MPC in Dublin for pre clearance, is it available?

I'm flying Uk- JFK via Dublin soon and the layover in Dublin is quite short, the flight I'm getting in looks like on flightradar24 that its usually late too. Is the MPC app thing (I've never used it) available in Dublin at present? I've travelled to the US on a few ESTAs before and I have a valid present ESTA now.

Im an anxious traveller and I'm worried TSA will take ages and I'll miss my flight!

ETA uk tourist visa from US with Posession arrest no charge?

Asking on behalf of a friend in the US, they have an arrest from a couple of years ago for posession. No charges. they have a DUI from about 10 years ago too. Is an ETA likely to be refused for a 3 week visit to the uk before we travel onwards into the EU together?

Approved ESTA social media declared question

I applied for my ESTA (ive had 2 before) last year and it was approved, however I think I decayed I use Facebook. I obviously use other social media but would dearimg Facebook be an issue? I somewhat nievely though "oh just declare one as they expect you to have some surely"but facebooks pretty clean but my Instagram isnt. I'm sure I didn't declare that. all my socials are locked private.

Is this likely to crop up? feeling armour after reading some threads on here

Should I bin this tube?

I've had a tube of Tret gel 0.025% I've been using since end of May, and the last week it's not been making my skin feel the same, the slightly tingly burn. I was using the sandwich method to start and then have switched to just Tret. it's been very hot here and I've had it on my bathroom counter (no daylight) and the textures always been a bit uneven. is it dead??

Low Ferretin needs to carefully increase..

So I have very low ferretin, it was at 9 last December. At that point I was pescatarian and had been donating blood for 4/5 years. I'm female 42 and menstruate normally.

I've started eating red meat again, but I still have the usual symptoms, lightheartedness, cold hands and feet and sluggishness. I have hair loss but that's almost certainly genetic not iron related.

One caveat: I have a form of genetic haemochromatosis (compound heterozygous 1 H and 1 C genes) and 5 years ago my ferretin was about 120, and the donating has over-bled me!

I've been taking iron biglycerate every other night but bought a better you iron spray today. Anyone been on a similar boat to me?

Oral or topical with dreadlocks?

hey, so I've (F42 UK) had progressive thinning since my late 20's. My mum had pretty bad AGA but never treated it. I have low ferretin, treating with iron biglycerate and lots of red meat eating, and no hair loss diagnosis officially.

I'm in the UK and getting that sorted in the NHS where I live (rural area) would be almost impossible, but I am determined to treat my hair loss soon.

I have waist length thin dreadlocks in natural dark blonde fine almost straight hair with the front of my hair free and loose and styled in blunt bangs with layers at the side like a wolfcut.

I've noticed the front of my hair where my bangs are has really badly thinned out this last year or two. I am exteremely confident my hairstyle isn't causing traction alopecia as the thinning in in my loose hair almost exclusively. I do have thinning at the sides as my dreads have gotten thinner.

My concern is this: is Oral minoxidil going to be easier to start on than topical? using the foam and getting it between my dreads, and the fact I only wash them every 10 days of so for practical reasons really put me off topical.

I don't want to change my hairstyle yet, but another concern is hairiness! I have had electrolysis on my upper lip and chin already as well as my stomach and I don't fancy growing even more! I have no hormonal concerns. Super regular periods and copper Iud. I've read this: https://donovanmedical.com/hair-blog/oral-minoxidil-five-errors and have a good idea of what to take to avoid excess side effects

Anyone else had similar experiences or suggestions?! Thank you!
