MRIs are preferred over CTs for cartilaginous tissue (such as an inter-vertebral disc) and muscle tissues. MRIs are sometimes given with sedation; however, they are scheduled as such. The patient is not supposed to eat for several hours prior to receiving sedation. Most rad techs don't have the training to give sedation or perform first-aid if something goes wrong. Those are probably a couple of reasons as to why you were bounced to a different hospital.

I've seen more than one pharmacy give out antidepressants (of which one of their side effects is drowsiness) as sleeping pills. Regardless, I wouldn't continue taking these pills until you are sure you know what they are.

Diclofenic is a NSAID like Ibuprofen. In other words, long-term use can put you at risk for many systemic problems, particularly renal damage. I'd also suggest giving acupuncture a try. There several studies which show a correlation between acupuncture treatments and relief from pain. Good luck.

Most glaucoma patients will need to use eye drops daily. The main function of the eye drops will be to lower pressure in your eye. The way these glaucoma drugs work, depending on which ones you receive, will either be to reduce the amount of aqueous fluid produced in your eye or to improve the efficacy of the system which drains excess fluid from the eye. The latter drug, known as a prostaglandin, can change the color of one's iris to brown. Glaucoma is manageable. With proper treatment, you can stop the vision loss from progressing. And even though your eye pressure may be w/in normal range now, it can fluctuate greatly.

There are also surgical treatments available, such as laser treatments which can open the trabecular meshwork that drain fluid from the anterior chamber. In some cases, surgeons can install drains which remove excess the fluid from within the eye and indirectly route it into systemic circulation.

Most patients opt for medical treatment over surgical.

As for seeking treatment in Thailand; an eye specialist theoretically should be able to diagnose and medically treat you for glaucoma. Personally, I think they do decent dentistry in Thailand, but I've never been a big fan of their medical practices. Regardless, if you have any other conditions (diabetes, hypertension, COPD, etc) then make sure you tell your ophthalmologist.

Try checking with Bumrungrad's digestive disease center (or that of another hospital--Bumrungrad seems to be overpriced these days)
