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

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.

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

???

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 ?

Difficult without the names of Med's Did find approved in Thailand earlier this year 'Bexagliflozin' = Diabetes + Kidney + weight loss

Not everyone has T2 Diabetes - odd how so many believe Diabetes is type 2 with a few odd cases or type 1

Good point could have been returned medication

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

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.

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.

Lazada Nonsense Again, but is it ? Last night went to the SCB bank ATM as have done many times before to put money IN, no it was not possible max transaction is 30,000 baht, as I was putting in 65,000 took forever as had to make 3 x transactions enter my name, + Passport No [thankfully have it on my phone] + account name + phone number + code they sent to my mobile x 3, all I can say is thank goodness no other person wanted to use the machine in the 20 mins I had to stand there last month went into the Pink Bank to pay in 6,000 with savings book, have done so for past 15 years, now not possible without i.d Banking system gone mad ?? Pink Bank always same branch most are the same staff !!

Face Mask has not gone away where I live, everyone wears a face mask, even in the Village all ages, last Friday went to Central Westgate shocked to see about 25% of people not wearing them, mostly white people and young Thais. I go every day 5 houses up the Village to a retired Nurse to get my dressing changed would not think of not wearing a mask Met my Cousin visiting Thailand at Westgate, he is 72 next month, had the Jab + all boosters in the UK, yet still got Covid twice..

I order always COD, after the order you get a email as well confirming the order and amount, next day check the order status on Lazada if sent put exact money in a clear small bag ready...... 12.12 was sale day, ordered 3 items, all money put in bags, 1x item 213 baht delivered yesterday, another has been picked up by delivery service, the other is out for delivery, maybe today is 758 baht... The COD scam ? is not always for little amounts, couple of years ago had a delivery guy arrive with a parcel COD for 4,750 baht.... had a few over the years of small amounts 2 - 300 baht.. Nothing I ordered so did not accept or pay, often wonder what was it in these parcels and how many others got the same and paid

I have cataracts in both eyes age 73. told unless is troubling me not to bother yet, Chula - Red Cross Hospital 2020 the eye Dr said the Op is 16 -20,000 per eye + lens deepens on type, but total cost should not be more that 35,000 per eye, they said do 1 eye and the other 1 month later, new glasses in the mean time [total cost 1,350 baht] The Pinklao Eye Hospital said around 70.000 per eye. So Government Hospital a lot cheaper

Maybe try downloading a bootable Linux to a USB drive, and see if it works faster ? at least you will know if it is the OS or some hardware problems.. 6 mins to boot wow my very old desktop take 21 - 34 seconds to boot windows 10 check what is starting when you boot, most items do not need to be there, find from time to time software will go back to starting up on boot which are not needed....... maybe disable some and see if start up is faster

take old pack to any Thai Pharmacy will have and cheap,

my auto update is disabled, checking early this week, Windows 10 Pro came back as unable to update - error, likewise my Radeon update said not found update cancelled !! will give it all a good clean inside next week and try again

Yes need a good clean up, did some of the fans last week, so dirty The Azza case I have has 10 case fans + have dogs so collects a lot of hair and dust, looking inside all a bit dusty so a good clean would maybe improve the odd errors.......... The DVD drive vanishing this morning changed to a different Sata plug on MB is working again.

Yes already looked and put in Bookmarks usb hub 7 port 3.0 usb extender.. Mini PCs look good but is a minefield appears 5,000 - 68,000 baht, most can only get from China. in Thailand appear to be only cheap older hardware models [or mid range pre order arrives in 20 days] anything up to date here in Thailand are Apple Mac's with a desktop understand M/B + CPU + Graphics card the main items = price, the Mini's are onboard graphics so why the high price difference... Likewise what I have now is really all I need, quite fast enough FX 8320, [very latest CPU on the market at the time] just at odd times will do odd things, a HDD will vanish, but come back hours later, at this moment the DVD drive has vanished, often open a page and it will hang, wait 5 mins and it starts working again, maybe twice a week will not start says No OS found, will slide the SSD tray out then restart so use the backup USB drive will work [maybe the SSD drive has vanished ?]

Yes think your right, leaning that way, as have 3 USB HDDs + inside have 2x 2TB HDDs and my system on a SSD + in the back Speakers uses USB , Cam is USB. Printer is USB always have Smartphone USB cable plugged in..

appears can still buy online from China, the NUC B13 is a i 3 The NUC B 4 is very old, guess OK for a TV Box

yes good reviews on the Ryzen 7 and the Ryzen 9

good office one is 32,000 baht

Anyone using ? My old PC is having problems built 12 years ago debating what to do re build my PC or get a all new Mini ? [only ever used AMD all my life] Ryzen 7 5800H. is about the same price as me upgrading to a AM 4 B550 Motherboard + Ryzen 5600 + Ram + a new M2 SDD so wondered if anyone has gone to a Mini PC and what if any drawbacks ? As already have + using a 3 month old Graphics card + year old full size AZZA case + 18 month old POWER SUPPLY (80+ GOLD) 750W THERMALTAKE
