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.
memory foam mattress pad
The memory foam mattress pads are the greatest! I have never enjoyed such comfortable sleep.
Try covering with mayonaise and letting sit...
for a few hours/over night; then wipe off. 
Amen, but you forgot covering the mic with
their mouths or collar or whatever they are covering it with, or not knowing how to pronounce drugs that they prescribe! and no knowledge of the English language as in something simple like pleurals or singulars, or did speak instead of the word *spoke*, etc.  Drives me NUTS!  Right with you on this one sista!
I changed my pillow to a memory foam and
that has reduced my neck pains and headaches a lot. I also have a memory foam neck pillow I bought at Wal-Mart.
I made a little foam heel rest so I can have my shoes off
otherwise, can't feel the peddle.
I have a TempurPedic memory foam adjustable. It is wonderful
if you are having a bad day at the desk and want to put your feet up and work.  The foot pedal stays with the foot elevated.  Best night's sleep I ever had. 
Thanks for the ideas. Someone really should create a foam rubber keyboard!

Geez this, you should apologize because the innuendo was there. Nice try at covering yourself tho.

I agree with GATrans below. Don't trust him. He may be covering his own rear end. Either he

gives you the number and lets you do with it what you will or he loses your trust.  It could be that he is making this whole story up to cover up the fact that this woman may call again on his cell phone.  Men are snakes at times.  Don't be a fool.  My ex-husband was calling his girlfriend on our cell phone and telling me that it was the number of a woman who had a van for sale.  He was in the used car business so it was a plausible explanation.  Too bad for him that I have a suspicious nature, wrote the number down and kept it for posterity.  A few weeks later my husband's friend (who's wife was a friend of the girlfriend) called from this number and it showed on my caller id.  Too much of a conincidence for me.  Maybe your husband is honest Abe and you trust him completely, but there is no such thing as perfect, and most women whose husbands have had affairs, never saw it coming.  You can call me a cynic, but I'll never be a fool again and I hate to see other women be fooled.


And don't listen to the Pollyannas below you telling you that you are overreacting and that you should calm down.  Utter nonsense.  You have every right to be angry.  You have every right to want that person's phone number and to call her telling her to never call again.  And, if I were you, I'd be calling this friend of your husband's and letting him know what you think of him and threaten to tell his wife.  The friend has no respect of his wife or marriage and so you can bet he has no respect for you or yours.  Who cares if your husband loses him as a friend.  He doesn't really need friends like that anyway!


Marriage is hard and you have to fight to keep it going.  So fight.


No, they didn't. Just the tape covering that I had thrown out when I first opened them.. NM

Mothers covering for childless women? Don't make me laugh!! nm

We bought a 2 2/1 inch memory foam topper and cannot live without it now! AWESOME

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! 


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.
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
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?
his next allergic reaction will be quicker and worse.
get thee to an allergist.
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.
I knew him well before I asked him out, so I knew
a long time before our first date that he was the one for me. He didn't know it that soon, but I did.
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

I knew it had to be you! - sm
Sorry you are having trouble and I hope it is fixed soon!  Don't work too hard!
Of course she knew that (sm)
She obviously hasn't had her own medication today.
What about it? We already knew about that..
huh?
See? You knew someone would ask... sm
I try to be concise too, but sometimes you just gotta throw it all in there.

Your reasons are totally justified and I figured they were just by the tone of your post, but for future reference we need ALL THE FACTS!! LOL

Have fun, sweetie!
I knew almost right away

I'd say it was at the very early stages of our relationship that I started to realize that i could marry him.. then I kept telling myself "what are you nutz? you barely know this guy! stop thinking that!! LOL


But now looking back, there was some kind of "special spark" that was there & that was unique from any other experience. We both remember when we first (very briefly) met. We didnt actually start talking and getting to know each other until about 5 months after that. Then when we started talking/dating, it was like we had known each other for yrs, we were just immediately comfortable with each other & had this "chemistry".


it was great, it still is great, i hope it stays great!!


 


Wish I knew

Um, I knew when I was 5.
and no one did a thing to me. Gosh, there goes your theory! Sorry 'bout that.
I knew there was something about the IBM M15

Maybe the folks at Clickykeyboards.com could give you some leads on where to get it repaired, if not the other site I posted above. 


Once again, good luck! 


I knew it!!!
I "frickin" knew you meant that how I took it! Yay! Another fan! Got my laugh for the night! Thanks!
If you knew then what you know now....
I've been an MT now for almost 10 years.  I don't know about you but I didn't really give MT a lot of thought before I decided to get into this business.  It seemed like a good way to go with my typing skills and interest in the medical field.  Plus it sort of "fell into my lap" with an opportunity that was too good to pass up.  So I plunged in and starting learning what I needed to get started and took it from there.  Wow, what a long journey and I'm still learning new things all the time.  Looking back I really don't think I would have gone into this field had I known all the blood, sweat and tears required just in order to get started, not to mention even now keeping things going day to day.  I am honestly glad I did stick with it because it has worked very well for my family situation over the years.  Some days I am fed up with it but it has so many other benefits that outweigh the negatives.  So, I keep sticking with it and keep going day to day.  How about you?  If you knew then how hard it would be would you have run the other way?  I know I probably would have but I am glad I didn't have a clue and kept plugging away. 
Wow! I never knew that, though we have
spoken many times. I had no idea you - disallowed - offshore MTs to post here? That is really sad to me, but I'm glad I know now. Your 100% right as owner of the board, but also my choice to now not be a part of something like that. Thanks for sharing.
WOW - I never knew that

thanks - I already knew that....*L*...sm

but because of what you said, I went back in to windows update and told it to let me know when they are available and not to download or install them until I say it's okay. 


oh well, looky looky - Windows update is trying to install IE7 - so you're incorrect I do believe:

Thanks so much..just knew there had to be a way! nm

I knew right away because I keep

my TV on (in another room) and just happened to be getting a drink of water when the first one hit. I immediately called the hospital I work for and they told me to keep them informed. Well, I could barely tear myself away from the TV that day. Thank heavens, my hospital was very understanding. I reported every time something happened which, on that day, was about every half hour.


I also had scanners in my office and would inform the hospital MTs when the ER was diverting patients, or if there was a bad accident or fire, so they would get a heads up for STAT work coming their way. It worked out well.


I couldn't work without noise of some type. With the job I have now, I only have the TV on but not the scanners anymore. I listen to the traffic reports as my husband works 60 miles away and needs that info if traffic is tied up on his route to or from work.


 


I knew somebody who
went to a dermatologist for it. The dermatologist gave her injections into the scalp. I believe it was prednisone or something like that.

I remember going to school with somebody who had a patch on the side of his head that he'd had since he was very little. It didn't show as long as he didn't get his hair cut short.
Yes, I knew that because
I have searched for medical-related terms before and got responses from where someone else had asked the same thing on here!
Never knew that.

That set-up sounds so simple and cost-effective as well.  I didn't know you used steno pads.  The carbon paper would terrify me, though! 


 


I knew it!!!!

So really, the only GOOD JOBS out there are for Newbies or Indians!!!! 


 


Great. 


I have learned something!! I never knew this was possible!
I've always thought liquids damaged/ruined keyboards, but I guess I was wrong. What a good idea you all have!!
Wow, I never knew that existed!
At least you were spared 35 or more years of that "monthly" stuff!!!
This is exactly when I knew it was time to
I found myself losing my social skills and having nothing to talk about to my husband when he got home.

Time to move on and be back in society. I'm much happier and feel like an interesting conversationalist again.
