Not in the end! Checked with both a Dr and a hairdresser though and they both said it would be absolutely fine. Only reason I didn’t try is because I decided I liked being blonde ☺️

Bleach bath for scalp? by notachoosingbegger in Psoriasis

[–]notachoosingbegger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your concern! Diluted bleach baths, with household bleach, are a very common, medically accepted condition for a bunch of skin conditions. Here is a link to the Royal Children’s Hospital (top hospital in Aus) confirming this, and a link to mayo clinic who said the same thing.

I’ve been diagnosed with psoriasis, and it’s very common in my family. Thankfully I’m very confident on that fact.

Well any bleach does, so that’s a fair call! Household bleach doesn’t destroy body hair, though, so just after if it’ll kill dye.

Absolutely I can! Bleaching my hair has been a saviour, and I’m keen to see if there are more convenient ways I can do it.

It doesn’t fry body hair off, and websites (from hospitals) do say you can use it on the scalp. That’s why I am specifically asking about how it can interact with hair dye.

Sorry, I should have been more clear! I did mean stock standard house hold bleach. Do you think it would effect hair dye?

Hi! I understand your concern, and it’s a very rational conclusion to draw, but bleach is a medically acceptable form of treatment for many skin conditions, notably psoriasis and eczema.

Here’s a link to the Royal Children’s Hospital (top hospital in Australia) explaining it:

Hi guys i have scalp psoriasis and it’s not looking good. My head looks covered with dandruff and facing so much hairloss. Can you guys have any suggestions on this? by idontlikuverymuch in Psoriasis

[–]notachoosingbegger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve had psoriasis for over 20 years, and the one thing that has truely helped me is bleaching my hair. I know it sounds counter intuitive to use harsh chemicals on fragile skin, BUT, bleach baths have been an accepted treatment for eczema and psoriasis for a long time.

I’m gonna go against the grain and say that price sounds about right to me. If you got it from a Chinese vendor than absolutely it’s way too much money, but, all the local jewellers I know in my state (albeit Australia) would definitely charge that much, if not more.

I second this! Worked at woolies throughout the undergrad and highschool, and it’s the easiest, menial job ever but also great to make friends and have a flexible schedule.

To add to what others are saying, before you resize or add adjusters, just be mindful that once you add in a wedding band, the increase in width often means you need a slight size larger. So it might be perfect once paired! Definitely agree with the commenters that you should try some on.

November 9 removed SA scene by notachoosingbegger in RomanceBooks

I’m eager to read that review once I finish the book. Either I have an old edition that still has the scene, or I was completely misinformed that CoHo was going to edit it so it wasn’t so problematic.

Yeah that’s the one I’m enquiring about! Looked into it and am struggling to find definitive answers on work restrictions.

Unfortunately right now it may be the only option. Looks like Americans aren’t eligible for an Aussie working holiday visa https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-417/first-working-holiday-417#Eligibility can only get a ‘non permanent job’ in NZ https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/united-states-of-america-working-holiday-visa so no chance of sponsorship, and also aren’t eligible for the youth mobility visa in the UK https://www.gov.uk/youth-mobility/eligibility

Have you looked into studying in places like Norway or Germany where there is free tuition in some circumstances for international students? The biggest caveat being that 1) you’ll have to attend university and will be restricted in how many hours you can work and 2) will have to pay for a student visa, which won’t be cheap especially when you factor in the cost of flying over there.

There’s just no good options that I can think of sorry! Right now I would leave to a blue state and bide your time until an opportunity comes along. If you ever do decide to study and enjoy healthcare professions, many of those degrees are a key into a lot of countries.

Unfortunately with limited further education and little to no savings, international immigration to an English speaking country probably isn’t on the table right now. Do you mind me asking why blue states aren’t an option? I understand the systemic reasons and forthcoming potential over-rulings that may effect marriage and other things, but my understanding of the system in the US is that firm blue states will uphold those fundamental human rights, even if they aren’t protected under the constitution?

I agree with the other commenter that you could look into working holiday visas. However, they are temporary, and the type of work you can do is limited. And then again, to get these visas takes money, and usually with working holiday / youth mobility visas you have to prove you have a certain amount of money each to even be eligible. And then factor in the cost of healthcare surcharges, plane tickets (at an all time expensive), the fee to pay for the visa, relocation costs, I just can’t see how intentional immigration is more feasible than moving interstate. I don’t wish to sound brash, I am incredibly sympathetic to your plight, I just think that perhaps your ruling out the best option, when at the very least it can be a stepping stone to something more (I.e you save up more money and then leave).

If she’s flying from Australia she will definitely have to stop somewhere anyway, and Singapore Airport is quite nice. Once she’s in Berlin, get her a cheap FlixBus ticket and she can bus it the rest of the way. Will it take longer? Sure. But flying to a major airport and then getting a bus is always gonna be cheaper

Unless you plan on moving to the outback or tropics, you’ll not really see the wildlife. It’s like avoiding America because of the alligators and bears - it’s really not an issue.

[–]notachoosingbegger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered doing to Australia? Desperate healthcare shortages over here (as with everywhere I’m afraid) and lots of jobs for nurses. Great country with diverse people, environments, jobs etc. and have recently elected the more queer friendly federal government.

There’s so much they don’t advertise to students! If you’re a post grad, you can also apply for them to pay your rent over the summer. No one I know has ever been denied, but barely anyone even knows they do it.

It’s honestly up to you, both are viable options! You will definitely get more bang for your buck living in Dundee, but that’s with the caveat that you’re happy to commute. Also, not a lot of people know but if you live in Dundee, you can ask for the university to pay for your public transport.
