How was this discovered? Did you have actual stomach issues or did you just ask for specific tests? I’m already taking Magnesium Glycinate (together with L-theanine and L-tryptophan) before going bed.

I’m having worsening insomnia since almost two years now. Started with waking up early morning from worries/anxiety around my job. Now I wake up after 3-4 hours and spend the rest of the night tossing and turning with a bit of fragmented sleep and there. I’m lucky if I get 5-6 hours sleep on 8 hours in bed but it’s not quality sleep. I’ve tried all the sleep hygiene hacks but it doesn’t seem to work. I’m taking supplements (magnesium, L-theanine, L-tryptophan) and it doesn’t seem to help either. I bought expensive mattress toppers, I do sports 3-4 times a week, and I only drink a decaf in the morning. I tried SRT on my own and had some success but couldn’t stay awake any longer, and I feel like it has gotten worse since then. I’m really no fan of the idea of taking any sleep meds but at this point I feel like I have to. Looking for a sleep specialist in Bangkok who doesn’t just throw benzos at me. Don’t wanna take that drug with A (Ambien?) either. I see Doxepin, Trazodone, Mirtazapine and Gabapentin recommended by ChatGPT, or maybe an antihistamine to start with. any recommendations?

I’ve been dealing with increasingly severe burnout, anxiety, depressive mood, and worsening insomnia since a year or more now. Situation at work has been turning increasingly toxic and I feel like they’re trying to make me resign—I’m not getting work anymore, am not being invited to meetings/task as usual, and responsibilities that used to be mine go to others. If I get breadcrumbs of a task, I’m being put under a microscope with someone breathing on my neck looking for mistakes or framing judgement calls as mistakes. I started waking up in the early morning hours with anxiety and worries and this has turned into severe insomnia and I barely get 5 hours of fragmented sleep. I need a break but I’m not willing to let go of the severance, which is quite substantial and something I’ve worked for and earned over the years. Are there any hospitals that would issue an extended sick leave due to burnout, stress etc.? The longer the better.

Thanks. Seems like the doctor moved to Medpark: https://www.medparkhospital.com/en-US/doctors/dr-nattakarn-hosiriluck-dds

Thanks for the additional info, but this is a must for me.

Thanks for the recommendation. Could you share your experience with them?

Ah, great. What dentist does it for that cheap? I couldn’t find any for less than 30-50k.

That’s not the same type of mouthpiece that’s used for sleep apnea. It’s probably a mouth guard for people who bite and scratch with their teeth during sleep.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea but couldn’t get used to the CPAP machine. The doctor recommended to try a mouthpiece instead. The hospital has its own dentist on site who would charge 50,000 Baht for the mouthpiece. Apparently my company’s insurance doesn’t cover this. Can you recommend any dentists in Bangkok who specialize in this?

Is that what the field is asking for, “country of passport”?

I doubt that will be needed but let’s see. Not if I can avoid it.

As clear as “country of residence”? See above. Sure. But if I can avoid it, I will. Like I said, guess I’ll just have to try my luck. My guess is that no one will give a <deleted> when I show up with PR but no form.

Nope. Never did that since I have PR.

Yeah.

Seems also “simple” and “clear” that PR isn’t mentioned on the priority or Thai national lanes, yet PR holders can use those lanes. Likewise, the term “Country of Residence”also seems “simple” and “clear”, yet I can’t select Thailand. If what they write really was so “simple” and “clear”, a PR holder would have to fill it in because he’s not a Thai national, but he can’t fill it in because his country of residence is Thailand. I guess I’ll just go to the lanes for Thai nationals without this form and see what happens.
