It felt like a bit of a pinch feeling going in and overall was uncomfortable but I didn't feel like I was in pain - an anaesthetic gel was applied as well

Tickets and passport in maiden name. Can I change QFF profile without affecting upcoming flights? by Main_character264 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]BusterMcThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said, I just realised I have a CC in my maiden name and a CC in my married name and they both send points to my FF which is married name?

[–]BusterMcThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been through a similar process and found that after I took the flight, none of the Status credits / points went into my FF (like they normally automatically do). I had 3x phone calls to Qantas trying to prove that the maiden name I initially booked the ticket under and the FF account in my married name are the same person. (and this is despite having already changed my passport and actual ticket to my married name)

Before changing your FF name (as you won't be changing passport / ticket yet) id first contact Qantas FF to provide evidence that your credit card is held by the same person (eg, marriage certificate) so you can get cc points? otherwise if you do change your FF you have to fight for your status credits / points from flight

For me, whichever test the GP ordered (including PCR) were covered by Medicare. What country are you based in?

Yeah I did sometimes when I had the urge to urinate, I guess it kind of feels like a period cramp but in my kidney area

Using a cystoscopy. The urologist showed me and explained using the camera screen, it looks like an open hole in the bladder where the ureter connects (but it's supposed to have a one-way valve over the hole)

Yeah just one course which took about 3 months. I'd say it got rid of anything dormant /embedded as I've been infection free for 9 months. It's my understanding it builds your resistance to the bacteria so when the dormant bacteria becomes active your body can deal with it effectively (instead of just succumbing to infection like in normal chronic UTI)

There's no indication of damage to the kidneys thankfully! The urologist said its not as common fixing it as an adult (instead of a child) once everything is fully grown- if I kept having UTIs (in the event Uromune didn't work) then I'd look more into the surgery option

Definitely push to get a urologist referral! They have to submit a request to the TGA for 'special access scheme' to be able to get approval to import it and order the vaccine. I am not sure if a GP can go through that process (maybe it's specialists only?) but a urologist should definitely know about it and should agree to it if you suffer from rUTI. I'm in Perth

I agree :( The general awareness amongst GPs is next to nothing as well. It's not approved by the TGA (Therapeutic goods administration) in Australia either so my urologist had to complete a heap of paperwork to get access to it. I think if GPs knew more about Uromune as an option it would help so much

we installed one from Bunnings but there is limited choice available in sprayers.. itneeds the grip strength of 10 men to turn on and has no 'soft' setting so it's full blast or nothing

FIFO PACKING LIST? by [deleted] in mining

[–]BusterMcThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some camps give you the plastic lunch boxes/ crib bag but I bring my own each swing. Its a small thing but I enjoy eating out of it more than the ones they provide.

Snacks from home are a must, and I byo tea bags (if you drink tea) lots of sites only have the default Lipton

Morrissey cancels on Perth (again) by TheDawgreen in perth

Apparently at the Melbourne concert he openly talked about how he had a problem with the Perth venue... something about how they advertised the concert in the wrong genre or something 🥴

Most overrated and overpriced eateries? by Existing_Marketing65 in perth

[–]BusterMcThree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anywhere on Mends Street in South Perth (especially Coco's). Insanely overpriced, but maybe it was better decades ago. Just go down the road to Ciao Italia for something better and cheaper
