for those using ergo gloves for support

Apparently they are fingerless gloves made of something called Med-a-Likra. Supposedly they "massage" your wrists as you work. They just look like Isotoner gloves. I was hoping someone has used these and has an opinion on them before I shell out the 20 bux. Thanks! :) ...

I have a two-fold question here. Has anyone tried the arthritis gloves from transcripotion gear that are designed to keep your hands warm in the winter (sorry to say that awful word but it is coming), and the stiffness when I am cold is very hard to take in terms of speed and loosening up. Second fold, has anyone tried the mechanical keyboards? The ones that area not the "soft touch" and actually make a clicking sound? The only ones I am finding are ones for "gamers" ...

Found this on transcrpitiongear.com (I have ordered equipment from them before and been happy with all purchases) and was wondering if it worked well but no reviews on it yet. The descriptions says: "ergoBeads™ are like no other wrist rests or stress balls. Ergonomically designed by an orthopedic surgeon, ergoBeads™ provide optimal comfort for your wrists and hands. Made of cotton Lycra, they are soft and cool against your skin. The smooth plastic bead filling gently sup ...

I was wondering if anyone has tried either the Kinesis contoured, Kinesis Freestyle, Goldtouch, or SafeType keyboards. I am using a Microsoft ergo split keyboard now, but I am having more and more pain and numb/weird feelings in my arms and hands. It's getting to the point where I am having a lot of difficulty typing. I definitely need to invest in a more high-end ergo keyboard, but they are quite expensive and I am not sure which one would be best. Just looking for any experiences and pro ...

I am starting to have a lot of difficulty with my hands after 24 years of transcribing. I wake up all night long with pain and tingling in my fingers. I am pretty sure I have carpal tunnel. Does anybody wear gloves while they are working to help with carpal tunnel? If so, what kind and where do you get them? TIA ...

Fourth time I've tried to send this post. Apparently it only works in text mode - not rich text mode. I'm trying to identify the fingerless gloves that have 2 wrist pads to protect the median nerve. Does anyone know the name of these gloves??? Thanks! ...

If you have carpal tunnel or just want to prevent it, get some SoftFlex computer gloves (available on Amazon for about $27.00). Webmedx back when they were still wonderful sent me mine for Christmas in about 2006. Comfortable to type in and really help to support your wrists. ...

I know they have sales from time to time...do any of you know of a great sale that you can share with me? I really would love to have an ergonomic keyboard again. I used to have a Microsoft one that I loved years ago...but sadly my son spilled pop on it and I never replaced it. Thank for letting me know! Felicia ...

I suffer from terribly cold fingers when I am typing. My mom suggested compression gloves. Has anyone ever tried them?Right now I am running a spaceheater pointed at my hands and I am still having to take breaks to warm them up. ...

Getting ready to buy a new keyboard and trying to decide between these 2 models. Has anyone used both and can compare them? Does the CC 3000 really provide relief for the wrists? I've heard good things about the 4000 but it looks so...LARGE, lol! Any input appreciated before I click the "buy it now" feature! ...

For surgical scrotal support, doctor says " a scrotal supportee was left in place." I have googled this, looked in Stedmans GI/GU, surgical and equipment books. Cannot find. I would like to think scrotal supporting, but she definitely says "a". Has anyone heard of this? Thanks. ...

I have been out of MTing for about 1.5 years now mainly because of lack of cash flow and work issues....haha..i am working for a local hospital in the laundry area..which i completely and utterly HATE... i am having difficulties with my coworkers and being used to working alone..i tend to say what i am thinking out loud rude or not at times and it is getting me in trouble not a lot but enough...all the chit chat about one another and gossiping is driving me insane...i do see that there aren' ...

In the process of "the merge," I spent more than 2 hours on the phone with 2 support guys and one advanced support guy, before they could figure out what the problem was. This was unreimbursed time in the evening - MY time. The guy I walked with before the advanced support guy, who was logged on to my computer (MY computer, not MQ's) asked me for my password. This guy was snippy and sarcastic, and I wasn't happy giving him my password, but since I needed the ...

I was all set to just quit MQ this past weekend, I had just had enough, even though I don't have another job yet, but am finishing my courses, which I am almost done with. But my husband got upset about being the only breadwinner and dipping into the savings. I can't get him to understand what I have to go through. I keep hoping they will just fire me or lay me off so I can get unemployment, but so far nothing, even though I'm certainly not turning in the work I ...

Ok I have a question for any of you who have been in the field for a while or even new to the field like myself. I have just finished training recently and I have been searching for a job and I was offered a contract postion at a decent little company(*Name withheld) which I am in the process of considering, however I am hearing that this company is thinking of not offering full time tech support and expecting me to install and configure my own software and if I have a problem with my install th ...

as an MT with only my income. I live at a place where I don't have to pay any household bills right now. But I want to move out. It's not a good place for me to be living. I plan to get an apartment in about 5 months. I am just scared I won't be able to support myself. i can get an apartment for about $400 to 700 dollars. Along with groceries, cable/internet, and utilities, I'm just unsure. I guess I'm looking for advice/reasurance from MTs who support themselves ...

Has anyone been able to get support to pick up the phone to let us know how long DQS will be down? ...

My first post here. I've been doing this too long, in deep pain every day I work. Financially struggling. Just some comfort knowing others can understand. I've been doing this so long, I have lost faith in my ability to try anything else, ya know. Anyone relate? Blessings. ...

I called support, and now it says you can be transferred to an International. Well, guess what I got..... I was on hold several times, because he had to look up my "file." In the end he was not able to help me. Told me to call my TSM. Then I looked at the confirmation email they send out with the summary fo the "incident" and the grammar is horrific. What happens if you work night shift, you know you will get International, because their afternoon is our night. Tha ...

Had the occasion to call tech support this a.m. I found them to be quite helpful and extremely fast in solving my problem. Great experience. I was impressed with their manners and speed. ...

Since MM bought out my company a few years ago, I have lived every day in fear...fear of audits, fear of pay cuts, fear of getting fired. I'm a single parent, and this job is all I have to keep food on the table, pay my bills, and take care of my kids. I enrolled in an online course a few months ago, which is somewhat empowering, but I can't shake this morbid fear of losing my job right now. I know there are other jobs out there, and believe me, I have looked, but the ...

It is really terrible when you come to the board to make a comment someone always has to say something negative-sometimes we are only looking for support from fellow MTs. I do not understand why there is always so much backlash. If you do not have anything good to stay keep your comments to yourself. Life can be hard enough. When the table is turned hopefully there will be someone there to lend an ear and a kind word when it is needed. ...

I sent them an inquiry about a problem I'm having and they sent me back ... get this ... instructions on how to send them an inquiry. These people are less than useless. Maybe they sent support to India along with our jobs. ...

Sheesh. It is obvious they think we have the IQ of a 5-year-old and need to be told the same thing multiple times in case we didn't read it the first 3 times. ...
