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.

? 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?

Legend has it that his birth, enlightenment and death all occurred kn the same day: full moon day of the month if Veshaka in thd old Indian lunar calendar.

Unhelpful posts and bickering have been removed. Thread locked.

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.

No, nasal spray would not be for asthma. And you are right, only nasal preparations available, my error. Could try a different steroid e.g. beclometasone which comes in brand name Clenil. The dosage equivalence is 2:1 i.e. 100mcg beclometasone is equiavelent to 50 mcg of fluticasone so would need 2 puffs of Clenil 50. (Make sure it is Clenil 50 not Clenil 250.) OR Foster inhaler which is beclometasone 100 + formoterol 6, roughly equivalent to fluticasone 50 and salmeterol 12. Symbicort 160/4.5 which you indicated you could find is last resort as it is equiavelent to fluticasone 80 and salmeterol 9.

No idea if it works, but tree tea oil is readily available on Lazada, Shopee and from iHerb (A review on Amazon say it takes ua year to work; another that it does nto work at all. ) Personally I'd go to the podiatry clinic I listed previously -- as I did, years back, when I had this problem.

Ciclopirox is nto available here. Anti-fungal nail lacquer that is available, is Amorolfine (Loceryl) but must be gotten from a hospital or clinic. I recommend this place: https://www.footcare.co.th/17154858/รักษาเล็บติดเชื้อรา-toenail-fungus It in any case works better if nails are mechanically abraded first, which clinic can do (painless). Without that it is difficult for the medication to penetrate the nail layer effectively. Be sure to wear only open toed shoes with no socks. Vinegar soaks daily are also helpful (regular cheap white vinegar works fine).

The dosage range is quite wide (anywhere from 1 to 10 mg) and people vary greatly in response. Response can also change as you age. Further confusing matters is that (Circadin excepted) these are classed as nutritional supplements not pharmaceuticals so there is no real 3rd party oversight on contents and actual mg may vary from what is listed (true for all supplements). So it boils down to trial and error. I don't see many reports of people saying dose less than 5 mg works for them though....

You can TRY just stopping the salmeterol. No guarantee it will work. Rather than switch to different drugs which may muddy the waters I suggest you try to find fluticasone inhaler. Start with 100mcg of that (close to current dose) so you can see the effect (if any) of having stopped the salmeterol. If none then wean down the steroid dose gradually.

No it does not mean they cover pre-existing. It means that there is no limit on cover for any chronic condition you newly develop after the policy is issued (unlike many Thai insurers). Be sure to fully declare any pre-existing conditions on your application. They will either exclude these or offer cover with a higher premium (or give you choice of either one).

I think that site is going to take you to April Thailand. Try this one https://myhealthinternational.april-international.com/en-us/profile/contact-information (Put US as country of residence and Thailand as country of cover). But double check that you have not been routed to April Thailand. I got mine through broker.

25/50 does exist. Have you tried asking Medisafe? https://medisafepharma.com/ (use the Messenger function) If that fails then you could try a switch to just a fluticasone inhaler. What you currently take is 25mcg salmeterol (a bronchodilator) and 125 mg of fluticasone (a steroid). 25mcg is already a minimal dose of salmeterol and next step would either be to stay on that low dose or discontinue it. But there is room for more "weaning" on the steroid. Avamys inhaler has 27.5 mcg of fluticasone in each puff, so 2 squirts would be 55 mcg. Alternatively, Fliuxonase inhaler has 50 mcg per puff.

1. As others have said your partner needs to see a diabetes specialist. Most goverment hospitals have a diabetes clinic. 2. He also needs to consult a urologist about his foreskin problems. Depending on what the underlying cause is, surgery may or may not be indicated (and his diabetes may of may not be a factor). Note that when surgery is indicated, there are often alternatives to full circumcision e.g. frenuloplasty or a "partial circumsion" . There is no substitute for a proper urology consultation. Is your partner registered at a government hospital under either Social Security or the"30 baht" scheme? As it should be possible to get whatever treatment is needed free of charge.

Your friends are confusing different holidays. Visakha Bucha commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha and this holiday -- the most important one-- comes on a full moon day in May or June. Asahna Bucha commemorates the first sermon given by the Buddha and it is in July or August (again, based on lunar calendar). There is a third holiday, Makha Bucha which occurs in February or March and commemorates a time when 1,250 of the Buddha’s disciples spontaneously gathered to hear him preach.

You do NOT want an O-X visa, it requires useless health insurance from a Thai company among other things. Non-O visa is available through the website. On the opening page, under Purpose of visa, scroll down to "Non Immigrant visa" and under that you will see "retirement (pensioner aged 50 or above..."), it comes much later than the "long term stay" visas as it is listed alphabetically. This will take you to a listing of requirements though on that page, it refers only to "Family of a Thai national (Immediate family includes spouse and children)" not retirement (but can be issued for both purposes). Anyhow you qualify as a spouse. I can't walk you through the actual application process as I have never done it, but others have and definitely you can get a non-O that way. There is a downloadable user manual which I attach here. Your account dashboard should show a Manage Application menu where you can edit your incomplete application or simply delete it. Since you are a year away from coming, I would just delete it and make new application when within 3 months of travel as the visa must be used within 3 months. Entering on a non-O, you will get 90 day permission to stay before that is up yo ugo to immigration for a one year extension making sure you have the required funds in the bank. Opening a bank account will be easier with the non-O entry than it would be coming in visa exempt. You can do the one year extension either on basis of marriage (requires only 400k in the bank and no limits on spending it once the extension is granted) or retirement (requires 800k in the bank and spending is restricted). Marriage is certainly better in terms of financial requirements/restrictions but process takes longer and there is an "under consideration" wait period. English-Manual(4).pdf

AA is not gone, but they only handle local (Thai company) policies now. I think due to Thai insurance regulations. Jenny left altogether, Wim might still be there but if so handling only local policy sales, if you ask about international they refer you to AA-world which is based in India and seemingly new. (Website not even up and running yet...) There are other brokers out there handling international policies (i.e. based in Europe, Oz etc) but I just don't have any basis for recommending any of them. Would love to hear from those who do.

No list as such but brokers can usually provide chart of options. Citizenship does not usually matter but age can greatly limit options for those over 60-65 years. I am American and have the French April plan.
