Mine is on the left this morning HATE it, almost blind in the left eye so a great problem 😒

when Pension not arrived so have to call, then they always say sent in January, so my next ? due? life certificate date is Jan 2025. guess they will again send snail post, only ever received 1 some 15 months late !! [from UK post mark stamp]

1st time a Thai friend in the Village, the last 3 times my Partner, uses work address and rubber stamp, next one due in Jan 2025

What is testosterone juice ??

Need help again So now for a week prescribed Atenetol 50 MG Morning GPO HTCZ 25 mg Evenings again the top number has come down to around 130 [down from months of 160 +] problem is the 2 number was high 70s > is down to 57 - 60 too LOW ? Which Med's are making the 2nd reading so low ?? or is 130/57 OK ? Going back over my charts last time it was 121/79 was back in May 2016

Easy for some, maybe got the answer yesterday. long term Thai friend is visiting, they tried with my phone scan the barcode on the PC > worked perfectly, yet when I tried and tried could not login.. They said is my hands that are the problem, had for some years have something called 'familial tremor' so cannot hold my phone still when trying to scan... so used to it never thought about it, so maybe is the reason cannot ever log-in ?? Worried for years as Parkinson's runs in the family

No not the only one, friend in the Village much younger than me is only 60 has no idea, or his wife retired yesterday has a problem try to make it work, there Son 20's can but has a problem when trying to use my phone... 2 others in the Village that I know both in there 80's also have no idea Likewise trying to pay bills with SCB, [scan bill] even taken phone into the Bank and they cannot make it work, Works on Bangkok Bank, but use SCB for everyday uses... maybe is my phone ? but is Android 10 Maybe the phone ? don't use much as far to small cannot see - much easier on my 32" PC Monitor

this Bar Code Scan me things is beyond me.... friend set me up on my Smartphone, long ago + instructions, cannot work it out friend set me up with ''Line' also long ago + beyond me, no matter how often over the past years have tried just cannot get past or make the scan me Barcode work. Seeing as most people of all ages have there head buried in the phones, amazes me how long some take to try to make the scan me payment at Makro going cashless = NO, is OK for the younger people that understand and can remember what to do,

Present one Oker' webcam had it for 13 years perfect clear, never a problem Before had Logitech more expensive and had to have 3 in about 20 years

Also in UK was common to have new bodies on older Coaches, we also have a new body single body coach that used to be a double decker.. main give away was the crash box, but as I learnt to drive buses with crash boxes so was in heaven Main problem on a Diesel is the turbo, which can explode > also a disadvantage of the rear engine buses as you cannot hear, [must keep a eye on the turbo booster gauge]

OK this thread is old, bit lost Expensive ? I asked in my local Pharmacy yesterday 500g = 10 baht per bag... I was told may help Diabetic foot pain much worse in bed. add some Epsom Salts to warm water and soak feet for 15 mins B4 bed Is there different types of Epsom Salts ??

Have no problem injecting twice a day - have done so for years + well under control Insulin I use supplied from the Hospital Pharmacy cost 425 baht for 5 vials of 300 units of insulin per pen [less than 100 baht per 300 unit Vial] If ever in BKK and need some supplies then use MD Pharmacy speak good English or CHULA BHESAJ PHARMACY -Brother [speaks perfect English]+ 2 Sisters both next to each other on Rama 4. I still use finger pricks, the Lancets price is mind boggling Hospital 1,200 baht per 100, some Pharmacies up to 2,450 baht, I get them from the same place for some years last month 826 baht..... ALL same branded name same box and amount, how can some stay in business or do business changing 3 x the amount ?

Yes but again is which Pharmacy. Pharmacy I use for other thing is good and cheap, nearest to me is very expensive eg: last week went in to get 3" x 3" gauge pack 16 baht, my normal Pharmacy is 7 bahr same brand /size so over double the price. Found over the years prices vary in different Pharmacys even one next door to each other + some by a lot.

Yes maybe will do if the Hospital has none. will ask to go back on ACE blockers all Meds appear cheaper at the Hospital pharmacy + Most important to me is Insulin have tried over the years every Pharmacy within a 15 km radius NOT one sells Insulin, so have to get at the Hospital, 18 km away is one Pharmacy that sells but cost double the Hospital price... No idea if my reasoning is true - if I had to be taken to Hospital, then all Med's are on Hospital file

Guess side effects they all caused bad feet swelling after a month after 6 months had all legs swollen, ended up in a wheelchair as the pain was so bad. Chula Hospital after many visits put me back on Atenotol 50 mg with Enalapril Maleate 20mg [taking this since 1991 - 2015 + 2018 - end 2020] Sai Noi Hospital, in 2021 did not stock so put on Losartan

can never work out why anyone these days needs a watch.... I do have 2 nice ones in there boxes My cheap Smartphone has the correct time, not worn my watch for at least 16 years

If they had that here then Swampy Airport should never have been built where it is..

Mother in 1979 Through Cancer aged 40 as did her Sister + a brother all at 40 years old,,,Father aged 81 old age ? heavy Whisky drinker for years, his 2nd wife died 2 years before of not caring or watching her Diabetes.... On the cancer/smoking bit...a good friend died aged 98 he was very active never gave up working or smoking 60+ a day since he was a school boy.

Update past 4 weeks been taking 100mg of LOsartan !! = may have nothing to do with it but have a bad Eye /Vision problem + always tired + headache 24/7 + CKD [ is a side effects of LOsartan ? ] but BP is still high or the 1st number is 155-165 over 57 - 68......... High/Low again next week Friday to Dr ar Sai Noi Hospital, from what I can see if you need to change a Med you have to tell the Dr what you want instead..!! [see if they stock it] I have via web searching, but is this OK to the following Atenotol 50 mg with Enalapril Maleate 20mg [had for years up to changing to local Hospital - [3 hours public travel each way + Covid changed 2020 to local Hospital] - or Enalapril Maleate and Hydrochlorothiazide 20/12.5 mg any advice please ? Need he 1st number down, not the 2nd number Have Allege to lisinopril + amlodipine + Manidipine + Nifedipine Will go next Wednesday to Chula Eye Hospital, so will see how I manage the long trip to BBK and back, so will see if I can again go to the Diabetic Dr at Chula - Red Cross. Hospital.

Yes when I moved here the exchange was 76 baht to the £ UK pensions is frozen, but prices here keep going up.and up, so many thing one must cut back on

How can the bill be correct ? My water bill is higher than most in the Village , detached 3 bedroom house, Pond + water the garden every day, highest monthly bill 264 baht [normally around 230 baht], most of other are under 200 baht per month.. so 2 years would be 6,000 baht. tops.. so what sort or house has this person got + how many live there ? sounds more like she owns a big Apartment block ?? or maybe the water meter was changed and some sort of mix up ???

The new Law from a few months ago helps with 'fake' orders and for orders that one did order but was not what was inside the package/box Before payment can open before and view - before paying COD.. Always pay COD + many of my orders are repeat orders so no need to open, only buying something from a new seller do I open 1st This past month have had 3 different delivery Companies try to deliver a package COD for 150 baht, refused as did not order. Always do the same for many years > order them write the order No + price, put in a bag with the cash so not confused as is ready if delivered next day or next week.

Some maybe waiting for a year The upcoming Corolla will borrow BYD's hybrid powertrain, allowing for a driving range almost 3 times more than that of a conventional ICE unit. As per reports, Toyota is aiming at a driving range of 2,100 km from the upcoming Corolla PHEV. To help achieve this, the car will come powered by a new and highly efficient 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine, paired with BYD's latest hybrid tech. Loads of reports + Videos

might just as well get a e-power Nissan 100% electric charged by the petrol engine [would look better that this]

True but at 55 baht each, easy to replace every 6 months, have them in my water tank + upstairs and downstairs toilets + in my Pond, I buy a box works out @ 43 baht each + last 3 - 4 years.
