    Opiates over the counter isn't a good idea. 

     

    Self medicating is an early sign of addiction.

     

    Get some help. 

     

    Denial is your worst enemy. 

    When I first suffered with sciatica I was under the care of a doctor.  She had me take a MRI which showed a collapsed disc between L4 and L5.  This compressed the sciatic nerve.  She said that there was no treatment (at that time) and all I could do is pain management coupled with certain exercises.  She prescribed Tramadol.  Walking and riding a bicycle seems to help.

     

    I know what sets it off.  Twisting my back repeatedly like when using a whipper snipper is sure to cause a flare up.  Sleeping in a bad position results in pain.  I'm too old to have 'experimental' surgery and I wouldn't want it anyway.

     

    I am fortunate that I don't suffer withdrawal symptoms when I don't use it.

     

    So I self medicate when necessary.  No addiction or denial here.

    Bonanza Time for police.  They get to raid foreign mafias with impunity thus eliminating the opposition.

    Yes there seems to be a lot of stories lately saying the BIB have arrested some gang or other along with a whole heap of goodies.  Maybe the BIB is conducting a campaign to rid themselves of opposition.  After all the traffic of all drugs is solely the BIB's right.

    Do you get the hoards of Thai visitors in HH for the New Year? I know my wife's brother and family went  there. If not for traffic I always assumed it might be a better option than remaining in Pattaya which is just crazy busy ....

    We went to Hua Hin for xmas.  The trip back was okay until we hit Rama 2.  Then it was deadlocked.  Took around an hour to travel 1.5 k.  Then again this might be normal for Rama 2.

    What about returning Indian tourists from Thailand, also need to test neg?

    Yes.

    Any individual travelling from Thai to India, no matter nationality.

    The Indian Government must be serious about this.  Not long ago when coming to Thailand it was policy for almost everyone to have a negative PCR test conducted no longer than 48 hours before boarding their flight.  Thais did not need to provide a negative test.  This may have to do with a nation's citizens natural right to enter their own country.
