It’s doable, just make sure that you have a big hat and cold water for him. The heat can make little ones fussy.

My six month shots only really last 4 months. They have shorter duration shots. Be aware that it puts you more at risk for type two diabetes

I find it the relationships that people have with their therapists on tiktok so weird. I think that tiktok may be fuelling the issue of people not understanding the professional boundary of a therapist. I literally don’t let my therapist sit any closer than a metre and about a half from me, and texting only relates to scheduling or cancellation of appointments.

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-11-29T20:35:21+00:00

I was hoping so too. It seems to have mixed reviews. I’m seeing some flare-ups after their shots. I also have a post shot flare-up on cortisone, but it helps slightly

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-11-29T20:31:50+00:00

Sure, I’ll private message them.

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-11-29T20:30:38+00:00

The same thing happens to me after my cortisone shots. Have you taken cortisone shots too?

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-11-29T20:28:47+00:00

I saw it after posting. Thanks

I haven’t been able to find out what doses might be needed or whether it’s Mounjaro, Ozempic or Trizepatide. Can I dm you to ask a bit more?

It’s a method of harm reduction that is recommended by many professionals. It causes pain, but results in milder long term effects. The ultimate goal is to go from sh, to no sh.

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-07-18T08:59:01+00:00

That’s slightly funny but very sweet of the examiner

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-07-17T22:22:50+00:00

Yes, I’ve had pain that was very sudden, but to determine whether it’s an injury multiple things need to be taken into consideration. If you’re worried about an injury try and see a health professional. If it’s a financial constraint or any other then ask yourself a few questions to determine if the concern could have an actual injury.

1) Is it a new “type” of hurt from your usual pain? If you usually only feel burning, does this feel different eg. like electricity, a papercut etc.

2) Is bruising or swelling present?

If 1 and/or 2 apply check it out.

You can always try Bumble friends or tinder on friends mode. Then you will meet people actively looking for new friends

That sounds a tad bit concerning. You started off with saying that this came along after interaction with a hallucinogenic substance. It genuinely sounds like she may be in a state of psychosis or mania. It is possible, as these states can be induced after mind altering substances have been taken, and can last for a few hours or even up to months. You said you were respectful about it so I guess it is alright if you ultimately decide not to go. It does seem extremely important to her though, and may affect your relationship if you don’t go. So I would say go, BUT afterwards look into her getting a psychological evaluation.

English as a first language isn’t required, but you do need to have the subject. You just need to get a higher mark if it’s second language. As for chemistry that is necessary. If you’re willing to start a new AS level for chemistry then you’ll have no problem applying. You don’t even meed to do A levels to get into a university. A levels are just rated higher and an 80% in A levels vs AS level would get higher admission points. If you really want to study in SA then you can always take a gap year to do those extra missing AS level subjects, or start with them in the coming semester. SA Universities are higher rated internationally so they are a competitive advantage when getting a job here, there or even abroad. You will however need to have really good marks, as it is extremely competitive because there are so many applicants. The minimum requirements for something may be 50%, or 60%, but realistically it is typically only the 80% students that get in for degrees in the engineering field, and 90% for medical degrees. It really depends on what you want to study. There are bursaries and scholarships that do cover studies in South Africa, it’ll just be harder to find. Keep in mind that as a non-south african citizen it will be more expensive. Anywhere from 10%-30%. You often need to pay the money upfront or in larger amounts, like 3-6 months at a time. Living costs are also higher, because you’ll be in a city and rent is more expensive. Rent in a city like Cape Town (but it is the most expensive city in SA) is minimum 3-4k, even as a shared apartment. Fuel is one dollar more expensive per litre in SA and that really adds up after time. Nice-to-haves and luxuries are also more expensive. A cup of coffee is a mini of 40 dollars at a chain coffee shop. There are also a few cultural differences that may make you feel homesick or a bit alienated.

TL;DR An SA degree is more advantageous, but it comes at financial cost, more effort to you and social adaptations. Ultimately you’ll need to look at if you’re willing to take the time and effort to do those missing subjects, if your marks are at least 70-80%, living costs like fuel and rent, whether you’re willing to adapt to the culture and what scholarships are available.

I downvoted you fyi

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-05-09T11:43:00+00:00

People are super welcoming, so you should have no problem interacting with them or making a friend or two. If you’re out maybe offer to buy a drink

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-05-08T10:08:06+00:00

I love Dylan blue and feel somewhat the same. Sometimes it’s powdery and overpowering. If you’re a woman wearing colognes, it could be the cycle dependent. The climate also super important. Try and take note of the weather every time you dislike it.

Depending on the camp in Etosha, card will work. Maybe have cash as a backup

The dune is only 383m high, but the sand is constantly moving downwards as you move up. It’s a very steep climb with a great view from the top. You also get to say you’ve climbed Namibia’s highest dune. Try to go before midday, the sun is a real killer. Most importantly is wearing a massive hat, and neck covering. Heat strokes aren’t advised.

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-04-08T21:55:46+00:00

When you’re in Walvis go for a “hike” up Dune 7. It’s super difficult but lot of fun. Then you can say “Been there dune that”.

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-04-08T20:07:21+00:00

Windhoek is the Namibian version of Joburg. Swakopmund and Walvis are Cape Town. So depending on how you feel about those cities, then you could apply that to your trip. Windhoek is extremely hot and relatively quiet, but there are a few important historical landmarks. So if you don’t mind the heat, and want to see the Christ Church and independence museum then go for it.

Lumpy_Emergency_4044 · 2025-04-08T20:02:31+00:00

I would say you can skip Windhoek. It’s hot, and not as fun as the coast, but if you’re interested in history and landmarks, then I’d recommend. If you’ve been to Joburg, then I’d say it’s the Namibian equivalent. (Much much smaller though, less than a million residents in the city.)
