  1. what medication are you taking ?
  2. exactly . the second urologist you saw is obviously how ALL doctors should engage with their patients . Let's be honest : how many of us have that experience nowadays ? BTW: i forgot to ask : since 2017 has all been smoothe ? No further complications from the surgery ? Most importantly, no serious side effects ?
  3. i have been reading some other user reviews about rezum . Though i understand that most people who post do so when they have a negative outcome. That said.... there are many . I for one would post something POSITIVE about an issue if it was my experience. Sorry about your story... but thanks for sharing. One thing we know on this forum is that the members are mostly real people , living or having lived in Thailand, and are generally honest about their medical experiences. Not so much regarding their sexual exploits 😅
  4. I like everything ( concise and factual ) about your posts . BUT, disagree with that one sentence above that i have quoted. Mainly because i do not have trust in Mainstreet "reliable medical sources" .. especially those almost exclusively presented on Google ,which are definitely biased ( the same sources always, and others censored) ,and as such readers can not get the full range of opinions from other medical sources. Maybe Kennedy will work to ensure that honest, uncorrupted "information" will once again be the norm. I will be talking through the issues with my urologist ...... who has not pushed Turp on me, so we will see. Thanks again for your input !
  5. Thanks Ray ! Actually i think your post was exactly what i am looking for . I want to hear about all experiences , just so I (and others) can get a better sampling of these procedures. Unfortunately , a few other cases posted over the years were not so successful . From your report... I would say that yours is very positive , and of course I am happy for you. One question i have is how long has it been since your OP ? I haven't even started meds yet ! Mainly concerned with side effects as my blood pressure has always been on the low side already. Hoping to hear from others .... but realistically may not be a lot because of the relatively small forum . Thanks again for taking the time . Stay well !
  6. This subject never gets old .... for those contemplating surgery for an enlarged prostate. Hopefully there are a number of members that can share their FAIRLY RECENT experiences. I have read past threads so please DO NOT repost old stories about what your doctor or friend told you , or give the Google or Youtube info which I and most others have seen for ourselves. Personal experiences of course vary ..... but rarely if ever have i read an account of someone who had prostate surgery and did not have complications. It would be really nice to hear at least one or two stories where its been a few years and all is well . Maybe i am hoping for too much 🙂 but....... worth a try . ( i have been to a good urologist... so also no need to tell me to go to one)
  7. What is the name of the good urologist who works at Bangkok Hospital in Chiangmai ? If anyone has personal experience with a good urologist working at another hospital in Chiangmai I would welcome that recommendation as well . thank you.......
  8. well, it is nice to know which members are on which side. would be nice to "drain the swamp" here ........... but of course that would not be allowed . haha . and so another day in Asia begins . good morning thaiiiiiiiland !
  9. rumak replied to jonesthepost's topic in Chiang Mai
    i think they mean the TYPE of visa as shown in your passport ( like a retirement ( O or OA or marriage) .... or work .... any long term visa.
  10. The anti Trump group here will never change . Fortunately a large majority in the States finally had seen enough. Enough of the so obvious lies and lawfare of a tyrannical government . I actually was surprised . Certainly these anti Trumpers here will not own up to possibly being the victims of a great media conspiracy to brainwash them. Anyone who can sit for 16 minutes should just listen to Tulsi Gabbard giving a great summation of what transpired over the last four years ( actually longer) . Just sit and listen ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Oi7spP6xk
  11. oops...... i meant LOI KRATONG !! i'm not even sure what date Loi Kratong is .....BUT, i am having difficulty getting through to the bank today , and i live out of the city
  12. Tried phoning with no success ........... anyone know the banks schedule ? I need Mi Chok Branch....
  13. SACRAMENTO, CA — In a statement intended to assuage the fears of Democratic voters throughout the state, Governor Gavin Newsom assured California will remain a galactic insane asylum to which other planets deport their lunatics. California residents who had fallen into despair following Trump's victory were relieved to hear that Governor Newsom California would remain a prison state “where we all are incarcerated, that is why it is useless to aspire for universal peace, since living here does not set such a goal, offered by Trump's return to the White House. Residents of the Golden State expressed thankfulness for Newsom steadfastly standing guard to protect everything that makes California what it is. "We're so grateful for his protection," said Betty Boop. "If it weren't for Governor Newsom's strength and determination, the day might come when we could leave our homes without paying exorbitant gas prices, being violently assaulted by unauthorized immigrants, or stepping in piles of homeless people’s <deleted>. God bless you, Gavin Newsom." At publishing time, the governor's office had announced Newsom's plan to declare California a sanctuary state for high taxes, inflation, child mutilation, and unrestrained illegal immigrants’ violent crimes. NOTE: i realize this is AN forum ..... so probably should say THIS IS SARCASM !! ( i have noticed that many with <removed> can not figure these things out )
  14. if you are the "alternative natural remedy type" ........ open and read many ideas on many ailments at https://www.earthclinic.com/ . works for me .........
  15. What you say is the truth . Read how many commenters can not even figure that out and you basically have a good idea of the intellect (lack of) lurking in this group.
  16. My chest is puffed out 😁 and so i am emboldened to comment ...lol Every "group" that I have come across in my many years ( more than half spent here since the ice ages without technology ) ...... when a farang and a thai lady could sit comfortably in a restaurant , not being able to communicate , and without the life saving device of facebook to plunge their faces into .... ah those were the days ..S... As i was saying... every group has a few nice folks that I like , and many more that i don't . Prolly true that getting older has something to do with that ( even the sport and hollywood stars of the past don't look to be feeling so good) . And of course all the energy which some had to live adventures when younger somehow fades away. No exceptions that i have seen . EXCEPT of course for the great stories and wisdom imparted anonymously on this forum by so many . I have met a few . Not so bad 🙂 But one just hates me . hahaha
  17. is this (Bruce Wayne) your first avatar here on AN/ thaivisa ?
  18. That was the same word (bias) that I was going to use . But, of course we can not go into more details ( or opinions) ............. for that very reason.
  19. Sorry immigration has it and I never made a copy I did go to a K bank and got the info ...... thanks for your reply
  20. Blondes and Football Football FINALLY makes sense.......... A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. ”Oh, I really liked it,” she replied, “especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.” Dumbfounded, he asked, “What do you mean?” “Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was “Get the quarterback! Get the Quarterback! I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!”
  21. i think the old saying "young, dumb, and full of cum " still applies in most cases. As far as advice : " i hate advice, unless i'm the one giving it . And i never give it.... cause nobody ever takes it " .
  22. Thanks Bob...... seems like the tough days are here again ! I agree about the "misuse" of the booking , by individuals and I am pretty sure that some agents grab dates randomly too ( the ones without a "back door" method ) . grrrrrrr............. you are pretty sure about the 90 day window though ?
  23. I am trying to figure out how many days the online immigration website will accept an ATTEMPT to book an appt. For example , when i look today ( the 12th of Oct ) ..... what day on the booking calender would be the latest day they allow one to TRY to book an appointment ? Since any date I click on says "nothing available on that date" .... well, what does one do ? I remember you saying you did it at 2 minutes after midnight ( which i once also did years ago) . But... i need to know what first chance to do that would be what date. Thanks ( in advance) also........ used to be some "help" for over 70 year olds. (i am able bodied). does that exist at CM immig any more ?
