to naproxen, so cannot take ibuprofen now, as they are closely related. I would think if naproxen isn't helping, neither will ibuprofen. Try something unrelated like Tylenol?

Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone! 
I wish I could - I have a fireplace but am allergic to...sm
fresh burning wood. Wah!!!
Allergic to "cillins."
Is it acceptable to transcribe this as cillins, or is there an exceptable expansion I can use?
Yes, am allergic to their lipstick. Never tried anything else but that and
broke out with blisters on my lips. I am not prone to fever blisters or any of the sort. Dermatologist said I was allergic to whatever ingredients were in it. Never tried it again, use CoverGirl, and never had blisters again!
I'm allergic to my new earphones!!!
I know this sounds nuts (I'm nuts), but my noise-dampening earphones arrived a week ago and I put them on. I should tell you that I have sensitivities to latex and adhesives, but this is not a problem I deal with very often. Anyway, I donned and immediately began getting itchy. I ignored it. Then my ears began to burn. I kept typing like a "good" MT. Tee hee. Then I started getting hives and my throat started to itch. Yikes!! Okay, that got my attention. So I took them off and took a Benadryl. I haven't touched them for this whole week, until today. I tried them again, albeit foolishly, thinking it wouldn't happen again. I was willing to think it was psychosomatic (allergy to work, ya know). Ummm, nope. It all happened again. Oh well, at least Transcription Gear has a 30-day guarantee. Wait until I give them my "reason for return". Crazy. I thought I'd give you all a 'Buyer Beware', 'FYI', and stuff like that... See ya!
possible allergic reaction to something--sm
You also sound like you think it may be psychosomatic, which is always a possibility, but don't think so. possibly mumps, which is going around again these days. Get to a doctor. soon. jmo
a coworker is allergic to the foam
covering as well. either way they make my ears hurt/red so i put just a tiny bit of cotton from a cotton ball inside each ear before putting on my headset and don't have any problems.
It does sound like an allergic reaction...
What did he eat or drink prior to breaking out? As long as it doesn't get any worse, I would just ride it out. But if it does, I would follow the advice of the other poster.
I'm allergic to the daggon things, but I STILL
Could be Flonase, but that is usually 50 mcg for non-allergic symptoms
Might get more of a response on Word Help board instead
No, but I knew someone allergic to the foam covering.
Might be something to ponder.
I used to use MK foundation, but they changed the formula and now I'm allergic to it.
It makes my eyes water and I can't wear it any longer. I haven't found a foundation that I like as well as the previous MK formula. I wish they hadn't changed it.
his next allergic reaction will be quicker and worse.
get thee to an allergist.
It's not unusual for a patient listed as allergic to penicillin to be given it anyway.
Often it's the only drug that will work and the allergy was vague and from so long ago, they deliberately try it anyway. If that had been the case, you'd have more than likely gotten a very negative response.
When I worked for a vet. guy had dog allergy tested and dog was allergic to human dander. No kidding
:I
If allergic to nickel, then avoid green beans, broccoli, peas, etc.
I have that same allergy, had problems with the old metal zippers, snaps, etc.
This is a link for metal/nickel allergy

So basically she herself is QA?

I do basically the same as you, but I will
as I type in Word, and this helps with not having to go back and read the entire document. I find that if I notice it right away, correct it, then I can move on, and it also helps if I need to re-listen to the term or phrase. I have also noticed where my auto correct did not expand correctly, and even though my final spell check would most likely pick this up, I tend to be a little more careful with that as well. I am so afraid to go with an Expander because I'm sort of afraid I'll lose that "specialist" touch you speak of. 
They are basically just saying
we will make your transcription look good like she looks good.
I don't see what the big deal is. Sex/beauty sells everything lately. It's just the world we live in, unfortunately. Every commercial on TV almost has some type of sexual undertones to it and some very obvious.
Basically, yes and no.
That doesn't help much, does it?
They all pretty much perform the same functions, but some have different types of connectors that hook to the computer and/or equipment.
I've got 2...a USB that hooks to my computer, and one that hooks directly into a Dictaphone. I know some other pedals connect to game ports. Sometimes the software allows you to set up a variety of pedals with different connectors.
It is basically just something you have to
make yourself do. I learned this way as when I started as an MT we were on typewriters, so you had no choice.
It's the drugs
x
drugs.com
I almost always use drugs.com for almost every drug need. It's the best site I have found, but otherwise, I prefer Stedman's Quick Look, but let's face it, by the time these books are printed, there are another 100 drugs out there. Can't keep up fast enough with them. So the web site is the best.
Drugs@FDA

You can search for any 3 consecutive letters and pull up a list of all drug names containing those 3 consecutive letters.
drugs.com
I use this site because you can put in a part of the drug name, and it gives you a list of drugs that contain that letter combination. So if you can only hear the middle part of a drug, it gets a little easier to narrow it down.
try drugs.com (nm)
x
drugs.com
The problem I have with this site is that there are many generic drugs that are listed with a capped first letter. It is hard to tell which drugs are brand name and which are generic when using drugs.com.
If you are typing the drug name in a paragraph and it is generic, the first letter is not to be capitalized so it is important to be able to find out if the drug is brand or generic.
Drugs.com... just for MTs... sm
Drugs.com lets you type in just a few letters and provides choices. Also, from the homepage on the right, there is a link to drug search just for MTs. It lets you do a wildcard search. I.e., audio is garbled and you hear t-max, you could type in t*max, and it would provide all drug choices. It also has a 'sounds like' search which is most excellent. You can also search for drugs by condition. This site hasn't let me down yet. Best part, it's completely up to date, and free.
I feel basically the same way sm
why waste their time, as well as mine, just to say, "Hey, I'm your new sup"! Come on, if you need a message to figure that out...well, I don't know what to say about that! Anyways, you're right. I don't need anybody holding my hand...that's why I work at home! 
You are so right - it's basically worthless
nm
But you could basically try 50 lines per sm
report, and go with that. That is a reasonable ratio with the differing times you sated. Would add up to about 1250 lines, give or take different dictators, and the ways lines are counted. Some dictators take FOREVER to dictate 7 mins, others breeze through 3 mins, with lot of lines.
Basically, it boils down to this....
Back in the day, we were seduced!
Now we're being raped.
I agree. I mean as an IC you basically pay
so many write-offs. Hire a tax professional your first year to see what things you need to write off. From then on out, a lot of ICs actually do their own. Employee status simply means the employer withholds tax money, but they also have a lot more control over you as far as set hours and pay for that matter.
I basically tell them I know nothing about that route (sm)
Like you I was an MT for 7 years or so before I ever had kids. And even then I did not have the chance to work at home, nor would I have wanted to, actually. IMO with our work, the choice, if you have high-need babies like mine, is either (a) ignore the kid and work or (b) work when they're sleeping. Which means I don't get to sleep like, at all, because I had babies who did not sleep much.
I would, and have, done what you did the drugstore clerk. You can't tell some people anything.
I personally have told people who asked me, "I wouldn't. You won't make enough money for the aggravation." I've also told them, "If that was your plan, you should have started 5 years ago so you had all that under your belt before you had kids." Depends on the circumstance and how hateful I'm feeling that day. (blush)
In theory, it's basically the same as the other
MSWord version; it just has all the bells and whistles.
It was basically an example of a post on there.
Everything should be checked out first, but just like you confirmed, there are local practices for each state that will post for MTs. I found one myself but I guess I was too late because they never contacted me.
Just trying to help... 
Absolutely, but basically because
It seems ANYONE thinks they can do it. Even those with atrocious spoken English who apparently slept through basic high school English classes and those who have no gift for spelling at all seem to think that if they can play hunt-and-peck on a computer keyboard, they can be an MT.
I reached the point long ago and when I they propose that godawful question, "How do I become a medical transcriptionist?," I give them the most blunt answer I can without being downright rude...
"Take some night classes in basic English and spelling, then you'll have to take a couple of classes in anatomy and medical terminology. That's just to start."
They lose interest quite quickly when they realize they'll have to exert some effort.
basically I agree
I think definitely industry was better before the BOS, when good MTs simply used good English skills and common sense. Some uniformity in the business was an okay concept, but too much of the "rules" make no sense, and changes at the association's whim. Like another said, it **severely** reduces productivity, which works against the patient, the hospital and the MT. I flat refused to pay any attention to it for years, after a hospital supvr told me some of the "rules" in it, and only when I had to for employment, finally got one and now use it.
Drugs!! Works for me!
Seriously. I actually was a big procrastinator, and really suffering for years from lack of motivation. Turns out I have ADD, and have been on meds for a few months now. Actually tripled - TRIPLED my income in these few months. Everything is just focused and easy and I am so productive, its scary...Maybe you have adult ADD. Supposedly millions do...I used to be a skeptic, but I'm a believer now!
New generic drugs.
New generic name for viagra......................micoxafloppin. Next.. please add.
Oh, yes! Illegal drugs are fun!
I never even did drugs when I was a stupid teenager.
Anyone know where I can get a list of new drugs
nm
generic drugs
I type drugs that are capped or have capital letters anywhere in them into autocorrect. Then I just type the drug just like it is generic, then autocorrect "corrects" it.
did in the past but does not do drugs...sm
I wish he'd come in here and sue your arse...for that post
She could even be on drugs. Keep distance.
She might think you are where she would like to be and wants to impress you in her little mind and little world.
www.drugs.com.... don't care much for
rxlist.com....never helped me any
Try *sartan*. It will come up with drugs ...
that contain those letters in any part of the word. I don't think you can just do an ending but you can quickly go through the list it does give you.
I agree about the drugs.
My nephew was on the Fiengold program and diet without the drugs and it worked very well until he was around 12 and started to cheat on the diet and sneak the junk food :) It is a LOT of work for the parents and tough on the kid. But it did work for him for many years and it's a very healthy preservative-free/chemical-free diet. I think it's probably worth looking into.

Over the counter drugs
Are over the counter drugs capitalized? Example: "Unisom"
Thanks
Canada drugs
I used them. Did not seem to have any problems. I figure you do not hear of Canadians dropping dead left and right from using the medication. Saved some money.
