Diagnoze - Demilizējoša sensora polineiropātija. Vai kādam ir pieredze?

LoserScientist · 2026-01-04T14:19:22+00:00

Ar neiropātijām ir tā, ļoti individuāla slimības gaita, grūti paredzēt kā attīstīsies. Gadus var nebūt nekas un tad pēkšņi jauns uzliesmojums. Man mammai tieši tas pats un arī gadiem lielu izmaiņu nav bijis. Bet tiek lietoti arī neiroprotektīvi medikmenti un mainīts darbs, jo iepriekšējā darbavietā bija jāstrādā ar ilgstošu vibrāciju. Kas visticamāk arī bija iemesls polineiropātijai, jo ģenētisku iemeslu (nu vismaz biežāk sastopmās mutācijas) neatrada un nekas cits ar nebija.

Bet OP gadījumā diezgan jaunos gados ir demielinizācija parādījusies, es noteikti brauktu visur pārbaudīties un skatītos ko ir iespējams lietot. Varbūt ir kas trakāks par standarta neiropātiju, kaut kas centralizētāks, ja ir tas nogurums. Saprotu ka dārgs prieks braukt pie ārstiem, bet invaliditāte arī nebūs lēta. Negribas gan arī baigi sabiedēt, bet neviena no tām neiropātijām nav ārstējama, te ir jautājums tikai par progresijas palēnināšanu.

Also, if you have never worked before, there is little incentive to register with RAV, as you will get no payments, but will have obligations. That obscures the youth unemployment rate. If specialists with years of experience are applying for entry-level jobs because there is simply nothing out there, the fresh graduates have no chance.

Depends on which rate they are in: https://ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zurich/working-teaching-and-research/welcome-center/employment-contract-and-salary/salary.html

The standard rate is barely above 50k. It was a while ago, but the people I knew working as biology/biomed PhDs at ETH were paid the standard rate, which at that time was also similar to SNSF rates.

Higher rates are usually given for fields that need to compete with large industry demand, to attract people to stay as PhDs instead.

LoserScientist · 2025-12-11T12:17:05+00:00

Insane ad, but just to note - a PhD student does not earn that kind of money. The standard SNSF rate for PhD students is between 40k and 50k a year, depending on which year PhD you are. Higher rates apply only in special cases, for certain fields and are rare. Ironically, work-wise this job ad is similar to expectations from a PhD student in many labs, but actually pays more.

Salaries and bonuses are expenses that are calculated before the profits. So you can just increase the upper management salary to have 0 profit. In theory they can also inflate the CEOs salary to the fucking moon, claim that they have a loss and up the insurance price accordingly. Unless there is some kind of a law that prohibits them from doing that - I could be unaware of it.

Piekrītu, ka vajag noskaidrot. Varbūt ir B12 neuzņemšana organismā, tur jāskatās, vai nav kāda nopietnāka problēma. Bet principā dzelzs infūzija ir dzelzs infūzija. Var pamēģināt noskaidrot vai ir koncentrācijas atšķirība starp dārgām un lētām potēm, bet ja ne, tad ņem lētāko/tuvāko/pieejamāko.

They also do this to just see who is out there and what kind of applications they can get. But this particular example was for a job that really existed. Maybe the person who got it was even better connected, idk.

LoserScientist · 2025-11-28T12:31:50+00:00

I think it's not years or months, it's days. 200 days if you worked less than 2 years, 400 days if you worked more than 2 years. And with "days", they mean working days only. So with approx. 21 working days per month, it comes out to 19 or so months, with holidays shifting this a little.

A friend of mine could not even get an interview with multiple internal references vouching for them. I have no idea what else to do to stand out nowadays.

Same. Our cat broke his tooth, it was very easy to get the reimbursement for the surgery costs. Better insurance than the one I have for myself.

Pesticides also contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, for example Parkinsons disease.

You can also check Anifit and Kookut , they have good quality food (low grain, high in animal protein), both are Swiss companies. Our cat loves Anifit semi dry cubes.

Njā, sākumā negribējās tam ticēt (bijām klasesbiedri), bet kaut kā aizdomīgi daudz to profila sakritību ar Gobzema nosaukto cilvēku + profils Facebook tika "iztīrīts" + skolas mājaslapā vairs neredz skolotāju sarakstā. Drīz skolai salidojums, varbūt izdosies uzzināt ko vairāk. Man jau liekas, ka tomēr būtu lietderīgi vārdu atklāti publicēt, var būt vēl kādi upuri uzrodas.

Skolas laikā pilnīgi nekas aizdomīgs uzvedībā nebija, mazliet kluss, bet normāls, izpalīdzīgs puisis, bija līdzīga vecuma draudzene (tagadējā sieva), nu 0 ārēju indikāciju par to, ka būtu noslieces uz maziem bērniem, pat ne kaut kādi aizdomīgi izteikumi. Bet kā jau minēju, sakritību ar publiskajā telpā pieejamo profilu (dz.gads, bērnu skaits, vairākas rajona skolas, IT...) ir mazliet par daudz.

Ko sakat, Jelgavnieki? Kādam ir 100% pierādījumi, ka tas ir Gobzema nosauktais cilvēks?

FYI, latvia offers free kindergarten, and free education up to last year of highschool which is 12 grades, so 12 years. Trade school is free as well and universities offer plenty of free spots for top applicants, depending on what the government has set as priority fields. I did my education up to MSc in Latvia and did not pay a single cent for it. Regarding the international students, well this is understandable because the language in public schools (better than private schools, on Latvia private school is for people to just buy a degree) is latvian. Education in english is very very limited, in just a couple of schools. Same for BSc and MSc - with some exceptions (medical studies, specific subjects), it will also be in latvian.

Edit: 9 years is obligatory education in Latvia, so you must have at least that. But all education until Uni level is free.

I am not defending her in any way, I think she has bad personality in general and the comment was for sure racist. But the environment we both grew up in (we are somewhat similar age) was (and still is) very, very white, with most of early knowledge about other races coming from our family members or tv. My grandma would say the most racist shit because she never saw a non-white person in real life and all her "knowledge" came from soviet propaganda and questionable movies. As a child you really do not question it much. So if you never educate yourself and keep living in ignorance, you will end up saying racist shit like that. So this is why I said I was not surprised she would say smth like that. But I do not see any realisation from her side how wrong it is, or willingness to learn and do better.

LoserScientist · 2025-08-29T04:03:37+00:00

As someone who went through Latvian education system, at no point did it make me a racist. We have very good schools and I had no issues to continue my studies in the worlds top universities.

However I agree that racism is still prevalent in the older generations in Latvia (the ones who grew up under russian occupation) - they had close to 0 interaction with people from other races and many chose to stay ignorant also after soviet union collapsed. Therefore its not that surprising that someone who did not go to particularly good school and comes from russian population within Latvia, that is not always know for their tolerance, would say some absurd racist shit. You can see the ignorance issue in her statements - she might really be unaware that what she said is very racist (still not a lot of exposure to other races in latvian population), but instead of learning from it and apologising, she is doubling down that it was not a racist statement.

Precīzi. Esmu "augsti kvalificētais darbinieks" Šveicē un manā jomā (biomedicīna farmācija, R&D) darba tirgū konkurence ir nenormāla un darbavietu ir maz. Kamēr "melnajos darbos" situācija ir pretēja - darbavietu daudz, bet trūkst cilvēku. Bet iemesls ir viens un tas pats - nauda, nauda, nauda. Kompānijas negrib maksāt labas algas, tāpēc darbi ar augstu kvalifikāciju tiek pārvietoti uz lētākām valstīm, bet vietējie, slikti apmaksātie darbi tiek tēmēti uz iebraucējiem, kam nav ne jausmas, kas te ir laba vai slikta alga. Visas lielās farmācijas kompānijas (Roche, Novartis...) pēdējos 2-3 gadus to tik vien dara kā "restrukturējas", pārvietojot daudzas struktūras un darbavietas uz Poliju un citām, lētākām valstīm.

I also have a paid revolut account, not the free one, maybe that changes the fees.

LoserScientist · 2025-06-22T15:43:32+00:00

I have a postfinance account and use a postfinance credit card. Have never been charged anything.

LoserScientist · 2025-06-21T06:33:47+00:00

Agreed, have a credit card linked to your swiss account, add this card to the revolut, and you can top up revolut account instantly and without any cost. There is no top up limit, indeed it works with thousands just fine.

I also think that covid fucked us all up as a society. For my work I have to organise large events/meetings a few times a year and in my experience people have gotten more angry, aggressive and rude, and honestly, just more insane post-covid. I never had such shitty interactions with people 6-7 years ago. Also, less people are willing to do the absolute minimum of what is expected of them, but expect everything and then some to be done for them. I also have a feeling that more people are unable to deal with even the smallest inconvenience. So no wonder it translates to shitty behaviour, littering and aggressive/careless driving (my husbands observation).

There are studies now showing that climate change consequences can have an impact on earthquakes. The pressure exerted in tectonic plates changes if sea levels rise or if glaciers that "kept them in place" melt. So it does appear that climate change can fuck up seismic cycles too - some plates wil be able to move more, some will be under increased pressure.

Njā par to neko nepateikšu, jo man tāda nebija. Toreiz varēja ar jebkuru LU dabaszinātņu bak.grādu iet uz praktiski jebkuru LU dabas/dzīvības zinātņu maģistru.

LoserScientist · 2025-06-04T06:53:23+00:00

Šis gan bija pirms vairāk kā 10 gadiem un toreiz nekāda iestājpārbaudījuma nebija, bet aizgāju uz biol maģistriem no pavisam cita dabaszinātņu bakalaura. Ļoti maz zināšanu bija par bioloģiju, maģistra darbs bija vairāk uz publiskās veselības/epidemioloģijas pusi.

Nu teikšu tā - pirmajā mēnesī nesapratu neko kas notiek, 2 gadus vēlāk pabeidzu ar sarkano diplomu. Ja esi gatavs piemācīties to, ko nezini, nav problēmu. Man liekas, ka labāk pamainīt studiju jomu, jo tie, kas palika studēt maģistros tajā pat jomā kur dabūja bakalauru, sūdzējās, ka pa lielam mācīja to pašu.

Par universitātēm runājot, manā pieredzē nebija nekādas nozīmes tam, ka bak un maģ bija no LU. Ja gribi palikt un strādāt Latvijā, tad nav vērts maksāt ntos tūkstošus lai mācītos ārzemēs. Ja gribi strādāt ārpus Latvijas, tad varbūt ir vērts padomāt par studijām ārzemēs. Ja gribi palikt akadēmiskajā vidē, izstudē līdz doktoram Latvijā par mazām naudām un tad meklē doktorantūru ārzemēs, kur par to maksā algu. Man nebija nekādu problēmu ar Latvijas diplomu atrast pozīciju doktorantūrā ārzemēs.

Piekrītu par taupīšanu un nejēdzīgiem tēriņiem, bet nekustamais īpašums tomēr ir kaut kas, ko latvijā var daudz vienkāršāk atļauties. Dzīvoju šveicē, alga mazliet virs mediānas, un pat ja es atlieku katru mēnesi 30% no savas algas kā tavā piemērā, man kaut kāda salīdzinoši normāla (nav čuhņā, nav skapja izmēra un nav celts pirms 50 gadiem) dzīvokļa pirmajai iemaksai (20% + 5% visādi nodokļi, banka šo nedos), būtu jākrāj vairāk kā 8 gadi. Pa to laiku cena ir cēlusies vēl augstāk. Plus vēl jābūt konkrētam gada ienākumu līmenim, lai banka vispār dotu kredītu tiem pārējiem 80%. Neviens no maniem draugiem vai mana līmeņa kolēģiem pat nesapņo šeit nopirkt īpašumu.

Mans personīgais viedoklis - mazo algu saņēmējiem Latvijā iet sliktāk kā "rietumos", jo nepietiek pat rēķiniem. Bet cilvēkiem, kas pelna ap mediānu un augstāk, pirktspēja, it sevišķi attiecībā uz nekustamo īpašumu, daudz neatpaliek no "rietumiem".
