WayWokeWhiteGuy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I agree with Nancy. Not feeling hot water on your hands is odd. My hands have become much more sensitive to heat as I have gotten older. Dude needs to see a doctor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made here in Thailand and some chemist's stock it , can't speak highly enough It's a herbal supplement but open the bottle and the pungent odor let's you know it's good <deleted>. And Tongkat Ali. Look it up. Used to grow throughout SE Asia but is pretty much an Indonesian plant nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he used to "scream like a baby" if boiling water accidently splashed on him. (My 73 year old Hubby still does that!) Sounds like he needs a good general health screening, especially for diabetes, including an A1C test which will show blood glucose history over several months. I wonder if he's suffering from neuropathy. Nice catch. You've got a point there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't killed me yet and I've been on it 16 years. You sound like my rubbish GP in the UK who said the same thing to me and refused the shots, but only gave me 2 years if I had them elsewhere. He was a complete pillock at the best of times and about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Glad to be rid of him.

I didnt even notice the nurse chatting me up as she shot some gel down there and clamped my "long fellow"--wait..what?! Then the doc plunged that thing in and im face to face with my bladder and prostate..mono v mono...my mortal enemy! So its meds(not much help)..stents(temp fix) or a reduction-scaling-laser zap...but he tells me my sex life is pretty much over...sigh Anybody been thru this as its kinda related and im kinda in the same boat...is like the last remaining source of joy during this past year.. Oh the Huge Manatee!!! (humanity)......maybe this is why some of the thai gals like the grandpas...a pension and no boom boom for teerak! I didn't have any of the silliness with the camera. Walked into the emergency dept of the local government hospital, "I can't wee" Doctor said, 'you've got BPH', all they gave me was a PSA test to see if it was likely to be cancer (it wasn't) Catheter shoved up for a month and a bag of pills, until I could wee again. Been taking the pills for 2 years now, doesn't seem to have got any worse, after the initial recovery. Costs about 100bht/month in all. Sex life same as it was before the illness, 2-3x a week. Don't understand why your sex life would be over? Edited April 16, 2021 by BritManToo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Fixit Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think the weird sensations the OP has could be a sign of vitamin B12 deficiency, especially if he has a sore tongue. Might be worth a blood test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No side effects from either drug that I can detect over the past two years. Felt a bit dizzy when I jumped up out of bed late in the night a couple of times, but gone after a few seconds.

And I buy the box of 10 you mentioned for the price you mentioned and then go to my local clinic where the nice lady doctor charges me a whole 80 baht to give me a shot, including cost of syringe .
