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! :)

Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned--the dark meat and white
but I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
the thought of a snack became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
pickles, and carrots, beans, and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky
with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees,
Happy eating to all--pass the cranberries, please!
May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.
WISHING YOU ALL A THANKFUL THANKSGIVING
wishing disaster on anyone is
 no matter how strongly you feel, you should never, ever wish disaster on anyone. Don't you know that could come back to bite you in the butt...not a nice place to be bitten...except by you hubby maybe! For real though, that was cruel. Too many innocents suffer when a disaster like a hurricane or tsunami sweep through, not just the ones you wish it on. Remember, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!
Wishing I had so many options!!
Boy do I wish I had the option of cable vs DSL vs dialup! The cable line ends 1,000 feet from our home and they will extend the line for a mere $10,000 (yes, you read that correctly). For DSL we are to far from town. I even purchased satellite but there was a 10 second lag from the time that you punched in a letter to the time that it appeared on the screen so it was virtually useless for transcription. MQ had told me that I could not do NW acct with dialup 3 yrs ago so I purchased the satellite $500 later after the lag and and service charges and when I told them that I would have to quit they said "Well you can use dialup too". Go figure. Amherst office boo hiss.
Wishing it to slow down
I hope it slows down, I don't even have my house decorated yet. Came back from two days off and had 18 tapes waiting for me. All are average of 25 minutes or so, some longer. Hardly any short ones. I give back 8 and get 6 in return. Thank goodnes have 3 docs taking off starting the 17th and then can breathe. Have had several docs say that hospitals are full right now in Portland and hard getting patients in and getting surgeries scheduled so hospitals are full here too. Guess I will count my blessings.
I was WISHING it would work, lol. Just me and

I've been wishing I could retire since I was still
Sure don't see it in my future, though, unless I win the Lottery, and most times I can't afford to play.
Wishing you a peachy one right back at ya, Rose! :) nm

It's not about a "sense of empowerment". Not wishing to make you look dumb but
it's about expressing your true feelings instead of playing some sort of game when someone says something so incredibly without logic or they don't UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT (as you did) and JUMP TO AN UNFOUNDED CONCLUSION that somehow but telling someone they are not the brightest bulb on the planet and they bore me gives me "sense of empowerment". You been listening to too much psychobabble and did not PAY ATTENTION TO THE CONCEPT OF THE POST.
By the way, I do not feel a "sense of empowerment" after this post to you. I feel that the world is populated by not-so-smart people who don't read well and that is depressing me.
I keep wishing it was a nightmare and I could wake up and everyone in that area was just living and

No - I do not want implants or a mastopexy - I was just wishing for nature to take care of it!
My breasts are of a nice size naturally. I am not vain - underwire bras are fine for me.

Here I sat feeling so incredibly lonely. Wishing I could meet my soul mate
All the men I have ended up with sound like the guy you are with. Takes all the courage I have to pick up and leave them but staying with them destroys my sense of self esteem, my sense of humor, and dulls my passion for life.
Now, sitting here, quietly, sipping a capuccino, sitting in a robe, having no expectations (unrealistic) of me, not having the guy in my world stifling me or doing something out of this world to send my spiraling into my mind trying to figure out what he is thinking ...orrr the always present poor financial state that I always seemed to end up in when with a guy (my dad was alcoholic - had tendency to be with men who had character traits of addictive personality types)and all I can think of is life is passing me by cause I am not with a man.
There are worst things than being alone. Why do I forget this???
Follow your gut. Your kids will thank you. Children deserve a happy mom and you deserve to live the life you envision.
Was going to suggest that you wait to buy as I have a feeling some homes will end up in foreclosure as the interest rate increases and the monthly payments on ARMs and interest only loans increase, but if you have a small town that may not be the case.
Let us know how things go.

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.
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

I have Raynaud's, so I know all about cold hands.
Raynaud's is a fairly common circulatory problem of the capillaries of the fingers and toes. When your hands are cold, look for distal portions of digits that are white compared to the rest of the hand. Treatment for Raynaud's is keeping hands warm. Wear mittens when it is 50 degrees or below. Don't use bare hands in frozen foods.
Transcriptionists who want to protect their precious median nerves AND keep their hands warm use these gloves:

You may actually type faster with them - I do.
Another option is to keep a heating pad on your lap as you work. That's what my dad's secretary used to do in Wisconsin.
Northern Arizona is cold, too

One hand goes cold as ice when typing...??
My right hand goes ice cold when I type all day long. I asked the ortho doctor about this a while back and got a dumb look in response. Anyone have this or have any clues as to what is wrong? That wrist has a ganglion in it. The other hand remains normal temperature.
Thanks!
Yes - cold does kill fleas
it's called WINTER not air conditioning........ROFLMAO! Are you for real?
