  1. I had a MRI and the doctor saw some abnormalty in a  small area of the prostate and wants to investigate if it is cancerous or not to avoid further complications in the future. Had a turp operation for a large prostrate about 10 years ago

    With the same doctor and now I have a 5-year-old son. As you all know the prostate grows back again so I'm back with a large prostrate without symptoms but just started taking Finisterre again.

  2. I didn't understand the same as you so I sent an email to the embassy and they clarified. You put all the documents and your passport in a envelope then go to the Post office and send it to them preferably EMS or register mail so you can track it. They will send it to the US and when the passport is received by the embassy they will send you an email and a tracking number from Thai post. The embassy didn't notify me when they received my documents so I sent them an email to confirm they received it. So I am waiting for my passport

  3. I received mine also and mailed today via airmail. Last year sent it by airmail and the second one registered and   as far as the tracking never got there. But the regular airmail one was received.Got a receipt when I sent it today and it says us social security on it so I'm wondering is this receipt good enough for proof it was sent

  4. Anyone have experience renewing your  US passport in Bangkok. Is mailing to the embassy the only option these days or can you still submit your passport in person at the embassy. If mail is the only option how to survive without your passport during the processing as the passport is needed for many things such as going to the hospital. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  5. Been taking losartan 50 mg for about 2 weeks for high blood pressure and having some terrible side effects feel  weak chest pain tightness and overall lousy feeling. Feel like I have pressure when I'm walking.Tried stopping for one day and felt much better but the second day got chest pain so I started again as it says from the internet cannot stop abruptly. Anyone have experience taking this drug and any advice would be greatly appreciated

  6. What is the blood pressure range that medication is necessary. My blood pressure after a second reading averages about 135 but first reading sometimes around 145 average. My doctor a general doctor prescribed blood pressure medication because when I go to the hospital the pressure can go up to 150. So he prescribed medication for me. But I've been checking my blood pressure at home and its not bad 

    He told me that the new standard is about 120 for a normal blood pressure. Anything over is considered hypertension. How high was your blood pressure that you were  prescribed  medication. I haven't taken the medication as I am still  checking my readings and I am not sure I need medication. Any thoughts? Also my cholesterol and sugar is very good

  7. I had Turp surgery for enlarged prostate about 8 years ago and have been doing very well with no symptoms. My prostrate has been slowly growing back and now at PSA 3.5 but still doing okay. Start to worry it's growing and I may start having symptoms again as the surgery last about 8 years. Anyone out there have experience with this operation and how long have you been able to say symptom free

  8. I sent the first form 7162 by air mail post and after calling the social security office it was never received. I sent a second form after receiving a second notice by registered mail and after tracking it  after 2 months its still hasn't been delivered. I also faxed it. Last night I called social security and they told me again they have not received anything and said they may have received it but it hasn't been scanned into the system. I asked the Lady what should I do  and she said she will send me another form on Monday and then try mailing it again. She told me she will make a note in my file and as of this time they have not cut my benefits. When I ask her about how about the fax that I sent she said it's another department and it was never scanned into the system. Anyone have any suggestions what should I do
