  Hi Sheryl, thanks a lot, what you have said, makes perfect sense, I hope you are right, I dread the  hot weather coming, but there's no way I want to go back to England.
     Thanks

  Thanks again for your replies.
    Robby nz   Up till now, I havn't bothered to ask for a print out of my blood test. I have been content when they have told me everythings clear, next time I will ask.
    Deserted,  when I went to Bumrungrad, the thyroid gland was one of the things that they checked, again, everything was fine.
    Rak sa       Your comments are intresting, but I find it hard to think that could be it. I know at 63yrs old i'm not getting any younger, & i'm going out with the local fast lads who are 20 & 30yrs younger than me , but i've been a cyclist nearly all my life. I started racing at 15 & rode my last TT at 40 & I raced in Hong Kong where it's very hot with no problems, but I was younger then. After finishing some races or training rides, i've been in some states, but i've never had anything like this.  I don't normally sweat a lot until I finish on the bike, but a couple of days before this comes on, especially while on the bike, I will sweat buckets, & my legs feel like lead, it also feels like there's a steel band round my muscles. I agree I think it's something to do with the heat, but what?I will try to find a sports doctor though. Thanks, I've not rode the London to Oxford ride, but i've rode the Manchester to Blackpool a few times, they were great fun.
     Does anyone know anything about IV vitamin C therapy, I don't eat much fruit or veg & a friend sugested I should try it. He takes 100grams each time, & say he feels great after it. I've read a bit about it, & they sugest starting at 20gr & working up to maybe 100gr. but when I asked the hospital they refused to to give me more than 1gram & they said it's alternative medicine & they would not recomend it. Is there anyone who as any experence with it, & know of anywhere close to Buriram where I could get it done, has long has it's safe that is

  Hi Sheryl, hi Mrjlh, thanks to both of you for your replies.
     Mrjlh, I haven't tried the hospital for tropical diseases yet in Bk, but I went to Bumrungrad hospital last year, & they give me a complete medical, & could not find anything wrong. When I was last in England I went into the Tropical desease Unit in the North Staffs hospital, & even though I was to weak to walk, they could not find anything, but they would not let me out until I could walk about 20mtrs comfortable, that took 3wks. I don't mind the traveling, so when it comes on again, I will give Bangkok a try. Thanks
     Sheryl, I don't know what my blood tests were, only that everything was clear, but like you said, it's unlikley that they would be able to test for anything like you sugested.
      Medicine i'm not on any at all.
     I'm a cyclist, & I go out most days, but usualy at about 6.30am & i'm back at 8 before it gets to hot, except for Sundays when I will do about 100kms so somtimes it is a bit hot. I must admit it does seem to come come on after I finish on the bike, but with being a cyclist & i've been one for many years, I take plenty of drink. I usually take electrolytes with a bit of glucos mixed in, & last year, I took it nearly every day all day, I thought I was overdosing on it, can you overdose on it?  I don't add salt to anything, & I don't drink alcohol at all.  I normally go into the bedroom after launch in the aircon, so I do take it easy, most of the time.
    The local doctor who I see, is a young man & a fellow cyclist, so he knows how fit I normally am, but like everyone else, he's at a loss to what to do now. Is there anything else you can think of. Thanks again

I GuestHouse, just read your artical, enjoyed it very much, I could never beat the hour, did a few 1hr 0 0 & 1hr 1, but just could not get below the hr, wish I had a cateye then. From what you were saying, it sounds like we were racing in the same era, the 60s or am I being cheeky.
Joined Tunstall whls at 15 & was going Ok, until I joined the Army. Even though I used to race for the Army, there was no one to train with, so I went backwards, instead of forwards, but I did manage to win the ocasional race. After leaving the Army I had a lay off of about 20yrs before coming back to a sport I love.
  I brought my bike with me when I came over here about 12yrs ago, but about 6yrs ago, I collapsed {nothing to do with cycling}.I was in hospital for a few months & the first thing I did when coming out of hospital, was to stop at Pro Bike & buy a wind trainer. It was 6mths before I could walk, but has soon has I could walk to the gate, I got on my bike. At first I could only do 5mins, on the trainer, it took awhile but when I could ride for 2hrs, I then went on the road.
My wife bought me a Trek carbon for Xmas,isn't she good, I now ride most days, anywhere between 40klm & 70klm with a 100plus some Sundays.  I go out alone or with a bunch of Thai lads who are 20 & 30 yrs younger than me, & I normaly get dropped in the last 5k, but even though i'm hanging on & suffering most of the time, I still love it. The Thai lads who I go out with make me so welcome, I could not imagine being anwhere else or doing anything else. I love it

Hi Wenne,   tried both your sugestions, cyclingfans.com can't get at all, they say it's not available in my area, Buriram. I then tried livetv on Sat, I tried all the streams that were showing, but they all said off air. I tried again on
Sun & bingo, I managed to get Paris- Nice with the Veemi Stream, it was only a small picture, not full screen, & it kept stopping & starting, but  I still enjoyed it. I tried Sopcast, I downloded the soft ware, but all that I got was a blank screen
  I also tried TVants stream, but Explorer could not find. Do you have the same problems? Thanks
