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
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.
Prevacid/Protonix Reaction. Anyone ever had a reaction to these mediciations? (sm))
My dad was placed on Prevacid/Protonix for chronic Coumadin anaphylaxis and it makes him very agitated or tearful. Anyone ever experience this?
Yes. It is definitely quicker, however, the
red tape, I mean...come on people...We work our $$SES off..
just thought you might get quicker help there
xx
That was my first reaction, too (sm)
But then I thought about it and that he earned the win, why share it? Also, what benefit would it be to her if she constantly had the stigma of the person who really didn't win but had to have a handout? He had a split second decision to make, and he managed to do some impressively quick thinking. I'm not thrilled with donald for putting him on the spot like that. It was Donald's decision, and ultimately Randall will take the blame in most people's minds.
My first reaction was that perhaps the sm
dictator made some corrections and changes to the original report transcribed by you by dictating a partial report somewhere else and that QA "spliced" and corrected the information and you got the whole thing back by mistake. (whew--run-on sentence!).
QA should always initial reports they change.
YW! I had the same reaction....n/m

MTs trying to get a reaction
When people post of their high earnings, I think it is just a ploy to see what others are going to say/react.
It's like when you watch the Suzie Ormond show and this 30-something makes $80K a year, has 300K in their 401K, 20K in savings and owns a house worth 250K.
It makes you wonder how in the H... somebody so young cold have gotten so far head in such a short time in this tough economy????
Take it with a grain of salt. It's not how much you earn, it's how much you spend.
I just crochet them together instead of sewing. It's quicker. -nm

quicker than wildfire if no asnwer
As an American Transcriptionist, how dare they feel they can take our work and our forums....Any one who ever noted how proud and American they are would go fast if not American site anymore. Otherwise a bunch of hypocrites.
His reaction was even funnier.:)

Just someone trying to get a reaction out of people again.

My initial reaction would be the same as yours, but...
then years of guilt trips from my mother and grandmother would kick in and I would probably at least send a gift. Not saying that's what you should do, because I think it takes nerve to blow off your family like she seems to have done and then send invitations to her own shower.
Did you expect this reaction? n/m

Things will go quicker, smoother and with less worries,,,,,,
:p
Naw, not nicer. Moderate just quicker to delete

Ask on Company Board for quicker response.

Buy canned air - much safer, quicker & cleaner!

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! 
As long as it takes to post on here, google came up quicker

You're welcome Tad, you will get quicker answers on the word board
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.
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
That is the most childish reaction I have ever heard. My 10-year-old wouldn't come up with that.
c
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.
They are basically "sister" drugs. I am allergic
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?
Ctrl Z may be quicker than going to the Edit menu. It reverts back to what you typed.

Worse. Far, FAR worse. (no mssg)

Affect is an Action (or psych state)..Effect is a rEaction

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

got one even worse...
18 minutes of dictation = 42 lines! After he spelled out half of the report for me and then said uh, uh, uh between every word, I wanted to scream.
It could be worse, but
MTs are hard to come by, especially good ones. Take a look at the jobs offerings, you don't have to sit back and take it. I would suggest you go turn on the news for a while and picture yourself in someone else's shoes. You have no reason to complain because you have options.
Believe me..it gets worse..(sm)
I live in Kansas...and top-out pay for the hospital here in this rinky dink town is $8.46 an hour....yes ladies and gents...clean up the coffee you just spit all over your screen...I said $8.46 an hour. I have to work for a national to get more competetive pay because it's sure not going to come from this area! 
Yes, she is usually MUCH worse
nm
Yes and yes...what's worse
I don't know if they still are, as I haven't watched in the last few weeks, but on Guiding Light, Tammy, who is Cassie's daughter, is in love with and dating Johnathan, Reva's son. Well, Cassie and Reva are sisters...so that makes Tammy and Johnathan cousins.....talk about GROSS!!!!!
OR WORSE
USE YOUR IMAGINATION, AND I HEARD IT. Doctor was not alone.
What's even worse...
It having reporters who consistently can't get one thing right. I'm the administrative/performance head of an Irish dance school in a fairly large community, and every article the local paper has done on the school has been, well...fiction! You give them fact, and they turn it into something that doesn't even vaguely resemble the truth.
Having taken journalism in college, I remember the adage "truth in reporting." And let's think about "fact checking."
Seems it doesn't exist any longer.
Though it is at the expense of the school, I no longer want our achievements butchered into fiction by the local rag.
Worse.
:(
For better or worse....
I'm not afraid to leave blanks. I will try my hardest to figure out what they are saying, but if I can't even figure out a "sounds like", I don't see the point in driving myself crazy.
Definitely WORSE!
Can't stand Barbara and her scrunched up face that doesn't move. The football player's wife is extremely boring and never has anything interesting to say. Joy is okay although she can be obnoxious at times and just can't make the show by herself. Definitely don't want to watch Rosie. The mere sound of her voice gets on my nerves, not to mention I don't like anything about her.
What is even worse
is when you are being paid 3 or 4 cpl to edit a voice recognition report like the one you described. After editing VR reports for the last few years, I have come to the conclusion that, unless the MT is on a creampuff account, VR is not a big money maker for the transcriptionist. The transcription companies are the ones who benefit from VR. They charge the client for regular lines, but only pay the MT half the amount to edit the report, even if the MT ends up having to retype half of the report.
Lol.. oh man. which one is worse
I guess I'll take Sanjaya... or I like to call him Escalito. He reminds me of Jack's Black's sidekick in Nacho Libre.
Worse day ever
I feel awful today. While transcribing using my C-phone and word..we had a power surge where the electricity shut off for only like a minute. I was at the end of my report and thought it was saved...when the power came back on the job was off of my phone and I just went ahead and transcribed everything but my last job...had written down all my demographic info for my records and just glanced in my to send folder to see that the job was missing!!!
Once a job is off of my C-phone, even dialing back into the system and selected by job number will not allow you access to the report. I was so upset that then on top of all of this I accidentally popped my last job out of my que without transcribing it
I feel so terrible!! I'm still in training too, probably gonna get canned for this!! I really needed the job and have spent so many off hours logging QA reports, saving templates, making shortcuts, etc!!! I wish this account had a way to retrieve a previously transcribed report, especially for the Transcriptionist it was assigned to....has this ever happened to any of you? I haven't been on an account before that you can't retrieve a voicefile...I feel really awful..overall I love the account and was really doing well...
Thanks for letting me vent.
