doppa

finally after over one year of trying, ive discovered that my dizziness is caused by tinnititus, of which i believe there is no cure, but some have successfully had acupuncture and cured this irritating problem, so any ideas of where i can find one please, thanks.

i'll keep it as short as possible.

for over a year iv'e had this awful dizziness, to the point of it driving me nuts now.

numerous visits to ram to identify the problem, ear, nose, throat, blood, heart, carotid arteries, and the worst fear, an mri brain scan, and this is where it get's interesting.

the mri scan was june last year, after being given the results in paper form by the nurse, the doctors meeting went well, 'nothing to concern you he said', however take these' baby asprin', it will thin your blood, sending it quicker to the brain, and hopefully cure the dizziness, i wish.

march of this year i made an appointment to see a neurologist,it was he who suggested i did all of the above tests [except the mri scan] and during one consultation he brought up on his computer the mri brain scan, and to my absolute astonishment he told me i had suffered a very minor stroke!

as you can imagine i was in total shock, there was no obvious facial signs that i'd had one [some may beg to differ] but it was the thought that the original doc who suggested the mri didn't inform me of my results,
now from where i come from , that's just bad practice, and probably more, it's just not on, why bother going to a hospital if they don't reveal whats wrong, what's the point, if this doc wasn't qualified to 'read' a brain scan,he should have referred it to a neurologist

this may be a one off, i don't know, it's now in the hands of the ram ceo, oh, and the doctor concerned has now left the hospital.

nb. i still have the dizziness, and no one seems to any nearer solving this mystery.

i will never understand the stupidity of some thai drivers, and neither will i get used to it, it just doesnt make any sense whatsoever.

yesterday some of you may have been caught up in the traffic jam at mae rim, due i understand to some royalty visiting the university, turning off the road to head toward maejo, you eventually come to a set of traffic lights, so not only had these idiots come down on the inside lane, one actually having an accident with an ambulance, they started coming down the outside lane on the other side of the road, so in essence 4 lanes of traffic.

anyone coming from phrao, wanting to take a right turn to mae rim found that the road was actually blocked by 10 or more cars trying to jockey for pole position at the lights.

what makes these people think, or the lack, of it is a complete mystery to me.[ no explanations req. thanks]

i think my 10yrs in thailand is sadly coming to a close.

incredibly expensive new.

just the off chance that someone may know where to buy, thanks
