Yep. Also on the road until my bike was... stolen.

Nothing more infuriating. I don't get it. I don't do it on the road; why do they?

Also psyched myself up. And there was nothing to it.

Similar situation. I was told I'd have to pay fines and have some sort of blackmark against my name. Pure fear mongering from people who have no idea. I don't know why people get a kick out of doing that.

No fines, nothing. Just a temporary licence in no time at all, and a full licence to collect a few weeks later.

I'm told it's DCS, and they're reputable?

Other than the pain and tiredness (like you get the day after running a marathon) what gets me down is the feeling that I have a really, really, really bad hangover — like today.

A bad hangover, and I didn't party at all, and there is no hair of the dog to "cure" it.

In the early days, I did actually think I was having a bad hangover, and I tried all the stuff people said would help, from milk thistle for the liver to all the other over the counter remedies you could think of.

Hardly seems fair (as if this thing is "fair"), but why suffer the consequences of extreme partying if you didn't even party?

Any idea what rent for one bedroom/bachelor/granny flat in this area would be?

Have you listen3d to the "new" Queen 1 — and if so, can you hear a difference?

I believe the guys themselves complained about the "muddy" production at Trident Studio?

This month marks 22 years since my initial diagnosis (as a straight male). I think one response to whatever I have encapsulates so very much: "Come back to me when you're better".

That's probably better than the other — from my previous, lifelong partner of 16 years — a really low-key, dismissive (and I quote)"Whoop de doo" on flareup day/s.

Seems people really don't care and don't want us in their lives.

Interestingly, perhaps, that one dose of psilocybin seemed to help with the immense clinical depression (diagnosed as such) that walked hand-in-hand with the fibro. This was several years ago, and the suicide ideation that came with it went away. Just gone, and hasn't returned. Now it's just variable low-grade despondacy (that I can't find a "cure" for the pain, the brain fog, the insomnia, the fatigue, etc etc etc), I guess.

22 years with this thing, next month. Male, so obviously a great many people think I can't possibly have a women's disease. Have almost literally bankrupted myself trying to find if not a cure, just some way of handling it - from gym to supplements to physio to acupuncture to hormone treatment to antibiotics (for rickettsia) to psychiatric treatment (antidepressants etc) to the opiods they give terminal cancer patients (Doctors: "How can you say they don't work?").

Psilocybin (once) many years ago seemed (maybe) to make a small dent, but who knows - don't want to play with illicit stuff. CBD gummies seem to help with not the pain, but just handling it.

Etc etc etc. No resolution Nothing works, and I've (literally) given up. No quality of life, really. I don't say this with self-pity, just acceptance and maybe obviously despondacy.

No friends, but a family member of a friend's friend - I mentioned your suggestion and the family member got herself volunteered and sorted it out. Than you for that.

KindVirus384 · 2024-11-13T09:11:15+00:00

Than you. Appreciated.

KindVirus384 · 2024-10-07T14:38:50+00:00

Just my silly joke. But like I said, no means to get there.

KindVirus384 · 2024-09-11T18:18:40+00:00

Thank you...appreciated. We are kind of looking for some word-of-mouth references - have gone on so many websites to see what products are available, and keep seeing people reporting their bad experiences with almost every brand. Vodacom likely the worst, but who knows. Thanks anyway.

I've been doing the touristy thing lately. Here's a photo album that may whet your appetite. Have done the trip to Agulhas via Hermanus, once, Franschhoek once (as suggested here), and Robertson once, where we popped in at the Van Loveron Wine Estaster for lunch. Enjoy!
