They have seen their communities destroyed.  Whole swathes of the UK have seen no tangible benefit from EU membership.

Hence why after 40+ years of the EU we told them to stuff it. 

Orlistat is the active ingredient in the obesity treatment Xenical, currently the only prescription medication available for weight loss. 

I went for a full medical and blood tests today. My BP was high everything else was within ranges set. I asked the doctor about the mark. He believes that when I sleep my BP shoots up which is why I usually wake up to an headache. The mark, he believes are the capillaries busting. He found nothing that would otherwise cause this problem. I'm now on a month supply of Amlodipine 5mg once a day.

Thanks for all replies.

Are you noticing easy bruising or petechiae (rd spots) elsewhere on your body? Have you had a physical check up in past year or so?

Not at all. I've had a annual check up for the last 11-12 years. Never a problem. Currently my BP is around 138-42 over 80. So am going for a check up this week hopefully.

This is bruising.

If it was then surely I'd feel pain on the bruise site, but I don't.

Does it appear in any other places you have hair?   No

Closer looking at the picture looks like red blotchy rash as well on your forehead. Not a rash but more likely from towel drying after my shower. The mark is more like a 'love bite'/Hicky.

I don't know, but I'm not sure how your brain perceives stress when you're asleep. Neither do I

Could the food you eat and drink before bed be a factor, or the soap you wash with or cream you use before bed be causing it? I don't know but I doubt it.


 

I'm really clutching at straws Sheryl. The only difference I see with my problem is that the mark is over an eyebrow, never the same one. Whereas their mark appears between the eye brows.

I've been looking up my problem and have come to the conclusion it's caused by stress. I found one site that discusses this phenomena with others that suffer similar symptoms.    http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Dermatology/Red-mark-on-forehead-between-eyes/show/1562625#post_answer_header

Are you on a blood thinner?

I'm on no medication or suppliments and I do not wear an eye mask at night. It'll appear over either eye but never the two at the same time. I've been getting this problem for a few years now but being as I suffer nothing other these embarrassing red marks I've never saw a doctor about it. I saw a nurse once and she said if I wasn't suffering any other problems then not to worry. The mark in my picture is well defined and probably the worst I've seen. Hence my concern now.

Does anyone know what causes these red marks above my eyes? They always appear after a nights sleep and can last about 24 hours before fading. There is no pain and the red colour varies. I do usually wake up with an headache but the marks do not always coincide with the headaches. There is no swelling around the bruise like marks and they appear over either eye but never both at the same time. Thanks in advance for any sensible suggestions.

Obviously no autopsy was done.

Red meat causes inflammation in the gut. 

20+ years ago, and some today still do, think diet contributes to stomach ulcers.   

Why would a Thai have 3 fans on? It ain't even the hot season. In fact the contrary. So BS on this story. 

Yeah right. The family may have bought the story but I don't.

Works both ways.

Some blood tests require you not to eat or drink 8 hours before. So go prepared.

That's wrong. Don't involve your kids in your fights.

The ball's in your court Davidst01. Pun intended.

Good luck. Nice looking dog.

Nearly every village/town in Thailand will have a dam for their water supply. No need to go trekking.

More than likely a Tarantula Hawk. Not usually aggressive but carries a powerful sting.

I send a bit of stuff from Ebay to Europe, just put the address

In Thailand it's not compulsory to fill out a customs declaration form when sending items abroad. But in most other countries it is.

who would write gift on a parcel

Never get items from Ebay sellers?

Wish I had a Baht for everything I've had sent me that shouldn't have been due to being illegal or duty payable on the item but have got through.  Avoid having the item sent by courier IE TNT or DHL.  Do as 'jbt' above says.

And write 'gift, no value' on the 'customs declaration slip'.
