Where on earth do you find it for $294 for 2 injections? Going rate is over $200 for each injection. I was able to get $200 (each injection) even using GoodRx. Neither Gates Foundation nor WEF/GAVI had anything to do with development or production of this vaccine. AFAIK it has been a 100% private sector initiative hence the high cost. Cost likely will come down eventually once the developed workd market is saturated / and or Western countries with single payer health cover schemes negotiate to buy it in bulk but this is still a ways off.

It is available in Singapore and someone on this board (forget who) got it there. Raffles Clinic and Parkway Shenton would be good places to try. I just sent an inquery to the Raffles clinic in Phnom Penh. Since it is an affiliate, they might have or be able to get it. Will update when I get the reply.

If cannot be ordered in Thailand as the drug is not registered here. Altogether unavailable. It is also not yet available in all Western countries.

I'm in US now and recently got the 1st injection. No side effects at all for me.

Could be many things. Bursitis, cyst etc. You need to show it to a doctor

Moved to Healhh forum. Shingrix is not available in Thailand yet. Only Zostavax equivalent called SkyZoster available.

Bone disease is highly unlikely. As it has been 1/2 months of shoulder pain high time you saw a doctor For ih. Elbow pain is most often tendonitis and often results fgom overuse....computer, sports, weighg lifting etc. Rest and ant-inflammatories, plus sometimes an elbow brace udually do the trick over time.

It does not matter whether anything else is in envelope. I ewould not advise trying to send more than 2-3. Yes if not stopped by customs ut would appear in your msilbox. Note that it is recommended to store unopened pens in refrigerator. And even pens in use should be kept at not more than 30 C. Possible that by the time these reach you they will have been exposed to higher temps.

To minimize risk of customs seizure you have to send USPS. Delivery time depends on many factors including where they mail from, time of year, your lilocal postal service etc. 2 weeks would be rhe very fastest. 1 month more likely and can sometimes be more.

As Lorry said. Technically not legal but customs will often let very small quantities through if sent by regular mail. Often, not always -- and an injectable may be more problematic than pills are. Shipping costs will be small (just send regular air mail). As to time, it varies. Where I live, in the sticks, the answer is often "never". But probably better where you are.

Over the counter stress/anxiety/sleeping meds?
Sheryl replied to cocoonclub's topic in Health and Medicine
In your case the issue is clearly anxiety and therapy would be best answer. It may not resolve the problem instantly but over time, it should. Once you are directly dealing with your anxiety, and (hopefully) start to make the necessary decisions, problem will likely resolve. These middle of the night awakenings are your unconscious saying in effect "stop avoiding, you have issues to deal with and steps to take!". Once you are doing so effectively in waking life, I think it will let you sleep through the night. -
The following are well qualified specialists in pediatric dermatolgy. You will have to call the hospitals to verify if these are female or not (not sure why that matters?) https://www.samitivejhospitals.com/doctor/detail/srisupalak-singalavanija https://www.samitivejhospitals.com/doctor/detail/ausaneya-urupongsa https://www.samitivejhospitals.com/doctor/detail/weena-phuthongkam As for your wife, what exactly is the issue? If acne, any dermatologist can handle and better to avoid the aesthetic clinics.

Therapy rather than medication should be the initial approach with meds in addition only if absolutely necessary. Definitely never medication alone. For therapy I recommend either: Psychological Services International 9/2 Sukhumvit Soi 43 (near Phrom Pong/Emporium) Bangkok 10110, Tel: 02-2591467 http://www.psiadmin.com/ or NCS New Community Services 61/1 Soi Intamara 3 Sutisan Road Phaya Thai (Sapan Kwai Area) plus 2 branch offices: Bearing and Asoke Tel.: 02-114-7556 Email: [email protected] https://ncsbkk.com/ncs/index.php/counseling/about/ If medication is necessary (something therapist can help you decide), many therapists have a psychiatrist they refer to.If not, this doctor is highly recomended: https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Suttiporn-Janenawasin

I also renewed my premium directly (actually even when it was AA, I always had to pay the premium direct to April, only difference was that AA used to send me a reminder, this time I had to remember on my own. Renewals aren't a big issue but I will surely miss Jenny's assistance with claims for things not paid direct to hospital (e.g. out patient after care, and day surgeries<$2,000 that did not need pre-approval). Continue to want to find a good broker handling international policies. Surprised nto a single person so far can suggest one. @Etaoin Shrdlu any suggestions? I can find plenty online but no idea which are more solid.

Could try that, yes. Fast dissolve type is bette for middle of the night (but not essential... regular will work just a bit slower onset). -
I think that is quite possible. If one is hyper aware enough and overly focused on bodily symptoms one will aleways hear some ringing in the ears, even people who go not have tinnitus as such. Just by paying excessive attention to it. I can summon up both tinnitus and ear pressure right now as I type. Also, it is not standard of care to do a brain MRI for tinnitus. I thin you would do better to address your anxiety disorder directly. Chasing after imagined physical problems is a bottomless bucket, no end to it, as soon as one condition is excluded you'll have another "symptom" and so on.... because the underlying anxiety remains. Along the way you may go yourself real harm with unnecessary tests and procedures.

Yes you must enrol by age 65 for April. Cigna (Global) has no age limit.

Analysis The chance of Trump winning another term is very real

? 100% of people -- and for that matter all animals -- have recessive genes. A recessive gene is simply a gene with a trait which must be inherited from both parents to be expressed. For example, blue eyes are recessive in humans. Did you mean a specific recessive gene? -
This site: https://myhealthinternational.april-international.com/en-us/profile/travel-details 1. Sorry, I can't. Broker I had used no longer handles international plans. 2. You can use it initially for O-A visa if you get the "foreign insurance certificate" signed by them (a broker should be able to arrange this) but you cannot use it for in-country annual extensions thereafter. You would have to return to US at least every 2 years for a new O-A visa. I would suggest nto using O-A but rather O. 3. It is always wiser to join as young as possible as the longer you wait, the more chance of developing a pre-existing condition which would then be excluded.

Did you see the specialist in neuro-opthalmology I previously recommended?

I did it 2 years. The application process is quite easy but once submiyted, I was called in for the "intrusive questions" mentioned by @freeworld More than questions, had to come back with stack of credit advices etc to prove I was living off money brought in from abroad and eventually speak to a supervisor...with many deeply persobap questions unrelated to finances along the way . Was such a hassle I decided not worth it this year, but the amount in my case would nto have exceeded 1,000 baht. You are less likely to encounter this problem in a province with many foreign retirees. My provincial tax office has never heard of foreign retirees being able to live in Thailand and assumes all foreigners must be working here. Endless demands for my "work permit", "work contract" etc.

No, it does not. Mayo Clinic site on toenail fungus does not mention it. However since lower pH does deter fungal growth, it is true that vinegar soaks will help prevent (and to a much lesser degree, contain) toenail fungus. It would not usually be enough to cure a fungal infection altogether though. No need whatsoever for this to be apple cider vinegar, the much cheaper and more universally available white vinegar works just as well.In fact as white vinegar is slightly more acidic may work better.

Merged with the pinned thread on abortion. Other private hospitals would also work but nto all docs in them will do abortions.
