  1. Maybe check Ménière Disease or Ménière Medication you will get what your looking for. when I search on Google nothing comes up about Fish ??
  2. Sometimes even often there are other people who have the same type of problem, so you can get a good idea how they over came it... Problem everywhere not just Thailand, many Drs have there own ideas some not of the problem but there idea as to what meds you need to take.... eg: Many years ago went to see my Dr many times, his idea was maybe was my Diabetic Meds after about 5 visits, phone for another appointment but asked to see his wife also a Dr.. 1few days later had an operation .. [before PC's or Forums] Here a few years ago had a problem after many visits to the Dr by then in a wheelchair, asked on here, one reply stood out and did a web search = my problem was the prescribed Med's which the Dr changed, so was a big thank you to a readers posted reply
  3. In resent weeks getting a lot of balance, lightheaded, feeling going to pass out... have a BP meter at home so is 1st thing to check, normal is between 11:30 to 13:00 time get the problem, stopped taking BP meds, in the morning a month ago but still the same... get up between 6 - 7am BP is around 135/75 + yet around 11 am feel strange lightheaded is down to 95/58.. If BP is OK then 2nd check is Blood Sugar. appears to have the same effect if to low, appears to go to low sometimes [On Insulin Diabetic many many years]
  4. what I understand from Bangkok Bank, it stopped working on my Android 9 and Android 10 smartphones = had to go into a Branch = still will not work. REASON they say.. For security, Bangkok Bank Banking can be used with a mobile phone or tablet with supported operating system version 11. or above .. I do not need a newer Android phone !! ?? . So far NO problem with my SCB app. just a pain have to go to ATM and transfer money into SCB to pay water + electric and Internet every month
  5. Old Lady in the Village has one bought, from local Pharmacy under 2,000 baht
  6. 'have you considered an electric carriage' how do they go up/down steps and stairs ? as that is the main problem
  7. Not sure these days is cheaper to build your own ? How about something like this https://www.jib.co.th/web/product/readProduct/64460/1400/COMPUTERSET-JIB-MARU-2401008 11.800 baht or https://www.advice.co.th/product/computer-set-intel/set-intel/คอมประกอบ-advice-computer-set-intel-i228-i3-13100-no-vga 11,350 baht Shops everywhere so no problems.. The Intel i5 is classed as a gaming rig why would you need ? Myself am a AMD man, Never had Intel ever.. many Desktops + Laptop over the years. https://www.advice.co.th/product/computer-set-amd/set-amd/คอมประกอบ-advice-computer-set-amd-a140-ryzen-5-5600g-no-vga 10.750 baht more than meets your needs ? or even this one https://www.jib.co.th/web/product/readProduct/64451/1400/COMPUTERSET-JIB-MARU-2401001 8,990 baht on AMD 'G' after the CPU number = onboard graphics NO VGA needed
  8. Because of disability problems been using a walking stick for over 24 years.. If you need one remember if you have a normal stick/cane = you have only 1 hand as the other is holding the stick/cane = nothing but a pain forever falling on the floor About 6 years ago bought this one https://www.lazada.co.th/products/3-hospro-walking-stick-4-h-ws9321-i2275909994.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.55.4b0027e1d0MTVW it is perfect for my needs, can let go and it stands there I do have a older one with has 3 feet but far to wide so never use other than on bad days in the garden, have a very old walking frame came from the Hospital, never use, as the above 4 feet smaller type suits my needs fine. There are many different types look to see what is best for you... normal folding stick with wrist belt ? normal folding stick with large base ? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/1-adjustable-fold-walking-stick-i150215468.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.23.4da750bdKvOCE6 or https://www.lazada.co.th/products/folding-walking-cane-with-led-i322882603.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.21.4da750bdKvOCE6 just some ideas there are so many
  9. Likewise I buy what I am legally required to have. Insurance is a business to make money not pay it out.. I found out the hard way many years ago
  10. I have a Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite, mine is nothing like a iPad !! ? Samsung Galaxy A7 I hate it, as the months go by keep saying to myself stick the sim back into my VIVO, I keep my VIVO [Android 10] charged, maybe one day with change back or get a Newer Vivo For the OP maybe search 'refurbished iPad Thailand' remember seeing a few years ago Apple stores here selling refurbished items
  11. Agreed but for some it has become impossible to do yourself, sick. disabled just old age... Heard from a guy yesterday he is in his 90's and has no option but use a Agent as he is living at his home and cannot get out. anyway he said the 'New' item the Agent needs is extra photo's 1 x showing in bed another sitting
  12. on Lazada https://www.lazada.co.th/products/apc-performance-surgearrest-6-outlets-1836-joules-i4640654500-s19067067732.html?
  13. As Crossy says - Different requirements mean different animals. UPS EATON 9E3000i looks good but is 24,900 baht with 3 years onsite warranty [there are far more expensive ones] APC Back Up Pro UPS BR1500GI @ 15,950 baht down to 1,000 baht. you must 1st work out what you need + found on cheaper ones the battery life is poor [4 - 500 baht every 6 months could work out expensive, where a 3,000 baht UPS maybe will last 2 -3 years before replacing the battery] if home use have you though about something like this [also more expensive + cheaper models] https://shopee.co.th/APC-อุปกรณ์รางปลั๊กกันไฟกระชาก-รุ่น-PMS53U-TH-Home-Office-SurgeArrest-5-Outlet-3-Meter-Cord-with-5V-2.4A-2-Port-USB-Charger-230V-(เต้าเสียบ-5-ช่อง-สายไฟยาว-3-เมตร-ช่อง-USB-2-พอร์ต)-i.406439659.22835506078
  14. drugs like enalapril are dirt cheap at pharmacies. YES as are most Med's problem is asked many Pharmacies around here No one sells Insulin, to go to say Rama 4 cheaper Pharmacies is 3 + hour trip + a lot more expensive than a Government Hospital Pharmacy price
  15. enalapril 20 mg took for over 20 years years Gliclazide 80 mg took for over 20 years years - Dr back in the 90's said it was better for the kidneys [diabetic drug] Atenolol 50 mg took for over 20 years years Diabetic Metformin took for over 20 years years is just in resent years that the Med's have been changed so much is it possible you were dehydrated when the sample was taken YES could be Blood work days is NO Food or Drink from 8 pm, tests done about 13 hours later. on a light note Sai Noi Hospital has changed a lot over the years, now has walls and Dr rooms + Computers + have beds for In care, as of last month now have ticket machine and a display to look out for your number.. and are still building another new block... back in the day it was like a large barn with a tin roof and all open sided
  16. Thank you for your help Not sure but appears all Hospitals are the same both Government + Private, you see a Dr can be different Dr every visit.. 2015 very bad - local Hospital said had to be taken to a Big Hospital. [as Next door works at Red Cross was taken there] 1st few visits after coming out of Hospital = different Dr every visit [in my mind] all had diffident ideas to Med's and so they changed almost every visit... asking for just 1 Dr the next years always had the same Dr more or less the same Med's prescribed every 3 months Then came Covid = 90 mins each way on public transport + many hours in a crowded Hospital not safe, so went to the local Government Hospital at Sai Noi mostly see the same Dr every visit [in my mind] small Village Hospital do not carry the same Med's as a big Hospital, + only have 1 x size of mg = I am forever cutting tablet to about the correct mg dosage..... sometimes they have run out of a Pill and get given something different - Hospital Pharmacy say is the same thing ? ******** Yes still taking Losartan 25mg reduced from 100mg last month plus Yes they have added Manidipine 20mg On the Prescription says Zosin on the blister packs says Doxa-zosin 2mg Another Pill was suddenly stopped Atenolol 50 mg per day - I have had a mild Stroke years ago + a minor Hart Attack [had in my mine that this was the pill to help + lower BP] ? Alarming last month was the blood work - have been fine with Stage 5 CKD in 2015 down to stage 2 until last month where it was again Stage 4.. I do Not have Salt or Soda and very little Red Meat, so no idea why it has gone up.
  17. How high is your BP? up and down, this morning 135/70..... Monday 154/77 - Tuesday was 99/54 the constant changing of Med's is confusing Used to take Prescribed enalapril for years then over passed 5 years no end of different ones, then losartan 100 mg, this has been reduced last month to 25 mg day [Hospital only have 100 mg so must cut in 4] New Manidipine 20 mg, + Zosin 2 mg also reduced from 2x to 1 x a day end last month.. Atenolol 50mg has been stopped by Dr NHS Website shows losartan + hydrochlorothiazide is good + I have had them before So no idea if replacing the Manidipine with hydrochlorothiazide is good or bad... I do know that the Hospital do not have hydrochlorothiazide. next appointment is end of Jan 2024
  18. I find all Dr here are the same, your doing well but they have to change insulin dosage + a pill or 2 every year So 100% not sure it the reduced Insulin units + 2 new pills [2 old ones stopped] + 2 others mg per day reduced is the reason one of the new pills Manidipine 20mg after 10 days = Bad feet + ankle very swollen + pain, so stopped them,, have bought from local pharmacy [had before with no problems] hydrochlorothiazide .. no idea if these do the same as Manidipine was prescribed for ?
  19. Difficult without the names of Med's Did find approved in Thailand earlier this year 'Bexagliflozin' = Diabetes + Kidney + weight loss
  20. Not everyone has T2 Diabetes - odd how so many believe Diabetes is type 2 with a few odd cases or type 1
  21. Good point could have been returned medication
  22. Always get from Hospital Pharmacy , they get out of Fridge and always fussy I have not ice and want to give me a block, always take a insulin cooler box I have had for years, anyway home within 15 mins. Never thought about the problem could be the Insulin, I asked the Dr on the 26 Nov. until I opened the new box and got lows then wondered if it was Possible
  23. Been on Insulin for years, always the same 30/70 mix bought from the Hospital Pharmacy Age 73 Diabetic 34 years, diagnosed Feb 2015 with type Lada 1.5 so been on Insulin since then Last month Blood Sugar reading got higher every day, I increased the dosage [normal is 32 units morning + 24 evenings] increased to 40 + 40 and still kept going up was high as 298 !! asked the Dr it could be a Insulin Problem ? answer no. but no other reason given Opened a new box of Vials this month, back to 32 units morning + 24 evenings, but keep going low, I mean low, get the shakes and sweats is down to 50 something don't take any insulin , normal day been reducing to 14 + 14 yet still going to low... yesterday morning was 78 this morning 72 November Vials were use before March 2025, the new box of vials use before May 2025.. Anyone any idea or advice ? had the same problem ? maybe is nothing to do with the Insulin, just odd appear to change so much with using a new box of Insulin Vials.
  24. Login then > track my order > clearly shows each step + time and date > then says last mile [normally = is close and will arrive that afternoon or next day] > out for delivery is on it way may or may not get a phone call... Problem with the phone call is what firm is delivering, some will phone early [maybe to put on Van or not ?} and not deliver for hours later, many will phone when they leave the last delivery, and one always phones when he is outside the gate.
