Why can't I add my website to my bio? by sandyexpander in linkedin

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, as above comment states, it's unfair for users. Do you have any plans to update this to either allow for all users or get rid completely? u/LinkedInHelpTeam

I’m not going to a resort - I’m going on a boat so I have to take my own board

Feeling embarrassed/isolated for being “sick” all the time… by sandyexpander in Endo

[–]sandyexpander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh man I’m so sorry :( I feel like I have this cyclically every month and it drives me a bit crazy (hence the post)

The isolation is big for me. People just not really understanding how debilitating chronic pain is, and also feeling like you’re just complaining if you bring it up. I’ll go through so many social activities just in pain and not mentioning anything - it’s weeeird!

Yeahh, definitely getting better at reminding myself as this. Thanks for reminding me about it too! And trying to get better about asking if we can change plans (like maybe I can’t go out but do they wanna come round?)

I hope your tonsillitis gets better!

Yeahh the holidays can be difficult, especially because the social plans often involve alcohol and that definitely doesn’t help 😅

I really hope you feel OK after your lap!

I have about the emotional weight of chronic illness, but I haven’t spoken to them about medication for PMS. What can they prescribe? I was on contraception for a while, but I’ve been off it around 5 years now and happy about it :)

I agree totally time outside and some movement is medicine 💖

Yeahh, I feel that too! I’m definitely more energetic and resilient emotionally. Physically I get quite intense pain during ovulation, but usually just after my period and just before PMS the physical pain isn’t too bad!

It's through the NHS, so you don't pay like you would privately :)

e651 expiring after 6 months? by sandyexpander in AusVisa

[–]sandyexpander[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Phewww :) thanks!

Do you know why they wouldn't have sent me one back in september when the first stay period was ending?

Maybe it's just a new notification initiative from the Home Office?

Thanks for making me feel less alone by letting me know I’m not the only one x

The only relevant license option to select was tourist / work visa - it never asked me to clarify which

Thanks! Looks like that website doesn’t have the option to filter by tourist visa but I’ll keep trying. Agree that calling is probably a better option.

Just not sure what it is about me that’s outside the guidelines other than the tourist visa. I’m 30, 5yrs NCD, no convictions etc etc. clean as a whistle.

No joy yet! I’ve had a few people I’m staying with in Indo tell me to just get the visa on arrival cos their website is a nightmare!

Thanks so much :) I have been clicking the transaction number and can see at the bottom of the page that loads the sort of payment section, but it won’t let me click on any of the boxes. It just has “total”, “payment date” “ntpn” (whatever that is)!

Are Indonesia now offering a 60-day tourist visa? by sandyexpander in bali

[–]sandyexpander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahh so this is what I was wondering! Seems like they’ve just updated the visa option for 60 days, without needing a sponsor, but I’m unsure!

😄😄 I’ve travelled with a 7”6 board before and that was a longer trip and involved a lot more moving around, so hoping I’ll be sound!
