I do! I usually get mine at The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works. Thanks for posting that link. Do

You can pull up like you are lifting a
weight and also pull outward like you are working on shoulder muscles and pecs (typical gym exercise). Do about 8 reps (or more)of each every hour. Exercising these muscles is cumulative but the important thing is to be consistent, i.e. every day. It's so easy to forget for a couple of days and then the pain returns. Being MTs we need to be mindful of our bodies. Our minds are always getting a workout but our bodies seem to suffer. We need to be warriors of mind and body to be balanced and then our performance and productivity improves also.
Thanks! Coffee helped! The cloud is lifting...
I'm sorry I got confused about AAMT versus BOS, etc. I have heard that some companies don't touch it, but I guess I just have the luck of running into the ones who use it exclusively. I only ran into it when job hunting, but since use it all the time. If a company does use it exclusively, it is nice having everything in one easy reference. I hate all the exceptions and different rules...Sorry if I misinterpreted. Have a good one!
Wanting encouraging, up-lifting friends who
make me a bad person. Sometimes it is better to be a friend who stands firm in believe MT can help herself than to be a bleeding heart that just keeps MT down by agreeing nothing can change, the situation will always be hard and why try to change it. If I was in a bad place, I would need friends to help me be brave and do what I had to do to change things.
It is her body, but now there is ANOTHER body inside of her. sm
Right now I counsel pregnant teens as I had 2 myself and regret that decision every single day of my life. I've learned over the years that God has forgiven me and that my 2 babies are waiting for me, but the guilt and shame that this decision ultimately brings isn't worth it. Besides, that baby sooo deserves a chance at life, love, and laughter. Don't you agree?
I agree with Ronald Reagan: I am Pro Choice - if the baby has a choice, then I am pro choice.
Exercise isn't the issue here, him lifting leg in house is. Bye, Bye, Pooch, pack your bags.nm

wow, you'd think your arms would
Has anyone tried this?
Are you able to rest your arms?
Maybe arm rests? They helped me for a while until I started getting carpal tunnel symptoms from not having my hands properly positioned (due to resting my elbows on my arm rests). Needless to say, got rid of the arm rests and after a while, the pain just went away (both in wrists/hands and shoulders/back). However, I do have quite severe knots if you ever feel my shoulders :)
How many of you transcribe with your arms on armrests? nm

You need a better chair with adjustable arms.

Need some help. Weird stuff on my son's arms. sm
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before. It's just too weird and I have worked for doctors (mostly general practice) for 20 years.
My son is 20 and he has these really weird looking discolorations on his left arm. They are flat, pink, scattered and in many different dimensions from the size of a pencil eraser to an actual small squares. They are not raised, don't itch or hurt, but they've just been appearing slowly and are now covering more areas of the arm.
He works in a kitchen at a nursing home, but the spots appeared before he got this job. The nursing home said he needs to have this checked out before he comes back to work on Tuesday (he has tomorrow off).
Rundown on his health history is that he is asthmatic (not enough to be on meds)and coughs a lot. Unfortunately, he is a very heavy smoker and I've been trying to get him to stop. He has cut down, because he's living at our house now and smoking is outside. He doesn't cough as much, but still coughs a lot.
He is 6 foot 4 inches and weighs 135 lbs. He eats constantly and never gains weight, but he's been like this since he was in grade school. He has a confirmed diagnosis of thalassemia and also has symptoms of what may be Marfan's Syndrome.
One last thing is that he had months of unprotected sex with a girl he was in love with until he found out that he wasn't the only one she was sleeping with, so he left her and moved back home for the time being.
Any ideas would be helpful.
weird stuff on son's arms
I think you need to go to the doctor with your son in the morning -- mostly because you will understand more about what the doctor is saying (because you've been typing this stuff for so long), you'll be able to ask the right questions and be sure it's not passed off as dermatitis which it most certainly is not.
Good luck - let us know.
pityriasis rosea would not be on arms
It only goes all over your trunk. I had it on front and back.
Visualize each hug...parentheses are arms:-)
top of "each" arm or tops of both arms.

Yikes! He had the "saggiest" upper arms I

I'm rooting for 1 top for 2 arms, singular/pleural.

I've always been partial to a chair with arms
and I'm not sure why. I don't know where people put their arms with no arm rests. Would that cause shoulder tiredness? I don't have an idea for a new one, but I sure need one! 
Joint Pain in Arms/Hands/Shoulders
I am just going to relate this story for what it is worth to someone else.
In 2001 I began having problems with my left hand, arm and shoulder. Orthopedist thought it may be the beginnings of carpal tunnel but EMG was neg. It was bad enuf that at times I couldn't pick stuff up and it hurt to type. It waned and waxed. A few years later I began having problems with my hands and the joints in my fingers hurting, along with left shoulder pain. My hands were so bad I could not open a jar at times. Eventually I went to a rheumatologist who told me that I had no visible signs of severe arthritis. All MDs, incl. orthopedist and rheumatologist recommended trying Celebrex, aspirin, etc. The regular stuff. I was resigned to early arthritis like my mother.
Well, one day in late 2004/early 2005 I decide to see a chiropractor for my shoulder because I'd had electro therapy for an injury years ago and thought maybe this would help. I had some adjustments and electro therapy on my shoulder.
I want to tell you -- ALL and EVERY pain in my fingers left and never came back. ALL and EVERY pain running from shoulder to hand stopped. It had to have been some sort of pinched nerve.
Not a single MD had even suggested seeing a chiropractor. And had it not been for my shoulder and my past experience, I never would have thought of it and would still be suffering, possibly with even further damage to the nerve by now.
The few I've done use the robot arms as extra hands &

I like a chair with arms, deep seat and high back (sm)
so I bought a leather chair from Costco about a year ago and have never regretted it. Think it is made by Lane. It was a little expensive but since I'm in it for hours a day - sometimes 12 - I figure it was an important investment... plus it is so good looking we often wheel into other parts of house when we need extra seating :)
I wedge a small pillow between me and the armrest on each side for my arms to rest on.

You and me both. I want my old body

I don't know why any body would
...or financial advice and listing the amounts of their debts and other very personal issues. Each time I read such posts, I am amazed and shocked that people would do this.
body art
saw it in Philly; awesome!
No body issue
Yep, it has been done, next state over, young girl named Carrie Culbertson, missing now for close to 6 yrs?

There are still body stresses.
Physically, the stresses are still the same, the sitting, and while you do not have all the heavy keyboarding, you still have neck, arm, leg swelling, back hurting, and all the little things that just go naturally with sitting at a computer all day. Your tendinitis should improve, however!

all preached out already ms, busy body MT?
NOT!
executive body scan???
Could this be correct? Outcoming being discovery of gallstones.
Even the ones with the body for it should show a little modesty.

Stop and think MTBusy-body
A professional company, well organized, will have the specs on the accounts UP FRONT, on file, before you start the account. Did you not stop to think about that? If you are going to come down on the girl, come down on the company, where the problem begins. A well organized company has the specs on file, gives the preferences of the particular client and does not waste time sending preferences piecemeal. Geesh, did you not think of that?
start with the inside of your body
and drink a lot of water. The rule of thumb is 6 oz per pound of body weight.
Exactly- my brother is an ex body builder
and certainly very masculine, but he gets a pedicure every month - his wife is all for it (you know how those hooves can get, guys! LOL), whitens his teeth, highlights his hair, and shaves his entire body (left over behavior from body building days, no doubt).
Is anyone out there that is heavy truly comfortable with their body? sm
I have had a struggle with weight my entire life. As we speak now I am on Weight Watchers. I don't want to be model thin because I know that is never happening and some people aren't made to be that way. I am tall, an inch from being 6'. Before when I look at pictures I am thinking "Hey, I was not so bad. I DID carry my weight well." But during those times I thought I was horrible. Now, just topped the scale to 300 and I am scared to death! In the past year, since working from home and being depressed, I have put on an easily 50 lbs. I weigh more than I weighed with being 9 months pregnant with my son.
Anyway, I know for my health I need to get my weight down. But the question is - if you are heavy, how do you feel good about yourself and your body, enough to let that stress go so you can focus on other things in life? This consumes my every thought. Sometimes I think I need to see a psychiatrist to get this matter resolved.
I pray daily and ask God to help. I feel if I can learn to have a better self image of myself that I CAN conquer this goal and lose the weight.
Tips please....I don't look at other heavy women as ugly and fat. A lot of people I couldn't imagine being thin, yet they look great! I just wish I could picture myself that way.
BTW - in the almost 6 years my husband and I have been married, he has NEVER seen my naked, even when I wasn't so heavy. It is always "give me the covers, turn out the lights" and never intimate without clothes on. I want real intimacy. I want to feel good about myself. How do I achieve this while in the process of losing weight?
Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families. 
Couldnt they just run a magnet up his body

No busy-body MT, just somebody who has your and dano's number.
And kill one of your screen names. You have been outed.
Don't be so quick to judge others by yourself busy-body MT!
No joke.
PS: Where do you get the TIME IN your busy schedule to prepare essays and lectures to MTs what with your "busy" MTing and getting degrees etc? How's dano? She seemed to back you up with essays also. Same hahaha. Worn out?
jokes on you busy-body MT. hahaha.
really can we get someone to look into busy MT's background before she receives one more report to transcribe regarding her unfortunate habit of psychopathic lying and associated protesting too much on MT boards? Who knows what lurks IN this deviant mind?
I also love to get nice body lotion
or bubble bath or great smelling candles are always good.

I takes at least 1 week for the anesthesia to get out of your body. sm
It will take another 3-4 weeks to get your energy back and at least a full 6 months to 1 year to feel back to normal, whatever normal means?.
I has been 11 months for me now, and I am still tired more often than not.
I was up and moving around and taking long walks after the 2 week though. Back to work in 2-3 weeks. I had abdominal hysterectomy, so it may depend on whether you had abdominal or laparoscopic.
They say, lap-hys is better on the body and you are back to normal faster.
Hope this helps.
Head tired, body anxious
Anybody else have symptoms where your head is tired, but your body is anxious? At night it is the opposite, my head keeps running, but my body is tired. I find it hard to focus on work, but if I take anything to help me concentrate, i.e., Adderrall, then I feel all my muscles tense up and my heart beat faster. Its driving me nuts. Anybody else have this problem and have a remedy? Thanks!
Any body know of a family practice hiring PT..
I am currently working full time doing hospital work but things are slow all around for everybody. I was hoping to find a small acct to supplement on a perm. basis. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to this board so I hope it was okay to ask here.
i wouldn't dare disfigure my body that way.
happy valentine's day to you too, though!!!!
Every person's body is different and heals at a different rate.
You could be back in 5 days or 30 days. It depends on how your body handles it.
I was back in 4 days after my first C-Section - I was out of bed the same night of surgery, walking around the halls, and home in 2 days. The woman next to me was in bed for 2 days moaning and complaining the whole time.
So, as you can see, everyone is different. Good luck to you.
It is her body...however, the life insider her does not belong to her!
God blessed her with this child and now she needs to find out why. If she is not ready for this then thats her decision but there are other options out there. Abortion is unexceptable birth control. Maybe by taking your niece to an alternative to abortion pregnancy center (family.org has an abundance of info) they can give her all the information she needs to make the best decision not a blind decision. I will pray for your situation. Please keep us posted!
