You do not mention their financial situation, which is important as treatment could be quite costly.

 

Unless they are wealthy I suggest they take the child to this government hospital which specializes in pediatric cases:

 

http://www.childrenhospital.go.th/html/2014/en/our-history

 

Being a government hospital there will be long waits initially (unless it is an emergency) but costs will be about 1/56 what they would otherwise be and quality of care will be good once through the initial screening procedures and seen by the appropriate specialist team. Patience is necessary as the initial screening will likely involve several days and many long waits.

 

If possible they should have a Thai speaker accompany them at least on the first visit, until they know their way around - all the signs and forms re in Thai.

Thank you so much Sheryl.

this case called (posterior Fossa arachnoid cyst) they are not so wealthy, just ordinary people,

I can arrange the Thai speaking, writing form etc, the only worry is about the long queue,

they are in hurry to make this operation as soon as possible, will try how to help by any possible way.

Thanks for the reference again,

Hi guys,

First of all, I am in this section (stop smoking forum) is not to ask about stop smoking,, just no other to send my post,

Anyway, a friend of mine they have a little boy between 5 - 6 years old, got water in his head since was born, I am not sure about this in specif details,

What I learned from him that they are going to bring him for treatment in Thailand,

I would like to ask if anyone here knows where is the best hospital for this treatment, or heard about a good doctor for this case, so I can go and ask for information,

Thanking you very much in advance if any help or advise in this matter.

Regards

why these ridiculous accidents became as a yearly custom?

taking hundreds of lives and many of them are innocents just got killed because of the reckless driving of drunk guys,

imposing harder restrictions and punishment may help to reduce these catastrophic fatal events.

Fainting for the sake of begging for mercy,...... 

Yes,,, that's the only available option to face the bitter reality... !!

such type of crimes will keep going on, here in Thailand or anywhere else in the world as long as no applying equal sentences to such crimes, who killed with plan in mind to kill, should be killed with out any dodging ways, in some states in the US, they are applying the justice fairly in this regard,

whoever will defend on human rights, to ban excretion,, bla bla bla, why these criminals did not respect the right of life of their victims? they should be directed to the hell, so that everyone planning to assassinate someone else, will think many times before doing so, this is the right justice to such type of crime,

done as you would like done by.

if he was not a muslim, this incident will be seen in the top headlines as a terrorist attack,

then to have a new episode will be added to the Islamophobic series that began with 11/9. 

Mr trump will say:: I told you that already,, I was right,, and this has to be STOPPED now !!!

but no one head of this crime even many of local Thais ,, unfortunately!!

Laws on gun ownership are fairly irrelevant, the world is awash with arms of all  description most of which could be classed as illegal by Western standards, but if we sit back and think for a minuet , the west is the main supplier/manufacturer and many ex service man went home with trophies and many will be here from Viet Nam & Cambodia.

unfortunately, this is the bitter reality,,  in US almost weekly shooting incidents in streets, malls, schools etc, killing dozens of innocents and they still supplying.. n selling and daily killing !!!

real fire gun was kept same as a toy ,, to result in tragedy killing .. clumsy and neglectful parents,

generally they should ban this from the markets unless to be under very tight restriction and they should required some basic training about uses, safety storage and family protection from such fatal incidents to anyone will own a such fure gun, some little stupid mistakes lead to life damage,,  

Almost every week we head such gun shooting happen in the USA, shooting in streets, shopping malls, schools etc,,

the assailant mostly get killed and the case closed at that point,, nothing serious,, nothing more than this,,

but it could be labeled as a very savage terror action, based on the geographic location and involved names,,

Personally, when I hear the word China = equally to cheating, deceiving, misleading etc,, 

I read all their bla bla bla,, and testimonials etc,,, but yet not convincing,,

IF : Germany, Australia, Norway, Japan etc,,, this means most likely to be trusted source,

certainly, generalization is not logically supported, but there are somewhat general ideas dominate our thinking,

Hello guys

I was surfing some website, and seen a banner that directed to this link in below:

http://www.chinastemcell.com.cn/en/Patients-Stories/Diabetes/

I ever heard about stem cells treatment in China,

but, for the case of diabetes, is there any proven stories?

Anyone heard a such true experience?

There a stainless 6 cup on lazada.

 

http://www.lazada.co.th/bialetti-moka-expres-6-venus-silver-1866911.html

I looks nice, but out of stock !!

there are many others the same capacity, and much cheaper, average of 400-700 THB,

seems to be Chinese made, but not sure if this cheaper once made in china, means low quality.. hesitated about this really.!

I bought mine at the Emporium.  That was ten years ago if memory serves it was about 3500b.

Actually, I have  alumni one, also have many sizes available at central, but I need only stainless steel one,

Will have a look  at Emporuim, and see if any still available,

Thanks,

Looking for a stainless steel pot, for 6 - 8 cup,

is there any store around in BKK to get one?

as I found some listed on Alibaba as in attached picts.

few years ago, I was in a camping tour trip to chiangmai,

in the itinerary we camped 2 nights at doi ankhan, we went around visiting strawberry farms etc,,

coming to the point, when we dropped by a farm in that hill area, most of us rushed to invade the field,, then started tasting the strawberries directly from the trees !!!, most of the fruits are not  complete reddish, half red and other more likely to yellowish,, but tasted so amazing sweet, never had like that taste around in bkk. this is my personal experience 3 or 4 years ago,

hi,

heard about virgin coconut oil (cold pressed) is helpful for weight loss, and reduce cholesterol in the body,

my uncle's wife she's in the mid 50s, over weighted, around100kg, high cholesterol and diabetic as well,

someone told her to take table spoon of oil everyday in the morning before breakfast, not really sure if this kind of oil is helpful in her case or not?

any relevant experience in this? i did some googling about this n found lot of links, but I would like to hear if anyone tried it in real, self experience, not theories.

thanks.

For someone willing to obtain a such sort of degree, does it make sense for him/her to hold a piece of paper while he has no any relevant qualification? what is the value of saying /showing what you are not qualified to do? or just to serve the purpose of requirements? worthless empty formalities,

SIPH is a facility and like all health care facilities, quality of care depends on the individual doctor whom it sounds like you did not specifically  select. I am also not clear how many different doctors you saw and of what specialty.

 

What I can suggest is that you get all the records from SIPH (all of them including the actual MRI film on CD , the EMG report, nerve conduction study report  etc) and then do the following. You can change the sequence of #1 and #2 if more convenient to do so but keep #3 as #3.

 

1. Consult Prof. Wicharn at BNH Hospital to get a second opinion as to whether or not these symptoms could be due to a problem in the cervical spine.   https://www.bnhhospital.com/find-doctor/search-result/?dname=wicharn

 

2. IF Prof. Wicharn also feels the issue is not in the cervical spine, take all records to consult Prof. Panupan Songcharoen to get a second opinion as to whether there is any compression of nerves in the arm/wrist.  He can be seen at SIPH or at any of these hospitals:

http://www.phyathai.com/doctor_search.aspx?LangID=en&Name=panupan&HospitalCode=0&SpecialtyID=15

Phyathai 2 is near Victory Monument, Chaophya and Phyathai 3 is closer to Siriraj on opposite side of the river

 

IF you get a negative opinion from both of the above then take your records to this neurologist (not necessary if either of the above doctors could identify the cause of the problem).

Sheryl, thank you very much for the useful reference,

We will consider to consult with one of them soon, as I told in above that decompress neck therapy was  excellent in the previous treatment, however, will consult an expert as you suggested, thanks again for the kind efforts.

I have bone spurs on my cervical vertebrae and had problems with pinched nerves in the past.  I tried everything including Vicodin and morphine tablets (very constipating.)  I was helped by neck stretching sessions (done by an orthopedic machine) and physical therapy.  I was taught how to do exercises to strengthen my neck and shoulder muscles.  I do the exercises several times a week now and the pain hasn't returned.  The pain pills never gave me very good relief.  It was only the physical therapy and exercises which helped.  Some people are not helped by exercise alone. I feel very fortunate to be pain-free and am careful to keep up my exercise routine.  I also have bone spurs in my lower back vertebrae and find that one Tramadol usually takes care of the pain at night.  Of course, when I've done a lot of walking or taxed my back in some way, I need more than one Tramadol.  I switch Tramadol with Voltaren for a few days but it's hard on my kidneys so I only take it for three days at a time.  I also take 400 mcg of methylcobalamin twice daily.

This is very relevant experience indeed,  during July went through some courses of neck stretching, or the call it decompression which dine by the therapy department, along with the electrical stimulus and hot pack under the shoulder at the same time,, in the 2nd or 3rd session the pain disappeared, then continued for the whole week everyday, then another week day after day,, while was taking lyrica 75mg once a day, 

but, why the pain back again?

how long should this treatment should be going? or how many sessions in total? 10 sessions? 20 session? 2 or 3 times a week? any additional idea will be appreciated,

Again - what were the qualifications of the doctors who examined you? All doctors are nto the same in skill level.

 

A second opinion may be in order, but needs to be with someone top of their field.

 

If indeed there is no spinal problem and no compression of nerves in the hand/wrist then some sort of neurological condition may be present and should see a neurologist specializing in peripheral neuropathies.

Regarding the qualification of the examiner, was at SiPH, I guess is one of the top ranking healthcare institutions in here,

for neuropathy, the examiner said no any of such type detected.. !! mysterious matter, isn't it?

 The cause is not necessarily inflammatory in origin

 

It is possible there is nerve impingement in the carpal tunnel area (wrist), sometimes this will cause radiating up to the shoulder so easily confused with problem in the cervical spine.

 

Nerve conduction studies and EMG would be able to diagnosis this. I am not clear if these have already been done?

 

Also, was the doctor who reviewed the MRI a spine specialist? Becasue if nto it may be worth taking the films to one. These tests are only as good as the skill of the doctor interpreting them.

Yes, actually MRI done 1st, and then the EMG+ NCV, both sides  had a look on both diagnosis, and saying no problems where detected so far, so where the painful inflammatory sensation came from then? isn't this the best available diagnosis nowadays? or something missing in between? 

It looks like a challenging matter to look at further search online, or communicate with some professional experts, sometimes they may find something hidden indirectly or the cause of something that could caused this,

The Lyrica helps relive nerve pain, it acts on nerve cells. It will not do anything to remove the cause of the problem. The methycobal is just Vitamin B12, though to help nerve cells/fibers regeneratie but will also not resolve the cause. Many doctors would also give a short (very short) course of power antiinflammatory drugs (steroids) together with the lyrica and the B12 to help relieve the inflammation that is usually present. If the problem was from a temporary cause like a protruding disc then these plus the passage of time may be enough but if there is bone impinging on nerve, it will continue unless surgically corrected.

 

MRI will help clarify the situation. Once done he should take it to a good spine specialist.

MRI done, and shows no any nerve compression or any, the his doctor recommended EMG & NCV tes,

done and the nervous system is OK too,

what really the cause of the inflammatory pain?
