Sorry to hear that, it's the best pain killer for me, not tried anything else though.

Yes I've had 2 endoscopy and 1 Colonoscopy, nothing found.

I've had many Ct scans all with contrast, no have not had my appendix out. I can not afford to keep going to Hospital for expensive tests especially when each time they say " we can't find anything, stay in hospital for tests" yea right I wish I had bottomless pockets.

Yes I know, maybe it's better than pure Tramadol.

I've been to many, one clinic said "it's the street food, I'll give you tablets" did nothing.

I've got some of those so maybe I will try them instead of Tramadol.

What's the problem mate, tests show nothing, Doctor guessing at sensitive nerves.

I couldent tell you, I stopped drinking Alcohol when I started getting this pain, I don't smoke, I'm fine continuing with the Tramadol but if it gets regulated then it might become unavailable.

No, the Tramadol works 100%. Hospital seemed to be okay with me taking it, Doc did say he would give me something that would last longer but I never went back.

Abdominal plus lower back pain.

I've read in the last few days that Tramadol is considered a dangerous medication, I've been taking Tramadol for the last approx 3 years, I only take 1 50mg tablet for pain, recently it's been 1 tablet every 6 hours, if I don't take it the pain becomes unbearable so Tramafol has been a life saver for me. I've been to every hospital on Phuket,had many many tests including CT scans, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, X Ray's, blood tests, EKG's you name I've had it, Doctor says "we can't find anything wrong, it must be sensitive nerves". My GF is constantly worried about me taking Tramadol, what would be the best alternative for me to take instead of Tramadol?

Thanks mate, sorry I don't understand that at all, thanks for taking the time and effort to explain.

I'm over 65 but not married, my State Pension is approx 8000 GBP

Yes I believe the UK has the double tax treaty so hopefully I have nothing to worry about but I still worry.

Brillient. everyone is going to say "I have a very big one"

16 extensions and all by the book, pay tax in the UK on my 3 small pensions, so they want to tax me again, unfortunately I'm not in the position to leave so I will have to do what they decide to do in the future, doubt I would be able to afford 2 tax bills. Just done my new extension so I'm okay untill 2025. I don't have any bank accounts in the UK only Thailand.

What an idiotic comment from I dare say an idiot.

I'm in Phuket my bike is In thai name. Someone from another Province is interested, how is it done(paperwork etc.

Yes Mike, I've been unwell for a long time now, any little worry brings me down I'm afraid to say, I'm trying not to worry, thanks for showing concern.

Not strange, he is just a nice man along with all his family, known him and the family for many years.

I have never experienced this in my 16 years here in Phuket, everyone I have met has been very nice, even my Policnan friend is great, just walks into my house and sits down, has a rest then he is off, very amusing.

Can someone tell me where to go to get tax advice, I'm in Chalong. I get 3 Pensions from the UK, I pay tax on all 3 in the UK before the money is sent here, UK State Pension, London Fire Brigade and Tesco UK. I've been to the Tax Revenue office, no English spoken but they said "if you don't want to pay tax here then dont" now I'm even more worried. Hopefully someone knows of an office I can go to too get the advice I need. Thanks.

Thanks Mike.

I've never tried to stay under the radar, paid tax on my pensions for the last 16 years in the UK. Immigration the bank never gave me any paperwork regarding paying tax here, it's not ignorance I just never thought about it.

I did go to my local Revenue office, they told me "if you pay tax in your home country you won't pay tax here"
