Cheers, the AC bedroom unit as far as I can see has no actual '' reset switch '' but the AC unit user guide says to reset the AC unit, turn off the power for at least 10 Minuets , which I have done, but still no luck. -

Cheers , in the past when Ive used the hand held remote control, the temperature shown on the hand held remote control , was always the same as shown on the AC units display , and the requested temperature shown on the AC display always matched. Ive had a look at the outside AC condenser wall mounted unit, and power washed the fan , and it seems to be working ok. when the bedroom AC unit is displaying the 31 °C , the air blowing from the AC units fan is cold. -

Thanks , I pulled out both sensors and cleaned them , But I'm not sure if some where on the AC unit there may be another sensor that detects the actual room temperature . -

Thanks , when the AC unit is showing ( some times 33 or 31 ) but the remote is set at ( 19 °C) the AC unit starts to blow out cold air , not sure about the ( Could the display be toggling between set point and actual room temperature? ) . -

Now you tell me -
I have a Samsung Air conditioner ( Samsung 12000BTU inverter Model AR13TYHZCWKX ) in my bedroom. Its been working fine until a few days ago . Now when I switch the AC unit on using the hand remote control , and set the temperature to say 19 °C the AC starts and shows the temperature of 19 °C , but without me doing any thing , within a few seconds the AC digital readout changes to show 31 °C . So no matter what I try using the hand held remote control ( changing the temperature / different cooling mode Etc ) the AC unit always shows 31°C . So I decided to take the AC unit apart and clean every thing ( using a power washer ) thinking that the stuck 31°C temperature was being caused by dirt / dust. After cleaning the AC, the stuck 31°C temperature issue is still there. Thinking that the 31°C temperature issue , may be due to a dirty temperature sensors , I cleaned the 2 sensors ( attached to the cooling coil ) but doing that had no effect. The company where I purchased the AC unit from and installed it , is around 180 Km round trip, and I live in a small village that has one back street shop that sells AC units, and Ive met the shops so called AC technician , hence wanting to try and track down the bedroom AC 31°C temperature issue my self. So after reading about my AC unit problem , has any one an idea what I could try next myself. Link to my video showing the problem ......... https://streamable.com/41n7dm Thanks .

My symptoms of pain - seeking advice .
Bill Poster replied to Bill Poster's topic in Health and Medicine
Thanks Sheryl The more I think about it , I'm getting even more convinced that the pain I am currently suffering from is because I have shingles ( herpes zoster ) and the more I read about shingles , the more I'm starting to become worried and stressed out , especially what the future may hold. -

Thanks, if the actual pain is being caused by shingles and not the spine , that should mean once the shingles has cleared up , and I can can stop the shingles drugs , then the pain should stop ? -

Thanks Sheryl While the hospital doctor was examining my left arm , he noticed an area of red spots , but never commented after seeing them. A day after my visit to the hospital , those red spots started to cover more area on my left arm , so I decided to visit the local clinic and show those red spots to the doctor. The doctor immediately said that the spots were due to a viral infection , and prescribed a drug called '' Aciclovir '' 800mg , along with some topical ointment called '' Mupirocin ''. While talking to the local clinic doctor about my red spots , the doctor mentioned that these type of red spots ( which I think is '' shingles '' ) may produce a type of nerve pain symptom , that is similar to the trapped nerve pain the hospital doctor diagnosed . So after hearing what the local clinic doctor said about the possibility of my red spots ( viral infection ) producing similar nerve pain symptoms , Vs the symptoms the hospital doctor diagnosed ( Trapped nerve ) , I'm now wondering which medical condition , Red spot area ( viral infection ) Vs ( neck trapped nerve pain ) , is the actual cause and culprit of the pain Below is from the internet ..... [ However, you can have shingles that do not produce a rash and merely present as pain. The pain is very like the pain you would experience from nerve damage. You can have numbness, tingling, and burning from the shingles, and this may lead some to believe that the pain is from a pinched nerve ] Could it have been that I was suffering from '' shingles '' before I went to see the hospital doctor , and that condition was producing the nerve type pain , and not the neck problem. I'm a bit confused.🙄 Thanks. -

Thanks, The doctor only prescribed 4 Clonazepam tablets , only to be used as necessary , And like yourself I think those Clonazepam tablets ( which I have been. taking ) may be the cause of me feeling a little drunk. I am now going to stop taking those Clonazepam tables , and see what the difference may be. The other thing I forgot to attach was the X-ray report which I have now included.( photograph X ) Thanks -

HI Sheryl. Ive only just read your recommendation , I decided to make a trip to Nakhon Ratchasima and seek medical attention fro St Mary's hospital , which I had used many years ago. Below is an outline of what happened . When we arrived at the St Mary's hospital in Korat , it was was around 8AM. I had a St Mary's membership card and I gave that to the receptionist . We had to wait until the Orthopaedic doctor arrived at the hospital at 9 AM. My blood pressure + height + weight was taken , then I had to outline to a nurse what my exact problem was. We were taken to the Orthopaedic doctors waiting room , and again I had to outline to the Orthopaedic doctor's medical nurse assistance , just what my symptoms were. The Orthopaedic doctor arrived at 9AM , and a few minuets later we were shown into the Orthopaedic doctor office. The male doctor must have been in his early 30s . and he spoke good English ( which was a bonus ) . I went over my symptoms with the doctor , next he had me do some physical movements with my hands and arms , while doctor held both my arms . The doctor said that he thought my problem was related to a trapped or damaged nerve , some where in my neck region . So the doctor said that for him to diagnose my problem in more detail , I would need either an X-ray or a MRI Scan So off to the X-ray department .where a scan of both my front of chest + a scan of my neck area ( with my head looking upwards ) were taken. Back to the Orthopaedic doctor's office waiting area . We sat there for about 15 minuets , then we were taken into the doctors office, the doctor then went to his large computer monitor screen and pulled up both of my recent X-rays .I was sitting close to the doctor's computer monitor, and the doctor turned the computer monitor so that I could better see my X-rays . When I saw the X-ray impinges of my neck area , I was shocked and lost for words ( which is unusual for me ) In my mind after seeing the graphic X-ray images , I instantly thought the Orthopaedic doctor is going to say some thing like , your going to be paralysed in a few months, or I'm going to need major surgery on my neck and spine , which could makes thing better or possibly worse . The Orthopaedic doctor went on to say the spinal neck area shown in the X-ray, where it shows wear and tear , is quite common in people of my advance age. I then asked the doctor several questions about my apparent damaged neck vertebrae and what the future holds. He said that although my neck vertebrae appeared in worn condition , at this stage the best route would be to use a combination of drugs as shown below ( which he prescribed ) . 1. Gabapentin ( Gabapentin is approved to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) that results from nerve damage ) 2. Norgesic ( Norgesic (orphenadrine citrate, aspirin and caffeine) is a combination of a muscle relaxant, a pain reliever, and caffeine which increases the pain relieving effects of the other drugs, used, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions.) 3. Celebrex . ( Celebrex is a medication that treats mild to moderate pain and inflammation. It treats conditions like arthritis. 4. Clonazepam . ( Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine medication used to prevent and treat anxiety disorders, seizures, bipolar mania, agitation associated with psychosis, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and akathisia. It is a long-acting tranquillity of the benzodiazepine class. ( To help me sleep ). After talking to the Orthopaedic doctor about my symptoms and him showing my X-ray images, the doctor then suggested that I now while in the hospital , to go to the medical rehabilitation room. Where I could have some type of electronic pressure therapy ( description may be lost in Translation ) So off I went to the medical rehabilitation room. Once inside the medical rehabilitation room, I was asked to put on a surgical gown and lay on a bed . The nurse read the details from the Orthopaedic doctor and asked me to lay on my side. The nurse then said that she is going to run and press the handheld device over my skin ( the areas of pain ) and I will feel light pulses of electricity and possibly a tingling sensation in the skin areas being being touched by the handheld device . I did feel an electric tingling sensation where ever the nurse was touching my skin with the handheld device .After around 10 minuets of that treatment , I was asked to lay on my back and a hot round pillow was placed under my neck area . I was told that I had to stay motionless for 20 minuets. After the 20 mindsets were over , I got dressed and the nurse guided us ( my self and Thai Wife ) to the counter were payment and prescribed drugs are issued.. While under going an X-ray, I did ask to be given a copy of the X-rat taken, which I received . So the bottom line seems to be that to control the substantial pain I have to take the Orthopaedic doctor's drug prescription and see how it woks out and then return to see the doctor on December 27th. .so far over a few nights I have taken all the prescribed drugs , and they have reduced the pain I was having by at least 90%. so now its a matter of wait and see how things progress. The side effects I'm now experiencing from taking the prescribed drugs, are a feeling of being a little drunk , and a bit unsteady on my feet, so currently I spend a lot of time laying in bed. The cost involved in a consultation with the Orthopaedic doctor was... Outpatient Medication - 960 Baht Stranded diagnosis imaging - 850 Baht Physical therapy (electric shock treatment ) 1,050 Baht First outpatient care - 650 Baht Other medical chargees - 150 Baht Total cost - 3,660 Baht MRI Scan = 10,000.00 Baht ( which I did not have ) I was told by the doctor not to get involved with any activity that may put a strain on my head or neck area. I did not feel any benefits from having the'' electric '' rubbing treatment Photographs included . 🙏 Comments welcome. 🙏 -
My symptoms of pain - seeking advice .
Bill Poster replied to Bill Poster's topic in Health and Medicine
Hi and thanks, The only current symptoms I have are these... I have a feeling of a dull aching pain starting from the tip of my Left thumb , then travailing only under my Left arm , up to under my arm pit , ( which feels a little soar to the touch , but no marks on the skin ) then the dull aching pain travels up to the top of my Left shoulder , then along the top of my collar bone area , to a small area just under the rear of my Left ear. The above dull aching pain symptoms are continuous all the time . One thing I forgot to mention in my original post was , some years ago I badly cut my Left thumb ( where the current dull aching pain starts from ) and it needed stitches . After that Left thumb was stitched up , it always and still does feel a little numb to the touch . I am planning a trip to see a hospital doctor , I'm wondering after a doctor hears my symptoms , what sort of routine tests , may be involved. The nearest large city to where I live would be Nakhon Ratchasima . Thanks -

Thanks, thats frightening , Ive had the same dull pain for over Four days now , so I was just thinking about the problem only being a trapped nerve . -
First I know that I should visit a doctor, but as the nearest city hospital doctor is a days journey away , before I make that trip , I thought I would ask here first to see if there's any thing I can possibly do / get an idea / relive my symptoms / any one had similar symptoms. I am 76 years old and in general good health . Four days ago I went to sleep at nigh time feeling fine , the next day when I awoke in the morning and got out of bed and stood up , then I could feel what I can describe as a dull ache / mild pain sensation ( not tingling ) that seemed to run in a line from the tip of my Left hand thumb and along under my left arm , up to the top of my left shoulder , then from the top of the left shoulder , up to just under the back of my Left ear. Currently the dull ache feeling is mainly situated around my left shoulder area. Currently I'm taking ibuprofen / paracetamol , which seems not to be making much of a difference I have not recently been physically active , so I think I can rule out an injury related cause . Other than the current symptoms , I'm feeling fine . I was wondering if my current symptoms could be due to a trapped nerve ( pinched nerve ) some where , that with time may subside and disappear on its own. So at this stage I'm wondering if there's any alternatives to ibuprofen / paracetamol , to reduce the constant dull pain that I'm experiencing , just to see if my symptoms slowly go away . Any advice or suggestions . Thanks 🙏 .

First many thanks to every one for your comments , its much appreciated. So I thought I would update our situation about Poo , its been 19 days since I last outlined Poo's condition and in those 19 days Poo's condition has sadly deteriorated to a point now where she has lost a considerable amount of weight , due to not wanting to eat any type of food , just drink water. As for the constant night time barking and panting , after giving Poo a range of drugs and cannabis oil , the night time barking started to become less and less, to a point where we as a family could finally get some sleep. The effect of giving Poo a mixture of drugs and cannabis oil , slowly wore off and Poo's night time barking sessions returned. Apart from the weight loss , due to Poo not wanting to eat , I noticed for the first time a lump on Poo's body , that lump under the skin was the size of a golf ball and felt soft to the touch. So on finding that soft lump on Poo's body I took Poo back to the local vet , where I explained to the vet about Poo not eating along with her weight loss and now finding the lump . The vet seemed to think the lump on Poo's body was possibly a benign fatty growth under the skin , but to make sure a biopsy needed to be carried out , which the local vet could not do. Outlining Poo's now deteriorating condition to the vet ( age / dementia / weight loss / lump / refusing to eat / difficulty in standing up or walking / constant barking at night time ) I asked the vet about the possibility of euthanizing Poo , so she would no longer be suffering from constant pain or the debilitating effects of dog dementia . The vet seemed to side step the subject of euthanizing Poo , and said in so many words , let nature take its course . Once back home I asked my Thai wife to telephone several city based vets and explained the situation about Poo and inquire if they would be willing to euthanize our Poo . None of those city vets seemed to be in favor of carrying out the practice of euthanizing Poo. So currently Poo is refusing to eat any thing and loosing weight , the lump under her skin seems to be growing in size and she cannot easily stand up or walk very far , she has returned to constantly barking at night time and now in the day time as well. She just lays on the tiled floor , constantly barking and panting . I am still giving Poo the range of drugs ( crush the drugs and mix with water and then use a syringe placed in her mouth ) . Its breaking my heart to see our Poo in such obvious pain and destress along with having a personal feeling of helplessness . I'm hoping to locate a vet who would be willing to put our beloved Poo to sleep . As I type this , in the back ground I can hear Poo barking and panting , it sounds like she is asking to be put out of her misery I'm sure that if I owned a gun I would have pulled the trigger by now . .

Well I purchased a pain killer drug that I had not given Poo before ( meloxicam ) and last night I gave Poo that new drug, So last night after being given the meloxicam drug, Poo did not bark at any time during the night or early morning . I was surprised that Poo did not bark at all last night. So currently it seems that changing the pain medication to meloxicam has some how stopped Poo from constantly barking throughout the night . Weather Poo now not constantly barking ( after taking meloxicam ) is just a one off occurrence thing , I will not know until I give Poo the meloxicam drug , again tonight and see the outcome. Poo lives out side in her own kennel and has been a great guard dog . When Poo was constantly barking and I approach her , she instantly stops barking for a few minutes while I stand there, but then she will start her barking again even if I stand in front of her. So last night Poo was given Prozac ( to help her sleep ) + meloxicam ( to reduce her pain ) . This morning I place a bowl of her favorite food in front of her ( Liver + Tuna ) and she surprisingly ate it all. So could the root cause of Poo's constant barking actually be due to her feeling pain from her arthritis and may be nothing to do with dog dementia . .
