  1. Do you know if Valsartin is a beta blocker ?? I have to take one a day 40mg for high blood pressure caused by my testereone shots But I need my testereone shots even though it's going damage to my heart
  2. Yes I did , actually I waied to him 🙏 At first when I got into the taxi he seemed angry . He was going fast ,braking hard etc,turning radio on loud etc After speaking nice to him he finally told me about how he makes no money nowadays from these multi national companies who took over the taxi industry He at one stage owned 4 Pattaya taxis which was worth money but now he says worth zero
  3. Well what they regard as PRe existing is any doctor visit about that condition So if you went to the doctor and they have it recorded you had high blood pressure that day last 2 years I believe,then you have a heart attack on holiday guess what....you probably won't be covered
  4. Unfortunately you Brian are not ready for change We must not only embrace change but be nourished in it , example including supporting the Non Gender community and trans community in reading in libraries with storytelling to young people Welcoming diverse culture and embracing their idealogy to show we support them
  5. I have 30 years service And you don't have to take your long service leave all at once
  6. Wasn't allowed to eat pigs ??? Jewish ? Muslim?
  7. Myself and you .. we are a team
  8. Yes Gerd although I think my Doctor said Gord? Yes I have to take Nexium
  9. How do I know if I have this?
  10. Yes but please "analyse ' the psychology We are talking about the Coloured Licensed Pattaya taxis here before I go on The man was in his 50's he was making 500 baht a trip in his licensed taxi and this was years before Grab /Uber Then Comes along a multi national called Grab and says we are paying you now 80 baht ,take it or accept it That's why he was angry Jomtien to Pattaya 79 baht As he said this is wrong before he got 300 Change..we call it ..sad
  11. Please tip the taxi drivers ,they were making big money years ago thanks Change has occurred, Laundry now self service majority Internet cafes have been...deleted I pity the taxi driver
  12. So in Pattaya 5 days now. I have compiled statistics of change and change management a fascinating subject which relates to Pattaya in particular the Taxi service Change is a big thing for many including taxi drivers They could charge what they wanted many years ago particularly in high season I also used a Bolt service wonderful thankyou Bolt , they sent a taxi from Jomtien beach to Pattaya 80b a taxi turns up not a normal car but a taxi Pattaya in colors During the trip he complains that 10 years ago he could ask for 300b for the same trip now only he gets less than 80 baht The good times as he described are gone He used to own 4 Pattaya taxis He could get as he said 800 baht to Sanctuary of truth and this was 5 years ago I tipped him and apologised ,thankyou for your service Sir I said and bowed to him Taxi drivers used to earn big money Not anymore with Grab or bolt ! They forced him to either ACCEPT their price or go alone He was angry and justified , BOLT gets down to 60 B from Jomtien to Pattaya for a air conditioning taxi ! Surely they deserve more ,he was making 50,000 baht a month 10 years ago in his taxi he told me ,not now thanks to Bolt and Grab the multi national pests Times change unfortunately Yes he is right , taxis were charging HIGH 10 years ago Tipping because you must there is justified Please don't get me started on the cultural revolution it's not necessary ,Change is a big thing
  13. Obviously the Aussie bar the Billabong is doing something right to attract so many customers Better than that sour faced staff at the other "Aussie " bar in Jomtien beach , Bars are only as good as their staff or / and owner
  14. What are the symptoms of angina ? I may have this !!! Is it similar to Pericarditis?
  15. Oh don't be xenophobic and looking at it negative This is cultural diversity and "beautiful"
  16. Crikey ! Your taking a big risk
  17. This is a warning for you guys to check your travel insurance So I got a bit worried lately after a member on here spoke about his heart pains with his frequent testereone injections I noticed also I was getting chest pains too although the right side and middle after testereone injections I had these checked in Australia with Cardiography etc but the doctors claim they can't find anything except something called pericarditis which in his words is trivial the lying thieving Australian doctors say and should go away I made enquiries with a hospital to get a heart check whilst I'm here in Thailand I emailed the travel insurance company to ask for payment Well...they write back after a few days to tell me ,sorry it's pre existing your heart tests because..... anything you went to the doctor about in the last 12 months your NOT covered for !!! Which leaves me covered for nothing !!! In the last year I have been for heart tests ,liver tests ,kidney tests ,body ultrasouns ,chest X rays , bladder tests , prostate tests ,throat scans , colonoscopy etc They found nothing because they are liars !!! I'm a walking time now and yesterday sitting in a cafe in Pattaya I started to get anxiety and felt like a heart pain and then a liver pain and started thinking about the cost of I did have a heart attack or kidney failure or liver failure or my knees give out They write back to tell me I'm covered for anything NOT involving the last 13 months ! Means nothing I will be taking them to court They have blocked my communication because they are thieves and I have emailed them over 50 times to tell them I have asked for my money back Please check your insurance You are NOT covered for heart attack if you have HIGH Blood pressure before taking the insurance unless you got pre existing cover and exemption They accept your $$$ but will refuse if you have a heart attack claiming it was pre existing and was caused by your high blood pressure Hopefully my CT scan calcium scan on Wednesday in BKK will let me know if I need to rush back to Australia for immediate heart surgery . My blood pressure was 135 yesterday
  18. Thankyou ,now you have me worried. I have booked in for a CT calcium scan at Bangkok heart hospital 5000 baht this Wednesday Yes I'm going to stay off the testereone this trip or cut it down to 125ml , it gives me energy but I know it's affecting my heart
  19. Your exactly right You sound like my Australian GP I take 250ml per month in a injection,I noticed heart pain lately , thankyou for reminding me !!!!
  20. Absolutely beautiful, thankyou Will. It's posts like this that make us all come back to this forum.
  21. No !!! They wouldn't budge They sent me a reply saying they were investigating if I was told the fee BEFORE I agreed to it (change dates) So I let it go
  22. Thankyou Ralfy for asking ,you do have a heart after all and that's why I love you because I know you have a good side to you. It's now better ,I called a telehealth doctor and he prescribed me antibiotics. I had no idea you can now call doctors instead of going to see them personally, apparently started during Covid
  23. I didn't see any flooding on that part Ralfy It wasn't raining
  24. There you are ! We need your help Lou What is that area called with the middle eastern persons( and we need to say persons because we don't know their pronouns )
  25. I got the joke ...but as you know a lot won't
