Chin up... I always say if it doesn't kill you it must still be pretty debilitating and you have every right in the world to whinge about it :wink:

ulcers are caused by bacteria and can be cured with antibiotics. neurofen and other pain killers have been known to irritate stomach ulcers, as far as mouth ulcers go I don't reckon ibruprofen would make any difference.

Like anyone who is dealing with animals/the elements is going to have their thesis written in 3-3.5 years. That is some jedi shit right there.

Don't worry 4.5-5 is standard.

just don't go over 7

Nope. In fact do my best to avoid it. I would go months without panadol or similar.
stovequeen wrote: are you under a lot of stress?
Probably.

It sucks. I've tried everything. I'm eating vitamin B tablets like they are m&m's. Using sm33. Using warm salt water. Everything that is recommended I'm doing. And they just get bigger and bigger and more painful.

Sorry to hear Josh

Maybe you have a food alergy? I suggest you see a good doctor pronto. Let me know if you need a recommendation. Pain is not normal not is a recuring complaint. You need to get this sorted pronto.

Add to that plants. Bloody biological interactions you can't control!
These days the uni's do put some pressure on you to get out by 3.5 so they can collect their bucks from John Howard. Longer you stay, less bucks for them. It can depend on how much your supervisor tows the official line.

My degree took 4 years full time, then 2 years part-time (with very minimal work until I wrote the damn thing up in the last month!)

yeah it's a joke really. They should increase the standard scholarship candidature to 4 years and raise the entry level stanard to make up the dfference in cashflow. This whole get it done in 3 years thing is a joke, causes alot of greif and alot of peeps go of the rails because it's unachaivable for the majority of projects. Everyone I know either has to beg for exentions, or work while finishing their thesis, spiral into depression and become extremly disgruntled and unproductive. I'm due in august, no fucking way it's happening. I need till the end of next summer at least. Fortunatley I've picked up enough work to be able to do some work off the clock and buy my time. Trying to save the 6 month extention untill the last minuet so I can use it purley for publishing papers.

Are you writing the papers before the thesis or the thesis first? If you have scholarship money left it's good to write the papers on that, and then convert them into thesis chapters. Bless the Universities that now let you use put whole papers in to your thesis! I wrote all 3 of my PhD papers while I was working in my Post Doc job. Painful to do them in your own time after a full work day. Good on you Flippo for trying to avoid that!

I was lucky I had a 3.5yr Govt scholarship with stipend (which I saved heaps of for the leans time I knew would come), then some money from my CRC, then some Departmental money. I'm good at begging!

yeh that plan is to publish before thesis. You can pretty much submit them as-is providing there is appropriate lead in and conclusion chapters tieing them all together in the traditional thesis style. Also, If you submit things that are already peer reviewed and published they can't really knock it back and fuckyou around for another 6 months can they, should just be green-lighted off the bat ;). I've seen people years after submitting in their thesis still with no publications from it, that would drive me nuts.

Bless the Universities that now let you use put whole papers in to your thesis! I wrote all 3 of my PhD papers while I was working in my Post Doc job. Painful to do them in your own time after a full work day. Good on you Flippo for trying to avoid that!

I was lucky I had a 3.5yr Govt scholarship with stipend (which I saved heaps of for the leans time I knew would come), then some money from my CRC, then some Departmental money. I'm good at begging!
yeh that plan is to publish before thesis. You can pretty much submit them as-is providing there is appropriate lead in and conclusion chapters tieing them all together in the traditional thesis style. Also, If you submit things that are already peer reviewed and published they can't really knock it back and fuckyou around for another 6 months can they, should just be green-lighted off the bat ;). I've seen people years after submitting in their thesis still with no publications from it, that would drive me nuts.

Best way to do it IMO.

You get picked to pieces pre-subission, then they can't touch you cos you're all like, "Yeah??, you don't like my methods??, well Nature didn't seem to mind them too much when they gave me a front-pager...... LOSER".
oh CIA! If only re: Nature! That's a tough call! :lol:
Just because I rock, doesn't mean I'm made of stone.
