Sisters do Lycon waxing and I really find it less painful, (I don't do pain!) I go to the mirdiff branch but they seem to all know what they re doing, again it's a bit more expensive but I would def avoid going to cheaper places on the streets as I had a couple of quite traumatic experiences doing that when I first moved here! ?

The OP should be aware that what happens in Dubai is not always the same in Doha. Please try to get info from either someone here with direct experience or contact the Qatar Embassy in UK. Ah! Yep sorry, just noticed I was on Qatar thread! Best to double check the rules there x ?

Hi Curlygirly, I too have been on 40mg of fluoxetine for many years, I came to Dubai 4 years ago with the same concerns and I can confidently say you have nothing to worry about. Fluoxetine is a restricted medication in Dubai, however you can absolutely bring it into the country with a doctors prescription, I have been doing so for the past 4 years, it is not an illegal drug and will not cause you any problems with a prescription. My advice would be to bring as much with you as your doctor at home will give as it is expensive here, I stock up every time I go home! With regards to getting prescriptions here, again it's very simple but quite expensive! Are you coming here to work? Will you have any medical insurance? Insurance will cover the cost of at least the appointment if not the medication. I can recommend making an appointment with Dr Amer at Dubai Community health centre, I was referred to him by a company doctor when I arrived in Dubai and I ve found him to be a godsend! It's about £80 per appointment though and yes it's around £40 for 30 Prozac, I had him prescribe me a generic brand though which is about half the price, he's very easy to talk to though and will help you out any way he can. With Fluoxetine/Prozac being restricted you have to have ID, passport or UAE ID with you when you go to the pharmacy but otherwise you're good to go! If you're worried about anything else just ask xx

Hi Ladida00, I was initially on Dianette when I came out here, had been for years and it kept the acne under control quite well, Maybe this is something worth considering? it's called Diane 35 here & you can buy it over the counter, my Doc took me off it as there had been some reports about it causing blood clots and I was working as cabin crew at the time, she put me on Doxycycline which really helped for a good year & then just seemed to stop working, I then tried Erythromycin which worked well for a few months and then it too stopped working and for the past year I ve been back and forth between the two, back on Dianette and nothing was working anymore, I think your body maybe gets used to the antibiotics after a while and they re no longer effective? A word of advice about Doxycycline . . . It caused me a really severe sun reaction! I was absolutely fine sunbathing in Dubai while on it & did nt give it a second thought, then earlier this year I went on holiday to Thailand and after one day on the beach wearing factor 30 I was in severe pain! Not even sunburned as such, my skin wasn't particularly red! But it was burning & excruciatingly painful! So please be careful and try to stay out of the sun while taking these as I ve since found out it's quite a common side effect! Best of luck with them, here's hoping we have beautiful skin soon xx

Again with the nasty comments! Wither you agree with OP or not there's really no need to be rude! I honestly don't understand some of you "ladies" are nt we supposed to be helping one another out?! Apart from [i'>maybe[/i'> one comment that [i'>might[/i'> be taken the wrong way, I fail to see that anyone has been rude or nasty? All people have pointed out is that salons are not safe for babies due to the chemicals and also that people go there to relax and shouldn't have to listen to a crying baby. What is nasty about that? :thinking: I was nt talking about your comment or anyone else who simply doesn't agree or has pointed out salon rules, but I count 6 comments that are undoubtedly a slant at OPs character. I really have no opinion on this matter one way or the other, I can see both sides of the argument, I'm just fed up coming on here and seeing women attacking and ridiculing one another, most of us come on here looking for support and advice and it saddens me to see women behave like this with one another, life's hard enough!

Thank you ladies, Beebers yep I totally get you! My skin is soooo dry! Not only on my face but my whole body! I'm literally slathering anything on it that gives it some moisture! Oil free or not! Can I ask how long you were on Acutane & how long the dryness lasted after you quit? I'm also having a major breakout but I ve been assured the meds need to push out all the pollutants from your pores before it starts to clear & it won't last . . . Here's hoping! I appreciate your advice on diet / products ect, but I ve been suffering from this for 22yrs and believe me I ve tried everything! I think I'm one of the unlucky few who really does have hormonal acne ? Just need to stick at these meds I guess & hope they don't kill me in the process! ?

Thank you so much for your replies ladies, JEAHH45 can I ask if the roaccutane had any effect at all with 2 months treatment? What dosage were you on and how long after you stopped did the side effects last? . . . So sorry for the 3rd degree! I'm going back to my Derm next week, I'm seeing Dr Rolf at Cooper Clinic ( any experience with him? ) he was a bit abrupt and gave me the bums rush last time so I never really got a chance to ask him anything or about alternative treatments but I def will this time as I had no idea what I was getting into until I started the medication and went on good old Google! . . . I am trying to stop honestly! ? Thanks so much again & I def will give that makeup a try xx

I can also second Dr Amer, I ve been suffering pretty much my whole life with anxiety / depression & he is the best I ve found anywhere, genuinely caring & knows his stuff. It's a wee bit expensive 400/500 per session & the session s don't last very long which would be my only complaint, but as someone else said, there was a time I was in a but of a mess financially and he did nt charge! Well worth a visit, Best of luck x

I feel your pain! It's been over a year now for me & nada! I never had this problem at home, I'm applying for jobs I'm more than qualified for ( my background is HR/ Admin too ) and still nothing, in fact I ve only had 3 interviews! Someone told me recently it could be because I don't have a degree and I'm relying on work experience? Albeit 15 yrs of work experience! I'm not sure what the problem is here but it's really frustrating! ?

Hi ladies, Is anyone else having problems finding a good hairdresser in Dubai? When I first arrived I went to Franck Provost in Dubai mall & left with one side of my hair shorter than the other! 3 and a half years later after waiting until I go home to have my hair done each time, I plucked up the courage to go to Sisters in Mirdiff after being happy with a root colour & Brazilian blow out I had done there & have left with the same side of my hair much shorter than the other!?! I'm scared to go back & have them fix it as it's already much shorter than I would ve liked & I'm scared of leaving with a mullet! Had anyone else had this problem or could recommend someone? I ve never had this happen at home it's bizzare!?!

Scottishbambi I'm really sorry to say this but there looked to be a cat on the road by the "pineapple" building yesterday- I couldn't stop as there was traffic on both sides. It was a tortoiseshell which looked very small and skinny - almost looked feral. I really hope it wasn't your pet. I almost didn't post this as I didn't want to upset anyone but not knowing must be awful! Thanks for posting kemsmum, I'm relieved to say it was nt mine, he's black, I hope whoever's cat it was can find him or find out, not knowing really is awful, I'm begining to realise this happens a lot here, was talking to my neighbour yesterday & her cat was killed on the road here too, at home this would be really rare but people seem to drive like maniacs here!

Thank you so much for replying ladies, I did nt think about the gardeners, I ll def ask them, I'm in Silicon Oasis, our villa backs onto a main outside road & I caught him over there a couple of times, I don't know how he got over! He could get up on the garden wall but it's a big drop at the other side! The drive like maniacs out there so it seems likely it was him, but u don't want to give up hope, he did nt have a collar on, he had one but it broke recently so chances are I won't know, Does the same apply for dogs here? I know back home u would have to report if u hit a dog but not a cat, which does nt seem fair cause we love them just the same, Thanks again for ur help, I ll keep u posted

Could be something called peri menopause, I don't know much about it but I ve heard it's something that can start a good few years before the actual menopause & can have some pretty bizzare symptoms ( don't u just love being a woman! ) might be worth looking into? Hope u feel better soon either way

No lolacat, I don't have any trouble understanding peoples concerns it's a worrying time for everyone, wither you live in Scotland or have friends or family living there. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I just take exception to some peoples ignorant, self indulgent & downright rude comments! How on earth can a comment be self indulgent? Everyone is entitled to an opinion as long as they don't disagree with yours perhaps? When did everyone become so nasty to one another?! Shame on the lot of u!

Completely agree with u there & I for one have come home to vote I'm pretty sure you have to actually be a resident in Scotland to vote and can't just pop back to vote. Or am I wrong? Yes, I do still have residency in Scotland & I'm entitled to vote, would nt miss this for the world! do you live in the uae?, if so, then you dont have residency in scotland, i have a scottish voter registration form at home in scotland but as i am not resident in scotland i didnt proceed with it. you are not entitled to vote if you do not live there, it clearly states that, even if you have property there or family or whatever. if you have a residency visa in your passport for another country its simples.... you are not resident in scotland then. edited by busybee2 on 15/09/2014 Thank you for sharing that information busybee, that's correct, however my personal circumstances are not that straight forward & they are just that . . . Personal! Suffice to say, i live part of my time in Dubai & I have come home to Scotland to vote, which I am perfectly entitled to do!

Livelytrish- you just gave me a good laugh at this last comment ? Not partronising eh? Do you actually read your posts before you add them? I'm not easily patronized but I can spot it a mile off so if you ever need some 'cuddly banter or a wee hug' apparently I'm your women ? My post has been removed, but i disagree with you completely. Perhaps your post was removed for a good reason!

No offence to anyone but seeing as you all feel so strongly about the issue how is it none of you have made provision to be there to vote? If it was the future of my home country you can be d*mn sure i'd have my say. People fought and died for my right to vote and I would be hard pressed to not exercise it. There are lots of reasons not to be there but as many of you have said this is a forever deal. Completely agree with u there & I for one have come home to vote

So if we re better together, why are nt we better now? The Westminster government are tearing the country to shreds! As far as I can see our only hope of a better future is to make our own! So what do you actually mean and how do you believe Scots will better off? How will they be better off, please explain why you would vote yes? I mean, everyone who is saying we re better together, why? The country is a mess! & things are continuing to get worse! Things have to change! This is our chance to change our country for the benefit & future of our children and future generations! One of a million examples being trident, if we have a yes vote, the Westminster government will have to move their nuclear weapons out of Scotland, the small rural village near the proposed new site are rightly up in arms about having nuclear weapons on their doorsteps, but the people of Scotland's biggest city Glasgow have had no say whatsoever about having these weapons just a few miles away! We are continually being used as a dumping ground by a Westminster government whose last priority is the health & welfare of Scotland! edited by Scottishbambi on 14/09/2014 I'm slightly dumbfounded by your response, please explain to me the financial implications for Scotland if it was to break from the UK? Explain to me how Scotland is to fund its self? Explain to me when all the UK companies move out what is going to happen to your employment figures? Do you think England is better off re health and welfare? Do you think the UK has not just been in the worst economic mess ever recorded and is actually managing to turn that around and that a split with Scotland now will bring financial ruin for Scotland? Do you really think that the above is a basis to split with the uk? I notice u did nt mention the point I made about Trident?! Scotland has the vast majority of the UKs natural energy resources, we supply the rest of the uk with oil, gas, electricity from our wind farms & even water! We are more than well equipped to fund ourselves, the scaremongering in regards to companies moving South is exactly that! Scaremongering, companies like RBS who the BBC & other bias sources are reporting to be moving south taking all their jobs with them have come forward to say that this is not true! Their headquarters may be moved south temporarily while the currency issue is sorted out but no employees in Scotland would loose their jobs, I think people need to look at the bigger picture here, it's not Scotland who would loose out in independence edited by Scottishbambi on 14/09/2014 I'm guessing that your are including Wee Alickie's hot air as a natural energy source. I now understand, from reading your posts, just why so many of my friends at home are scared for the future. Halfbaked theory, voodoo statistics and downright lies don't fool the older generation, and so I also now realise just why Salmond subverted electoral law to include the under eighteens. As for your repetitive accusations about Westminster, perhaps you should consider the fact that the present PM is half Scot, and his two predecessors both Scottish. Scotland is far smaller than England, yet has always punched above its weight in British politics. This is not going to be a General Election, where the voters can give the incumbents a good kicking and know that life will go on as usual. This is for ever, there will be no rematch in five years. I pray God knows what you are wishing for, because I don't think you do. edited by Livelytrish on 14/09/2014 I ll put ur horribly patronising response down to u having a bad day shall I? Half baked theory? voodoo statistics??!! Scotland punching above it's weight & ageism?!! Sure your not a UK politician? ? I am well aware of what's at stake here, we all are! What makes me laugh is why people from the UK are so up in arms about this? If u genuinely think we have no chance of making a success of our own country, why do u care? What skin is it off ur nose? Why is Cameron in Scotland begging us to stay? Surely u should all be glad not to be subsidising poor Scotland anymore?! Could it be that Really u know how much u have to loose? Please read my previous posts on this thread. You will see that I am Scottish, proud to be Scottish and always will be. I am also proud to be British. It would seem that you are as selective in your reading of facts on this site as you and your fellow YES supporters are on economics, politics and history. Sorry Trish, I did nt see any facts in your posts! Just a lot of patronising

All I am getting from some people when I ask "why yes"? They just keep saying we'll be better off on our own. They don't seem to have the slightest idea of what is to come. Do u? None of us know what's to come, but some of us are willing to take a chance on something new as the future of the country as it is now is extremely bleak!

We've just been discussing this at work. It's strange how everyone of my generation is very much against it and it seems to be the youngsters who think it's going to be the best thing since sliced bread. edited by Geordie expat on 14/09/2014 Oh the folly of youth! As my mother would say, and probably me now ;) "They've made their bed so they can lay in it" Actually I am it home in Scotland for the referendum & I think you would be surprised by how many people of all generations are pro independence

So if we re better together, why are nt we better now? The Westminster government are tearing the country to shreds! As far as I can see our only hope of a better future is to make our own! So what do you actually mean and how do you believe Scots will better off? How will they be better off, please explain why you would vote yes? I mean, everyone who is saying we re better together, why? The country is a mess! & things are continuing to get worse! Things have to change! This is our chance to change our country for the benefit & future of our children and future generations! One of a million examples being trident, if we have a yes vote, the Westminster government will have to move their nuclear weapons out of Scotland, the small rural village near the proposed new site are rightly up in arms about having nuclear weapons on their doorsteps, but the people of Scotland's biggest city Glasgow have had no say whatsoever about having these weapons just a few miles away! We are continually being used as a dumping ground by a Westminster government whose last priority is the health & welfare of Scotland! <em>edited by Scottishbambi on 14/09/2014</em>

Thank you for your replies ladies, Another friend recommended Joseph from Aleena curtains (also recommended on here) He seemed very helpful, I'm just a bit worried about the quality of his fabric & poles, does anyone have any experience with him? Thanks ?
