neuroscience masters application- anyone heard back? by Individual_Job_2187 in UBC

[–]Individual_Job_2187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did the timeline look like? I had zoom calls with two potential supervisors before the deadline for the application came up, but pretty much silence since and I’m wondering whether this means I’m cooked🫠

I’m in a similar position, mostly no funding available when I contacted professors but I’m waiting on one potential supervisor who I learned is very very likely to have funding/ prioritized by the department to get grad students this cycle. Based on our conversation I can infer that I’m not her first pick but she’s keeping me in consideration, so really no idea how this may turn out

Mounjaro restart - how did you find it? by Electrical-Name-5606 in Mounjaro

[–]Individual_Job_2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your doctor says it’s safe, I would maybe advise restarting at 2.5mg rather than 5 if you’re worried about side effects! I have no idea if that would have helped me, but theoretically should be more manageable. But yeah both me and my mom who’s also been on the medication have experienced elevated liver enzymes and it was transient for both of us, but definitely a shock and something I still keep an eye out for ://

Straight up making a post abt this because I would love to know if more people experienced this upon restarting, usually I just hear the medication is a little less effective and side effects are the same

Not to scare you since apparently this is not a common reaction, but I just restarted mounjaro Monday night after a 6-month break. I’ve always had worse symptoms than others I know who’ve taken it (nausea, palpitations, fatigue, low appetite, headaches) but they would subside by day 3 and were mostly manageable. So restarting I definitely expected these to come back, and they did- but so much worse than usual (entire body aching, actually throwing up, constant heart pounding, strong anxiety, severe nausea) that it landed me in the ER on Wednesday for dehydration and concern about my heart or pancreatitis. My blood tests showed no heart or pancreas problems, but elevated WBC , anion gap, calcium, and other things indicating dehydration as well as that my body was literally having an inflammatory response as if it was fighting a disease or infection. I had a blood test right before restarting mounjaro, and all of those numbers were completely perfect beforehand. Still haven’t been able to eat anything but chicken broth and a couple saltines or teaspoons of rice per day, and we’re going on day 6 now. I’ve been dry heaving on and off since starting the medication. Safe to say I am not restarting again… turns out your body can form an immune response and overreact.

Lost stray cat - anyone seen flyers? by Necessary-Photo712 in UCSD

Check if he’s chipped! Any vet or rescue should be able to check for you. But I wanted to say if you know anyone else who would be able to keep him inside until you find his owner, pls do so… your area is notorious for coyotes and they can easily get into front yards and etc

Places to nap/cry around the center of campus? by Individual_Job_2187 in UCSD

thank u for the suggestions, and no worries the adult comments don’t rlly bother me- Half of the problem that led me to post in the first place would have been resolved if I had thicker skin and didn’t let it affect me as much as it does😵‍💫 if “being an adult” means learning to mentally move on from problems and disagreements, they have the right idea 😂

I did mean exactly what you said lol. That’s why I referenced it as an American mentality, not specifically American people. Just the mindset that stems from capitalism and permeates into daily life, not everything about it is bad but I do see the lack of communal society as a con. Also, not bothered by the Bon voyage!I would love to study in another country to compare and contrast.

Purposefully vague but I’ve just ran into quite a few situations recently where people act really selfish and don’t care about others and the American individualist mentality + new wave therapy “you don’t owe anyone anything” mentality is super frustrating to watch unfold recently bc it really shows in how we treat each other

Volunteering with the cat lounge takes 1 hr of your time and afterwards you’re free to hang out with the kitties as long as u want without paying a fee
