I had a friend who died at McKean Very peaceful end by all accounts.

I had no idea that Baclofen could be used in this way! I have been prescribed it for stomach pain, and was told not to drink until my symptoms are better. Though I did wonder, being a daily drinker why I found temptation very easy to resist. For people that need it in Chiang Mai then Dara Pharmacy , nearly opposite McCormick Hospital have it and it's not dear, although I am unsure of the exact price

Hi X Because I have a urethral stricture the scar keeps hardening which makes it difficult to pee. So he has to go in and stretch it so I can pee freely again. This procedure costs me around 150,000 including a 2 night stay in hospital. Coming up to the anniversary of my last intervention I can still pee freely but I get a constant pain. I have pleaded with him to do a uroplasty operation but he says my stricture is not the right kind to perform it on. So I just have to hope month by month that I can still keep peeing I have to put up with the pain, but thankfully it's not as bad as when I needed morphine to control it, now I can get by with one Ultracet on the days it's bad. Talk about bad luck for both if us!! Good luck buddy

I'm sorry to hear this buddy. You and I certainly seem to be on a constant treadmill with our discomfort and pain. I find that I have urethral pain almost every day and there really isn't anything to be done. Charispong rings me once a month just to check up on me but he really doesn't offer any practical advice on how to deal with the constant bladder leakage which requires me to still be wearing diapers 11 months after the last procedure he carried out on me. So it looks like we are in this together long term. Good luck buddy, talk again soon. TP

She has been to the Thai run hospital where I believe they gave her too much of the wrong medication that has contributed to her current sorry state. Hundreds of people there when we have been, Doctors are under severe pressure. Two or three years ago, we shan't return

Thanks a lot Sheryl I can see this being useful x

Hi Nancy We have been under BK Hospital physiologists and neurologists for 2 years now but her symptoms are just getting worse. She gets 20 minutes of 1 to 1 counseling once a month and lots of drugs that I believe do not interact with each other well according to my research Her current doctor said he would get outside counseling for her and would call with a name, but he never did. This is why I am looking for outside help now

My wife has unfortunately developed Physcomotor Retardation. It's a horrible thing and medication is not working. She has been attending Bangkok Hospital here for some time to receive medication , but this is not working. I think she needs 1 to 1 therapy to help her deal with this depressive disorder. Can anyone recommend a decent councilor that she can see on a regular basis in CM? Many thanks

#Admin please close this thread now

He has operated on me twice. Glad that everything went well for you buddy

That's very good Jerry Did they pay the hospital directly? I need some good news about WR. I would like to take out a policy with them but am a bit skeptical as they are so cheap and pay up for ore existing conditions. I have many Cheers

What urologist did you see at Bumrungrad buddy?

Bangkok Airways are very accommodating so I can't imagine it will be an issue However if it was Air Asia .....?

I would think twice about purchasing a Chinese car. Most things made there fall apart before other items made in other countries So why not cars? Just sayin'

I think people that have purchased Chinese cars will live to regret it Most things made in China fall apart, they are known for poor quality and cheap prices so why not with cars as well?

The one we hired seems very competent is Thai, smart about 50 years old. We only need new 3 days a week, she really wants full time. So if there is anyone else out there who wants a maid 3 or 4 days a week just let me know and I will pass on her contact details to you. We will share her She is doing Mon Weds Fri with us, so the other days are available

Used to be fish and chips for 150 baht on Friday not so long ago

I believe John's Place was used as a location for Denzil Washington's movie American Gangster in 2008/9 Looked weird with all the early 70's cars and tuk tuks whizzing by outside in the film, not to mention the strangely dressed people

Got one now thanks????

We are looking for a maid in the Mae Hia area. If anybody can send me a pm with details I would be eternally grateful. My wife has been ill and is unable to do household chores, I have my hands full in the garden so having to do housework too is quite stressful . 450 to 500 baht a day depending on experience. 2 days a week, but only one if that's all they can fit in . It's really hard to find a maid these days!! Pretty desperate right now. Does not have to be Thai can be Burmese but must be able to iron. Many thanks in advance

How are you now?

Hi Anybody know a good company in Chiang Mai that will do a good job at replacing mine for a reasonable price 10×6 Many thanks Ps the decking would be an added feature at present it's all sandwash
