sharksy Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 On 6/21/2021 at 6:49 AM, Surelynot said: Don't want to spend any money......555 I've had occasional back pain similar to what you describe. I remember sitting in my mums conservatory and suddenly hurt my back when twisting and rising to get up at the same time off the chair. I had to stay in the chair without moving and shallow breathing. Then my phone went off - I was on call (emergency services) and I HAD to get to work which was just over a mile away. I managed to get out of the chair by grabbing onto anything suitable and it was sheer agony. Then one small step after the other, I made it through the house and started walking to the station. The more I walked the better the back pain got(very slowly though). By the time I had walked to work, done the 5 minute job required and walked back, I was so much better and was actually thankfull for that call-out as forced me to move. Sometimes, exercise is key. So many people would've just laid down and taken pills etc, and still wouldn've been as well as me days later. Hope it's sorted by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spornb Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 A lot of misinformation on this thread double check before acting Diazepam vs Lorazepam I use both and still prefer Valium, however there is a reluctance of doctors and hospitals, in Thailand to prescribe, however I can bypass this (without doing anything illegal, other than a few smiles) and keep 30/50 diazepam close to hand Diazepam is not illegal I have had a lot of absolutely excellent medical care, including major surgery, many MRI s, all at very sensible affordable cost I am 76 three lots of major cancer, HAPPY, CONTENTED, AND ENJOYING LIFE STRUGGLING TO WALK BUT STILL DRIVING, drinking about 1/3 bottle samsong most days, if life becomes awful or full of pain I do have a plan that will work to quietly end it all !! If you post honest factual information you need to expect to be attacked on this forum, there are sadly many in Thailand who should not be here, they scam the UK pensions, on increases and bribe for extension renewals Thank you God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew what it was and no problems since, never had a back problem before, most odd. Apart from anything else its extremely boring, sleeping was almost impossible and turning over was painful and VERY slowly done with a lot of squawking by me. Wish you well whatever it is, I certainly never want it again but dont know what caused it anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus I couldnt move at all it was that bad, turning over was the only thing I HAd to do and that took ages done at a snail pace , ate ibuprofen the worst was trying to go for a dump.............. after the first try I decided to give up eating so as to avoid that again. Sounds like yours isnt too bad then, for sure Ivenever had pain like that before, even when I cut my ear off as a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spornb Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Some facts that may be of interest Diazepam, first marketed as Valium, is a medicine used to treat a range of conditions, Common side effects include sleepiness and trouble with coordination.Serious side effects are rare. Diazepam was patented in 1959 by Hoffmann -La Roche. It has been one of the most frequently prescribed medications in the world since its launch in 1963In the United States it was the highest selling medication between 1968 and 1982, selling more than 2 billion tablets in 1978 alone. In 2018, it was the 115th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6 million prescriptions. In 1985 the patent ended, and there are more than 500 brands available on the market.It is on the World health List of Essential Medicines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraday Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 1 hour ago, spornb said: Diazepam is not illegal It's a schedule 4 drug & is only available by prescription - well sometimes it isn't. ???? Possession w/o a 'script is illegal. As for the "misinformation" you allege is on here; well I haven't seen any, & Sheryl, being an MD, would have corrected it, if there was. I'm sure you don't need reminding, but please do be mindful of taking Benzos & alcohol, due to their half-life. Stay well. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
