Perhaps you have an allergy. I've never experienced anything like that nor do I know anyone in my past who had those issues.

Have you had an mRNA shot? Myocarditis and pericarditis are an unfortunate (rare we are told) side effect. Ask your doctor to measure the levels of troponin in your blood as elevated levels of troponin is a signal of possible heart damage. "Chest pain. Fatigue. Swelling of the legs, ankles and feet. Rapid or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmias) Shortness of breath, at rest or during activity. Light-headedness or feeling like you might faint. Flu-like symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pain, fever or sore throat." Source: Mayo Clinic Best of luck.

Cannabis is legal now. A couple of tokes before bed and The Sandman is your Uncle. A week of insomnia isn't a problem. Try a decade or so. Get some exercise, take you melatonin, puff a little ganja before bed and get your circadian rhythm back in sync. Or go see a doctor. The problem with Thai doctors is that they'll hand out benzodiazapines like candy. They work. But even medium term use can cause you to experience withdrawal. They are not a good option unless you have the self-control and knowledge of the drug's effects and can "use" them as opposed to "abuse" them. Or they'll offer you generic Ambian (scary stuff unless you enjoy sleep walking) and you'll pay through the nose for even the generic version. And don't consider this medical advice as I'm not a doctor. Your body, your responsibility.

Or a filthy human problem.

Go to the drug store and buy Albens (albendazole). One dose 400mg dose is around 30 THB (less then a buck USD). If you live in the tropics, internal worms are a fact of life. Taking once or twice a year as a propalaxis for internal worms is simply a caution. Don't wait to go back to you home country. Treat yourself here. A single dose of albendazole in the US can cost you between $200 to $800. https://www.drugs.com/dosage/albendazole.html https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32668456/

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
connda replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The movie was good enough. This should make Connelly another 100 million or so. Something to watch while waiting for the next Bosch series. Too bad they don't combine them in cameos. -

What is a price of bamboo ladder? About 250,000 THB when it comes apart and you break a hip.

6 months to live what would you do?
connda replied to Sparktrader's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Ditto. Get my affairs in order. Be grateful that I know the my life is drawing to a close. Enjoy my pets. Find access to palliative care just in case. Forgive the b****es and b*******s in my life who willingly and deliberately cause me grief and harm. Enjoy a good single-malt Scotch daily. Let go of this life without regrets. Practice Death Meditation - when it comes, embrace it consciously. -
Oh, and there is a chapter in Thailand. Fairly new. https://www.paaukthailand.org/en/home-en/

For once, why don't we all strive to have just a little respect for someone seriously reaching out? Just saying.

They won't take you. You're too old. Sorry. The farang chapters of Ajahn Chah's monastic legacy are funny like that. I was deeply influenced by Ajahn Chah's teaching for years prior to early retirement. Been there, tried that. It's not an option. Your age is considered problematic. If you looking for meditation and an internal getaway, try Pa-Auk Tawya Forest Monastery in Myanmar. There are more than one, but Pa-Auk Tawya is the largest. Pa-Auk is much more approachable than Wat Pah Nanachat. The monastery's web site is here: https://www.paaukforestmonastery.org/ You can also contact Bhante Subhuti at this link. He's spent considerable time at the Pa-Auk forest monasteries and could fill you in. https://americanmonk.org Best of luck.

One Man and the River: A mission that triggered tidal wave of criticism

He could be swimming 5km in a straight line, but perhaps is adding the how far he'll be pushed down river by the current. -
My experience wayyyy back in my Window 3.1 Help Desk days is that no matter what we told the end users - they'd end up bricking their system. Take it to a shop and buy a bigger hard-drive and have the tech reconfigure it for you.

Thailand abstained on UN vote to have its voice heard – FM Don

Just say Thailand want's to remain neutral instead of that mealy-mouthed bravo sierra. -
I don't "Fall in Love" with men. Even ones that look like this. My tailor would say that this lass "dresses right." For those of you who have been to a tailor.

Well stated!

"Falling In Love." What's that really mean? What it really is is a biological imperative wired into the human hormonal system that attempts to guarantee human propagation. In this current era of Caligula-like morality, it probably doesn't matter. The chances of you impregnating your robotic sex-doll is about zero. I'll leave it at that. Have I fallen in love with women? Yep. Back when I was young, dumb, and full of ????...excess sexual energy. However, the years have tempered that imperative. Number one: I shoot blanks. Two - I understand what those feeling are. My feelings that attract me to a woman nowaday are much more then coursing testosterone. It's a decision to weigh the pros and cons of the relationship. If I just want sex - well, I live in Thailand. I know where to find it. So it's not about sex. At best I can say that I care for certain women. That's about as far as it goes now. "Falling in love?" Not a chance.

Gen Prawit calls for proactive measures to curb road accidents
connda replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand will never decrease road accidents as long as their only enforcement happens at road blocks or after an accident has already occurred. Thailand has NO proactive enforcement. That would require cops in patrol cars pulling people over for moving violations. And my educated guess? That ain't never happening. I personally think they want chaos on the roads. If they had cops issuing citations for moving violations then the wrong (rich and wealthy) folks may be inconvenienced. You know, like weaving in and out of traffic and driving on the shoulders at 150 kpm while taking selfies.- 47 replies
