
aw man, it's too cold, but I'm wishing!
Cold hands
Does anyone else have freezing hands as they type? It's worse of course in the colder weather. Are there any gloves or similar products out there that we can wear while we type? Any ideas are appreciated! I freeze all the time, in warm weather or cold, but my hands are what I need to be warm to keep transcribing. I need a space heater that doesn't cause my electric bill to go sky high, but haven't found one of those either.
My hands are always cold too.
I have seen gloves with the fingertips cut out, but do not know how comfy they would be to type with.
I sit with a heating pad on my back cause I have arthritis in my hip and when my hands get cold I just put them behind my back to warm them up.
There are also those heat packs you can squeeze or rub together to warm up your hands.
You would think after typing and typing our hands would stay warm with all this exercise, but NO.
Keep Warm.
Cold Fingers
Try typing gloves! I have the same problem. They do help some. I also have been known to sit on a heating pad while typing -- helps warm me up.
Cold calling sm
Has anybody used cold calling to get their own accounts? If so, can you give me advice on how to go about doing this?
I'm also marketing with direct mail, etc., but would like to do some cold calling. I heard it works.
Thanks!
I'd like them for when I have cold hands
wonder if they would work for that...
I have had cold hands lately
and I tried buying some little stretch gloves and cut the fingers out, but I found in the Sunday paper an add for Miracle Therapy Gloves that supposedly reflect body heat. I was going to order them and try them. They do have a web site it's called www.DreamProductsCatalog.com
cold hands
My hands get so cold in my office that it's difficult to type. They're stiff from being cold. Any suggestions for a type of warming glove that wouldn't be cumbersome while typing?
what I did for my cold hands
I bought a duel-headed lamp with adjustable necks (kind of like the 50's space-age atomic style). I have it on my desk in front of the keyboard with a lamp head bent over and trained on each hand as I type. The warmth is wonderful, and it doesn't get in my way at all. And you can move them up a little if your hands get too warm. No cumbersome gloves that will slow your speed and accuracy down.
my right hand goes cold
Hi - I just developed identical sympotms as you in the last week. Especially while typing, my right hand goes cold and I have pain in the joint of my thumb and wrist. I also have very mild swelling in the hand (no one else notices but me). I can tell the fingers are all slightly more swollen on the right hand. My suspicion is this is a "repetitive movement" agitation of the joints kind of like tennis elbow or something. My plan of action - which will be very hard to accomplish - is take advil to reduce pain and swelling, and reduce movement of the hand by using my left hand instead. If the problem continues, I may try a home made splint or something from Walgreens. If after that, I'll go to the doctor to get a referal to someone who knows how to fix it. Please respond to this if you ever found out what your problem is. I'm at the beginning stages and people have said, "maybe you have arthritis". Well, I'm only 36, there's no way I'm gonna have arthritis this young, right? Anyway, I'd like to know what others have found.
Thanks
