  1. \ Need help, suggestions Please? Maybe start at the beginning, as a kid maybe 8 had what was called a back boil, my Mother would mix bread and warm water put in a cloth on my back, every day, months later went to the Hospital, forget what they did but ended up with a deep black hole.. All my life had that hole deep and black about the size of a 2 baht coin but no problems About 3 years ago started to get puss + blood coming out 2 or 3 times a week, for the last year or so every single day.. have seen 5 different Dr’s both at Government Hospital and at a Private Hospital… All appear the same answer, it is a abscess go to A&E and get it dressed every day… the Private Hospital gave me Antibiotics {cannot take Penicillin] Government Hospital no not sell only have Penicillin, so must go to Pharmacy… again get it dressed every day, problem with this the tape is no good at the Hospital and falls off within 1 hour. = blood/Puss on shirt and bedding.. 6 months ago the Dr gave me a few 1lt bottles of ‘Sodium Chlorine irrigation’ fluid to clean the wound every day + get from a Pharmacy and use ‘Dermatix’ wound care cream + cover with DuoDERM patch.. Appears nothing works + 5 lots of Antibiotics + 1,000s of baht of creams and dressings = Blood every day Tried searching abscess on the Web but all appears for a few days or a week or so, not for daily problems for years ! Got to see a Dr again next week [my 90 day appointment] anyone any idea what to ask ??? Sick of different Drs looking then saying the same thing.
  2. back in the 1950's cars with big grills were called Glamorous Grilles
  3. So true, Maybe every person going to a Dr or Hospital should have a blood test ? maybe more are these days = record numbers of so say new cases ? Myself 1991 visited the Dr on a number of occasions + had a Opp in Hospital 3 day stay, about a month later visited the Dr about a different ongoing matter, one look said I had advanced yeast infection so test were done, yep I was Diabetic, likely been so for years. Back then did not know anything about Diabetes, these days more people are aware of it as are Dr's so run checks
  4. I think wrong Great Wall Motors acquired the plant from General Motors in 2020 GWM make Hybrid and Full electric motors there, the Oro Cat rolled off the line in Jan full EV I remember is was in the News Believe the BYD Thailand production line is near ready 150,000 cars per years EV's and Hybrids
  5. Had varifocal lenses for many years, last new pair bought here 20 years ago @ 21,000 baht... frames fell to bits within 2 years managed to find a place that sold frames and cut the lenses to fit while I waited for the last 12 years have bifocals on the 3 rd pair hate them, never got used to the sudden cut off no in between, do have a pair of reading glasses always at home + a pair mid range only use if eyes are bad for PC/TV etc.. [Monitor is 34" curved so mostly no need for glasses] Tested for years at Chula Hospital [Red Cross] present pair cost 1,200 baht, with Frames and bifocals and tests with prescription.
  6. I had expected this colour when I renewed mine in 2018, but I got a red one... Valid to May 2029 with the added months because I renewed early I read somewhere Red UK Passport will not be accepted in some places/Countries ?? I still have over 4 years to run on mine Confused ??
  7. When I lived in Germany went to a Dentist his surgery was at his home in Berlin, you really have no idea what they do, years later had a problem in the same area, another Country the Dentist was shocked, the German Dentist had drilled and filled all 4 back lower teeth as one so impossible to repair just one,. so lost 4 teeth in one go.
  8. Why Implants, they are far to expensive... maybe 20 - 30 years ago would have had this option, but not offered now at 74 not worth it. They use to do Cemented pins with a Crown on top, but where where is this done these days ? I have 3 Cemented pins + 2 bridges done in a Hospital in Bangkok 20 years ago, never any problem and are still fine now have 2 broken teeth + the 1 remaining tooth of my 'own' need sorting, have been to a number of Dentists, all are the same have Implants or plastic plate = 200,000 baht or 20,000 baht.. asking for Cemented pins they look at me as if I'm mad, the 2 broken teeth are no problem as no bottom tooth there so not needed, + broke off 6 years ago the other about 4 years ago = Dentist said no pain or problem just leave then there.. just need 1 x tooth to replace my only 'own' remaining one at the front... If a Cemented pin crown is still perfect after 20 years why not another ?
  9. last year at my local Government Hospital, Dentist looked [back upper tooth] said out, injection 5 mins later pulled it out, Dentist young guy looked about 16 !! Total bill 320 baht............ always used local private Dentist b4 every visit no matter what was done 800 - 1,000 baht
  10. Good idea Main problem for me, I have the main blood work/urine tests done 1 x year = need to go to the Hospital, {I do FBS + BP tests at home every day for past 15 years] the rest of the time I need only my medications and Insulin, repeat prescription .. but 'can not' must see Dr Why ? waiting takes hours even at my local Village Hospital, repeat prescription would be far less people waiting to see Dr = reducing hospital queues + Dr work load
  11. If I am going to a shop near where I live which has shoes off then will go with slip on shoes Normally when I go out will wear my Diabetic shoes = need a chair to sit to take them off/on, not possible to take them off standing with my sticks, so will stand at the door and get staff to come to me and run around getting what I want.. Dentist always come to me at the door and take my shoes off for me when I arrive + put them back on when done... So not a real problem
  12. Find a Company Directors 10 year old car = good buy... Eg Audi A6 New 3.6 million.......... 1 owner 10 year old Company Directors car around 550,000 baht at todays prices mine had 110,000 km, it was perfect condition + very little problem in the following 10 years I owned it + lost 100.000 baht in the 10 years I owned it.
  13. No idea what is wrong with white hair ? No idea why some older folk have a blue tint dyed hair, In UK appeared to norm years ago but here, in my little Village there are 2 men [next door he is 78 and 5 houses up he is 92] + 1 lady also 80 with blue tint hair.... Is Blue hair better then white ? Guy in the big house in his 50s changes hair colour every couple of weeks, from jet black to pure white and just about every other colour there is.
  14. Need Cataracts removed in both eyes, but until it is a big problem then wait until such time says eye Dr [Both at Chula and Eye Hospital Pinkloa] Chula [Red Cross] said 13 - 15,000 baht per eye, No overnight for the Op, + best to have other eye done 3 weeks later You have a big white eye pad stuck over eye then go back following day..... The question would be returning home... = walk to underground + underground 45 min + Purple line to end = another 45 mins + Taxi 30 + mins + same going back next day.... Maybe get Hotel room nearby
  15. Did have hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg + enalapril 20 mg .. but present Hospital do not have so put on Losartan Reason Changed to Local Hospital when Covid started, going into BKK via Taxi + Purple Line + Underground + busy Hospital all the crowds was a no no..
  16. extended release metformin = Hospital do not have, = more expensive at cheaper Pharmacy many km away.... [Did try 1000mg extended release buying myself for 2 months but made no difference] Insulin the only type the Hospital have 30/70 mix, no Pharmacy in a wide area stock any Insulin, [only Expensive Private Hospitals + will not sell unless you have seen a in house Dr first] so have little option unless do a 110 km round trip to Rama 4 Pharmacies Yes BP med's have been missing them out the odd days. but miss for 2 or 3 days = 190/120 + there are so many that have severe allergic reaction to, so a bit difficult + very limited range the Hospital stock
  17. regular 2 x 850mg 2 years ago reduced from 3 a day [from 1991 - 2015 was on 500 MG x 5 per day, then early 2015 reduced to 3 x 850 mg a day + Insulin . then in 2022 reduced 2x a day, Insulin also been reducing] Not all episodes a month are BS..... Some are BP sudden drops likewise Meds have been reducing........ 21:00 last night felt bad/light headed, could not stand = BP 102/45 OK ish this morning 101/57... was on Losartan 100 mg + some others, but over the past year has been reduced to Losartan 25 mg the others stopped No idea if makes a difference ? Dr keeps adding Vitamin's Vitamin B12 1 x day + Vitamin D 2 20000U 1x week + Vitamin B CO ED 2 x day + Fish Oil 1000 mg 1x day + Vitamin B 1- 6 1 x day + newest last month Vitamin B 6 - 12 3 x a day + Vitamin A 10000U 1 x a day
  18. That's my 3rd HYPO in 6 years time and I hope the last. wish I could say the same, for past 15 or so years have at least 3 Hypo per month, sometimes 3 in a week and then it is down to between 60 and 70.. wet with Sweeting and the shakes = Very Low = warm milk and Honey I am Diabetic Lada 1.5 so take Metformin + Insulin.. dosage = what my BS reading is If it is low say 80 - 90 feel light headed blurred have no idea it it is BS or BP, Blood Pressure also give the same feeling so must test both and yes over the years had very low BP
  19. Not sure if it is what your looking for Used for years Bluestacks everything on Android can then work of Windows perfect + is FREE https://www.bluestacks.com/
  20. No idea what Marketplace is,,,,, looked it uo Google says Marketplace Thailand, for second-hand items also Shopee .. I am not looking for 2nd hand stuff + would never buy 2nd hand electrical stuff from Advice : Computer Set AMD RYZEN 5 7600 which is the New 7000 series with AM 5 motherboard + DDR 5 the full Computer set with same day delivery is very little more + 3 year warranty
  21. not a very good answer if you want Thai.. Lenovo Group of China is the world's largest maker of personal computers. NUC also has the address Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. So what are - 'other well known mini pc'. ? As a matter of interest the CPU Ryzen 7600X is made in china !!!! as are many others. AMD in 2022 took the made in in Taiwan labels off. ? Maybe try the USA guess make in Mexico via USA website?
  22. Looking at the Ryzen Mini PC...... China = 11 - 12.000 baht + FREE delivery........... same mini PC make and spec 21- 23,000 baht + delivery charge already in Thailand Is the Thai sellers buying from China and doubling the price ? Where would you buy ?
  23. In general, it's a great idea to reboot the main internet router every couple of months. A router reboot can fix certain Internet connectivity issues, from no Internet connectivity to slow wireless connections, and should be one of your first troubleshooting steps in a home or consumer environment
  24. I rust Advise + they have shops everywhere, bought many things from them over past 20 years Delivered the same day as you order https://www.advice.co.th/product/notebook/notebook-asus as you can see a 15.6 i3 12th Gen Intel start at 12,xxx baht the i.5 12 th Gen 15.xxx baht All have Windows 11 installed
