intervention
Jenny -- one of my best friends was cross-addicted with alcohol and meth, with a little cocaine in there as well. This is my personal experience and what I learned with interventions and rehab with her: They lie. They tell you what they think you want to hear, and in their head they are already figuring out how to get around it before they are done talking. They get angry and try to put focus/attention on anything but themselves and their addiction. If they get angry, don't take anything they say personal -- often they try to hurt YOU because they are hurting so bad themselves. Most addicts can't see past right now - they can't play out the consequences of their actions in their heads. Don't hold them to any promises or think they will do anything "just for you." They won't. Until they surrender and admit they are not in control, you can really only support, but not enable. My best bit of advice, and this may seem a bit cruel -- but lower your expectations of them and you won't be so personally disappointed and hurt. Then you can be truly joyous if they exceed them. It's a long, hard road to recovery even if you accept help. Hope for, but don't DEPEND on them staying sober the first time through. Meth is particulary difficult to kick. Best of luck to all! I will keep good thoughts for all of you.
Oh, I bet oatmeal, honey and aspirin would be divine!

freudian slip
that should be "trip" but maybe "rrip" is not so far off the mark. LOL
Sales slip?
If you still have the sales slip, you have a good chance of returning it.

It was nothing that I could put my finger on definitely. sm
Keep in mind this was 4-5 years ago though. I paid good money for my McAfee and had it for about a year and then they said they were not going to suppot that version any more and I would have to either upgrade (more expensive) or lose my tech support. So I entered the world of searching for a good AV program.
Other than that, it was a conglomeration of a lot of stuff. I didn't think it was very user friendly (or maybe I just didn't read enough of the tutorial) LOL, but it did not play well with some of my other software I had. It seemed to constantly butt heads with my SpyBot S&D. That being said, it did the job it was supposed to do, which I guess sometimes is all we can expect.
yep - it's the finger using the mouse the most
I have had this problem for so long, been through multiple mice, now on logitech for a couple of years (better but not great). I just live with it - been MTg for 3 decades........hands always hurt too cuz I won't have carpal tunnel surgery or any hand surgery (been there, done that, and never again). Hope you feel better. Advil helps but Advil is not all that good for you for any length of time....

Finger fumbling
Hello all:
I was wondering if maybe some of you might have some pointers for me. I have been doing transcription for almost 3 years, and I have days where I have "fumble fingers." This really gets on my nerves as on the days I have fumble fingers it seems it takes me forever with my documents. I was just wondering if anyone else has days like these? Any ideas on what to do? I can typically type 80-85 words per minute, but when I have finger fumble days, of course it makes me type slower because I am having to continually backspace!!
Thank you :)
Finger stiffness - sm
All the time... I'm only 40 too. It must be contageous!
Has anyone had to work with a booboo finger?
I dropped a tire on my right middle finger last night and ended up in the emergency center. Turns out I crushed the tip of the bone. I have disability, but does anyone know if it's possible to get some kind of supplemental insurance to make up the difference? This is my worst work nightmare, that something might happen to my hands. Can I insure them for, oh a million dollars or so?
It's my right index finger-- tightens up - nm

Right hand/finger tingling
Could be disk in your neck, carpal tunnel or both. I would see your PCP and/or orthopedic doctor and go from there. Collars do help, heat, etc. I have had this pain for years, even after surgery, not a lot of fun. Good luck, hope you get good news that it is none of the above.
Have had stiffness of all of my finger joints....
No pain, just mild stiffness/tingling in the morning that I only feel if I try to make a fist that pretty much lasts all day. Doesn't keep my from transcribing or anything, just wondering if this could be caused by typing all day. I kinda expected to get carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists, but this is strange. Unless this is the first sign of arthritis! I'm only 40!
Anyone experience anything like this? TIA!
Same finger/left hand - many years ago
Somehow got my finger between the panels of my garage door when I was pulling it shut leaving for work. At that time, worked in Radiology Dept.- x-rays showed FX & had it splinted. Believe it or not, went onto work & over the weeks learned how to compensate & "type" without that finger. Actually, had a hard time re-training myself to use that finger after the splint was taken off. Just knew at that time I "had" to work (divorced - 3 kids, no support, etc.) Amazing what you can do when you have to!
I didn't have any hand/finger symptoms either, just
wrist. Using a brace at night helps some. I use the kind that has the metal strip so that you can't bend your wrist. I found them at my drugstore. I had surgery almost 15 years ago and did fine until this past year, and again am developing symptoms. My symptoms developed from writing, not typing, and now I can type usually without problems, but I can only write a tiny bit, can't grip a garden tool for long or do any type of fine motor movement for long and then if I do my wrists hurt so much that typing then bothers me.
I know there is some vitamin regimen to help, though I don't know what it is. I was put on Naprosyn first and was allergic to it. Orthopod suggested hot and cold soaks, 15 minutes each. I had cortisone injections and some other type of injections, and physical therapy. I was only out of work about 3 days, but I wasn't an MT at the time. I do not have the strength in my hand that I used to, but other than that haven't really had any problems. I do have trouble with pain occasionally, can't think of the word, but it feels like the scar is drawing up and I get shooting pains, but I can massage the scar and it eases. I'm considering a job change rather than going through surgery again, not because the surgery was bad, just because not only do I have carpal tunnel, but I have swelling and tingling in my feet, butt spread, etc.
Word of warning - make sure you have an empty bladder before the EMG study. They have to test both sides so they have a comparison and between laying flat, still, and the electrical shocks I couldn't get off that table quick enough to go potty.
Also, if you don't already, get a keyboard tray that is adjustable. You can find them at a woodworking store or in various catalogs. I can position mine at various heights and various angles. I also sometimes lower the tray and put a pillow on it and then my keyboard and it absorbs some of the pressure and using the pillow you don't have an edge from the tray or the wrist pad pressing into you. I also found I sit back in my chair better with the pillow. If this is not comfortable at least try a folded towel between the tray and keyboard.
I wouldn't discourage surgery, but I would try some of the things above first.
I have been experiencing right hand/finger tingling. Could this be

'three-view right ring finger', or

I find most everything in your post to be finger pointing.
You are putting every excuse in the world out there as to why you are not able to do the job you were hired to do.
Sorry to hear about your past but that is NOT why you were FORCED to take a job. You made a CHOICE to take the job.
Yes, it is legal for an employer to ask you to do more than one account. It is NOT abuse but, by the other statements in your post, that you feel everything is someone else's fault.
If the job isn't for you, then go find one that is. The point is that your most profitable work might not be in medical transcription.
roast in mini bites (finger food)
going to cut up one of the bison roasts into bite sized pieces, shake in a bit of flour, and pan-fry nice and slow. It makes such yummy bites! probably have a home-grown salad too...i made some tater soup with left-over brocolli and gr beans for lunch -- we are blessed with too much good food. i need to use some squash too :)
Need help on recipe board please for non-perishable finger foods (sm)
Have been asked to help with an office open house and need recipes for non-perishable "finger" food. Since it is in an office, no appliances available, so anything of this nature will be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Sounds like all the doublespeak inflicted on us at our employee meetings. Finger-pointing, no const
