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.
his next allergic reaction will be quicker and worse.
get thee to an allergist.
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?


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.
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

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! 


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.

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?
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
