I was diagnosed with sciatica/piriformis syndrome about a month ago. My physiatrist sent me to physical therapy for Graston therapy and iontophoresis. I was to the point where I had to sleep in my recliner with a heating pad on my hip. Of course, this is the result of sitting for too long......a battle wound common to the medical transcriptionist.

The Graston therapy is pretty painful and you really wonder how it could possibly help. The iontophoresis consisted of a patch with two large circular pads connected by an electrode. The pads are soaked with dexamethasone. The patch is then stuck to the butt for 24 hours. It's painless, except I pulled off a couple of layers of skin when I removed them. I had this done about 5-6 different times over a three-week period. I was also taught some gentle stretches to stretch these muscles, which I haven't been too diligent about doing.

Bottom line is that I completed my PT about two weeks ago and I haven't had any pain since then. I hope you get some relief for your condition. I know how very painful it can be.

She got a job on-site and could be sent home, but she has decided to cross-train for a management position.  If she takes it, the salary is $65,000.00 per year.  So tell me there isn't money in this business.  She just finished her course!!! 

I proof after, but would love to proof during.  I'm working on it.  I'm curious as to what percentage of MTs proof as they go or proof at the end?

Thx for responding.

That was supposed to be "plasma" not what is there.  It should be plasma perox

I meant to say, what is the going rate for EDITING of VR reports .... so sorry! 

You are SO right -- do you believe I never visualized her in an apartment that was anything but covered in SNOW?  Just goes to show you how much I am able to relate to a sunny clime and take vacations there. (Not much.)  So Jodi, by all means, pay heed to the above poster -- who brought me back to the entire United States instead of the cold northeast where I was. 

DUH on my part.  No, he was out at the bars that night (not unusually!!!) and came to the house about 3 a.m.  I said you cannot stay here!!!  (My husband was already gone).  He said can't I just go to sleep?  I said nope, not here!  He said he was going to sleep in his car and I said fine.  I haven't seen him since.  I guess I should have filled you in on that part also. 

As to him getting something out of this, I totally agree that would make sense.  I did talk to his sister about this (as this is something new for us in our 4 marraige) and she says that he has always been like that, wanting to help people out and having a hard time saying no (which that part I have seen).  I don't know.  I asked if they had "something going on" (which I was kidding, that would be a TOTAL SHOCK!!!) and that didn't make him too happy!!  Thank you guys again for all the support.  I truly feel like I am making the right decision and If my husband is going to stick up for a bum, then he is not the man I thought he was and I will be fine!!
