Is it just me or has anybody been suffering recently in Bangkok?

I am living on 71 and so I am hardly out in the sticks but still I have had symptoms for a couple of weeks now.

Anybody?

a few years ago i got the 'shot in the ass' vaccination and never had it since. Its worth doing.

I didn't even know that was possible, I'll look into it.

Thanks.

Yes, happen to me at time.

You can buy some Pseudoephedrine tablets, the one i have is call Actified, / some chemist do not release them easily as it is the base of Meth drug, just be persistent and they will on small quantity. They will psuh for Tiffy, but it is not so good!

It clear all sinus and hay fever

Pseudoephedrine (common brand name = 'Sudafed') is a decongestant. I believe it is a restricted drug in Thailand because it can be used to make yaabaa.

It's been a couple of years since I've been to LOS, but I used to find it easy to by a medecine called 'Clarinase'... which was an antihistamine (which reduced the histamines caused by the allergic reaction) as well as pseudoephedrine for relief of decongestion.

This was a long-lasting capsule. The anti-histamine is a 'non-drowsy' type; and since the pseudoephedrine has a bit of a speed effect, I would only take one during the daytime.

'Actifed' may have a formula with pseudoephedrine, as one poster mentioned, but the common formulation has an anti-histamine which causes drowsiness. This capsule is more suitable for taking later at night.

The last time I bought Clarinase was a couple of years ago at a pharmacy in Mah Boon Krong. It was about 270 baht for a strip of 10 capsules.

The same thing costs about 12 Malaysian ringgit (about 120 baht) in Malaysia.

What are the symptoms? I have been feeling lousy (drained, weak, tired and some muscle sources). I assumed it was because of the hear and air quality in BKK lately.

Sneezing mostly, sometimes with itchy eyes. I only seem to start suffering after going or or when the balcony door is opened.

Dear OP,

I was also wondering why my dad and granddad were having more asthma attacks than usual. I found out listening to the Thai news on the radio today and it turns out that thanks to the annual drought, there has been a high number of hazes and dust in the air. This also explains why we can't see the sky today.

hope this information helps.

That would explain a lot as I am allergic to a number of things in addition to pollen, including dust.

Thanks.

another thing you can try is smearing a bit of vaseline just inside each nostril and under the eyes. pollen and dust will stick to it. Believe me it really works.

No, I haven't. But I had an itchy nose one time.

I really suffer with late season HF here in the UK, but never so much as sneezed when i was living in thailand. I've often wondered why.

The shot in the butt vaccination, how often do you have to have it done? How long does the medicine last? More info please.

The shot in the butt vaccination is meant to last for a whole year, but i only did it once and never suffered with HF again.

^ according to bedlam, moonrakers shudders at the thought of getting a shot in the arse.
