Or not. Up to you. 

 

555 Love it!

Hello,

gf went to a small local dentist in Pattaya, the x-ray showed the need of the extraction of some wisdom tooth as well as a molar tooth.

The dentist said its a "complex extraction near the nerve" which he cant do, he recommended Pattaya Bangkok Hospital.

Bangkok Hospital seems to be the most expensive option, are there other clinics/dentist in Pattaya which can do this kind of complex extractions?

Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.

In the Titel he mentioned Bangkok 

Pain like pins and needles are characteristics for nerve pain/damage. I would go to a neurologist. First diagnostic step would propably be to do a Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studie to assess nerve damage or misfiring. 

In Bangkok BNH has a cannabis clinic with a neurologist on site. They seem to use the GPO medical cannabis products.

i use em for sleeping .uk supplies

Interesting that they work for you for sleeping, I assume you just take them as needed? The first couple of weeks they really nocked me out but now I don't get this effect anymore.

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I followed the suggestion to wait a bit and took ibuprofen. After a couple of days I feel better. 

Hello, 

Im looking for Amitryptyline 25mg GPO in Bangkok. I already been to Siam Pharmacy (Phloen Chit) but no luck. 

Hello, a couple of days ago I went to a Thai massage. Now I got pain in the left neck and shoulder plate. I also developed tingling and numbness on my left hand. 

Im getting worried and want to have it checked. 

Can you recommend a doctor to consult, if possible in bumrungrad as they have all my records etc. 

Thank you in advance. 

Are you Overweight? A fatty liver can cause the liver enzymes to raise. A ultrasound shows normal in the early stages.

Hello,

for some small issues like a common cold or even a flu people tend to go to pharmacy to get diagnosed and get the medication. In some cases I would feel more comfortable seeing a doctor without the need to go to the hospital. 

Are there any small Clinics you can recommend? Preferably soi buakhao or around central marina.

Thanks in advance.

Just some feedback for those interested in this issue I saw both Dr Suntchai at BNH and Dr Umaphorn at Bumrungrad (she is also at Sukhumvit Hospital I think) for consultation. They both seemed fairly knowledgeable about prostatitis/urethritis issues and understand the nuances of this difficult to diagnose and treat problem. They are both easy to talk to, explain their thinking well, and patient about listening to my lengthy disease history, especially Dr Suntchai. However their recommendations on further testing and treatment were different. One suggested MRI of the prostate the other cytoscopy for example, and their thinking on antibiotics was not the same either. Dr Umaphorn seems a bit more up to date, she knew very well about fosphomycin and suggested it as the next thing to try should my current treatment fail. Dr Suntchai seems a bit more "old school" but he seems very open and willing to discuss and research alternative treatments if you point him in the right direction. For anyone who has this sort of problem either of these doctors are probably among the best that we can do here in Thailand. Please note I have not actually started treatment with either of these doctors yet, these are my impressions from a single consultation.

Thank you for sharing in great detail! Appreciated Sir. 

@OneMoreFarang Did you ask your HR department (not the insurance) if they have some agreement with the insurance to keep existing conditions covered (normally with a high premium e.g +xx%) when leaving the group insurance and move to an individual plan? 

Sorry a bit off topic. In Europe the "baby aspirin" dosage for blood thinning purposes is mostly 100mg. Thailand and US seems to be 81mg. 

Why this difference and is it significant? 

I can recommend Dr. Suntchai Wirotsaengthong which is also on the list. He did by far the most diagnostic testing in my case after trying out other urologist before. 

I went to one of the Rheumatologist you recommended. Thanks again @Sheryl

Now the Rheumatologist recommend me to get a second view from a Hematologist. 

Any recommendations for a Hematologist at Bumrungrad which is experienced in the Antiphospholipid Syndrome / blood cloth?

For the compulsory insurance - you can get this from 7-11 (of Lotus's's's's or Big C) for 100 THB.  The insurance certificate has a tear off section along the bottom that is used by the DLT office for tax renewal.

 

With a bike - you don't need to queue up at the drive through lane, just drop into the DLT office, take a queue ticket for the tax (not the one for driving licence renewal, which can be a long queue), then hand over your insurance document and green book plus 100 THB for a small bike (107 THB for my 300), and 5 minutes later you'll get your tax sticker.

 

I went to the DLT office on Sukhumvit Road, tax renewal is on the upper floor, it took less than 10 minutes in total. 

 

Also possible to do the whole process in 7-11, but you need a Thai ID card, and you have to wait for the tax sticker, so better to go to the office.  All signage was in Thai, but it's easy to figure out the process, and staff were helpful.

 

Very helpful information, thank you a lot. Where is the DLT office on the sukhumvit road you mentioned? 

Indeed it was easy. I went to the nearest bike dealer and they will do it for me. However it will take 3 weeks until I can pick up the papers.

Hello,

about to do the first compulsory insurance & tax for my small motorbike. Nearest DLT is the on in Chatuchak (Bangkok).

With the car I always went through the drive through, but how if its done with the motorbike? Also can I get the compulsory motorbike insurance at the DLT?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

back in my home country they did a Lupus anticoagulant blood test which came back "slightly positive". They recommend a second test 12 weeks later which will be soon.

I'm looking for a doctor recommendation in Bangkok for the Antiphospholipid Syndrome, preferably in Bumrungrad as they have all my records there already.

The original test was done by a neurologist but online resources are pointing to a rheumatologist or hematologist for this condition. 

I'm sorry about your condition. You can try amitryptylin it is cheap as generics are available and you can take it for chronic nerve pain. 

Also Thiogamma 600, it might be expensive in Thailand but I want to have it mentioned as its especially used for diabetic neuropathy. I think it's more a supliment then a medicine. 

When you try new medication please consult a doctor for proper dosage.
