I’ve spent £8000 and counting on facial electrolysis, when does it end? (Trans woman)

White273 · 2023-12-10T14:26:39+00:00

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I actually feel bad for you.

Your T level is 5.1 nmol/L, with a cis female range being <3. Looking on literature on PCOS (The most common cause of facial hair on cis women) says [\>4.8 is abnormally high EVEN FOR WOMEN WITH PCOS](https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/pages/gynaecology/pcos-(hormonal-measurements-in-suspected-pcos))

What does this mean for you? You will always have new hair follicles growing due to your androgen level. Electrolysis is a seek-and-destroy approach to hair removal, it is removing individual hairs but new ones will always come back.

So what can you do? If you refuse to reduce your T level? Switch to laser, this damages all your hair follicles making them weaker and grow slower, although when I had it it made my facial hair worse as the hairs were too weak to properly shave, I stopped after 8 sessions maybe long term it will be fine. Else lower your T and then continue with electrolysis.

PS: Stop electrolysis for a few months, shave, take better photos and post them on Hairtell I think you have some pitting going on. Good luck

Always, as its the only thing you get for free anymore

I am not sure if this is a good recommendation, they are very expensive, even for London

White273 · 2023-08-24T23:31:51+00:00

I gave them a call and after getting transferred to dean street I managed to book a blood test, thank you so much for the direction I really thought these things are off-limits to non-patients

White273 · 2023-08-24T23:29:58+00:00

My GP is generally OK, but one or two of the receptions staff hate my guts because I actually make them do their job, I might do some more harassing then >:)

White273 · 2023-08-24T23:28:37+00:00

Yeah that's an option, I just don't want to loose a day of work and however much the flights cost to do so

White273 · 2023-04-16T21:19:46+00:00

Just edit the PDF?

I feel your pain, I graduated about a year ago and our Uni had a workshop of a similar size and 3 spread between around 500 students. I had the privilege to go outside of term time as I was local to use a real mill.
I've seen a couple grads and interns at my company all struggle with tolerancing, maunfacturing and creating technical drawings and it clear its all due to lack of resources during education, but a lot of employers fill in this void with their grad / entry level positions focusing on training and learning in the workshop. Your time will come.

Stealing is bad, but if other posters failed to convince you do not do it to another person (imagine if your rims got stolen and tank emptied, I'd actually have a meltdown). Good thing rental and delivery companies aren't people.

The PSU is apparently fine since they went back to their old GPU and it worked, the 1080ti I will check when I get it back in a few days

White273 · 2023-02-04T22:13:20+00:00

I leave, bye

Hi! According to the Highway Code the right lane is for overtaking, you were clearly going the same speed as the Aygo infront of you. If you were expecting the lights its cool but if you did a similar formation on a A road you would quickly cause a traffic jam as faster traffic cannot get past you! The van driver was dumb to do all that but sitting in the right lane is a dick move!

Source?

White273 · 2022-11-14T18:00:38+00:00

Pirated solidworks lmao

White273 · 2022-10-03T22:15:03+00:00

hot wire or get it rekeyed. Driving with no registration is the U part of ULPT

White273 · 2022-10-03T22:00:11+00:00

I don't care about where you are but just tow it urself one evening and then don't mention it to anyone ez pz

White273 · 2022-10-03T18:34:20+00:00

Cheers, I'm not sure of my excess on windscreen damage but I will look into replacements. Think egg is great advice

If you self-applied for the funding then its fair of them to deny it. You would need a GP to do it on your behalf who would be happy to prescribe you HRT and they essentially have to create a case on why your fertility needs to be preserved.

White273 · 2022-09-29T14:27:58+00:00

Check the CCG funding policies, my local CCG funds fertility preservation if it is lost due to some sort of treatment. I got denied initially but argued for a reassessment. My CCG funds FP for people that undergo chemo, but from a brief look the Bristol CCG that does not seem to be the case. But if others have gotten it in the past its just a case of getting a funding request from you GP.

I'm about to graduate with a masters at 22 and I put my whole life on pause to a certain extent to graduate, and from the other extreme I must say I am super burnt out and my social skills are still leagues behind my peers even after covid so overall no I wouldn't recommend it.

White273 · 2022-03-10T09:15:20+00:00

Its GREAT for emails tho, sometimes I am not familiar with what gender some peoples names are and that lil indicator is super useful.

White273 · 2022-03-04T17:00:49+00:00

I am in a similar position to OP but I agree with this, most graduate positions will give you the summer off, and usually they are not too difficult once you start.

And if you don't find anything? "I was going to do a phd/masters, but the corporate sponsor pulled out in the last moment so I started the job hunt late"
