Dragon NaturallySpeaking: How to scroll with speech recognition

Scrolling is quite a common task in any computing work. Dragon NaturallySpeaking provides the following commands to allow you to scroll with speech recognition:

"Scroll down": scrolls to the bottom of the page
"Scroll up": scrolls to the top of the page
"Start scrolling up": start scrolling up . The speed can be adjusted
"Start scrolling down" : start scrolling down. The speed can be adjusted
"Scroll slower" : reduce the speed of scrolling. Repeating the command will reduce the speed every time the command is spoken
"Scroll faster" : increase the speed of scrolling. Repeating the command will increase the speed every time the command is spoken

As you can see, the commands are pretty obvious. However, it took me some time to realise that the speed of scrolling can be altered and it changes repeatedly if the command is repeated.

I have made a YouTube video demonstrating this.

Chronic pain management with Thermotex infrared heating pad

Thermotex infrared heating pad has been one of my purchases that have helped me a lot in dealing with my chronic pain due to fibromyalgia. Over the course of the past 10 years that I have owned this, I have given it to friends and family to help reduce the pain due to shoulder injury knee and abdominal pain. I have made a YouTube video as a review for this below. I hope you find this useful. The only shortcoming that I have seen is that I cannot wrap it around the shoulder. So if you come across an infrared heating pad which can be wrapped around the neck and shoulders, please do share in the comments below.

Reduce finger, wrist and forearm pain due to computer mouse usage with Gentle Mouse

If you are reading this on a computer screen, chances are that you would have clicked your mouse at least a couple of times to navigate through this content. And in most cases, the finger used to click would be your index finger. Now imagine doing this repetitive movement every few minutes, day after day, year after year and you can easily infer that your fingers are at an increased risk of repetitive stress injury (or RSI) due to mouse overuse. The common name given to this painful condition is Mouse Finger . The 'Finger' in Mouse Finger usually leads a person to believe that the pain is restricted to the fingers alone. However, from what I have surmised after reviewing anecdotal evidence and medical literature, it commonly presents as a cluster of symptoms in the finger, wrist and the forearm. Perhaps that explains why there are no easily available research studies pertaining to Mouse Finger alone. Most of the research studies consider these symptoms as a part of

Chronic pain : Tools of trade

Over the course of several years that I've spent in dealing with chronic pain, I have discovered a number of items that helped to reduce the pain and keep me functional. Here is a list of 10 items that I use frequently : Thermotex infrared heating pad . ( Video review ) I have used this since 2007 and it is still working very well. At the time I bought this, I thought it was pretty expensive. Now that it has been 9 years and the pad really reduced the need of pain medication on several occasions, I think it has paid for the investment several times over . I have mainly used it for abdominal muscular pain. There were times that I have wrapped it around the abdomen and slept at night. The main advantage of infrared is that it penetrates deeper and does not heat up the skin like a conventional heating pad. A good side effect of using it on the abdomen is that it reduces my tendency for constipation . It is also been very useful whenever I had any pathology n the rectum like an
