My Most Miserable Week Ever in Thailand

  • Having been all through the pandemic here, I can tell you whatever I contracted this week, has been far, far worse. After thinking it would abate or ease up on its own after a few days, we head off to a local doctor on the fifth day of misery to find out what the problem is. Could this be a one off or is this the start of something much bigger and new.

    I'm glad you are on the mend. I retired 4 months ago and was diagnosed with stsge 4 cancer. I start chemo and radiation tomorrow at the Kings hospital in bangkok. It has been a rough 6 weeks figuring it out. My thai wife is incredible.

    I can totally relate to Lon and your trip to the bathroom. I went through the same sort of thing with my second wife--she made a late-night trip to the loo and fainted before she got there. It freaked me the heck out and I remained nervous about her nighttime toilet trips for about a year.

    Lucas, so sorry that you haven't been well. It wouldn't be a visit to the doctors without a few tablets. Larn is such a good woman! Ive been back in Sydney for 10 days and I honestly feel like I have something similar.

  • @grayone321
    @grayone321 9 днів тому +1

    Great you are on the mend. Sometimes just a visit to the doc can help speed the recovery. I reckon as you get older you should delay doc visits. But having Lan beside you is probable the best help in recovering. Stay well

  • @unionjack470
    @unionjack470 9 днів тому +2

    Hi Lucas, glad you are on the mend, I had something similar in pattaya, woke up to go to the toilet and passed out on the floor, next thing I knew my girlfriend was putting cold water on my face and bringing me round. Never in my life have I fainted before.
    After that I had un controllable shivers and diarrhoea.
    It was a couple of days before I felt better.
    I put it down to either food poisoning or a spiked drink.
    You take care.

    Lucas, I had a very similar thing in December for 2 weeks, into the new year. Headaches, sinus pain, and no appetite. Worst sinus infection ever. Took at least 10 days to get over it. It left me with little energy. Not a coincidence, the air in Pattaya is filthy. Someone pointed me in the directed of one of these old European Doctors, Oliever or something. He was a quack, without a clue. Fortunately I decided to have Bangkok Hospital take care of it. Glad you're better.

    2 weeks in December….Before Christmas and after New Year's….Here in Arizona I was absolutely knocked out sick. No fever, regular bathroom but I had zero energy and could not sleep I was in bed for 14 days before I kicked it….Lost 15 pounds, didn't even want to drink water….Got a couple of IV infusions with full antibiotics and super vitamin….But it all just had to run its course….And even after was really over I still haven't felt the hundred percent….So thank your lucky stars that you survived it.

    I've had a number of undiagnosed viral illnesses over the years. The worst one involved being unable to eat or drink anything other than water, having to crawl to the toilet and night sweats that left the bed soaked in the morning. I wish I could have bottled it, as it was the most effective dieting aid ever!

Coughing, snot , flem, aching, cold sweating proper fever, can't sleep because your coughing. Proper bit of flue. I went to bed on a Friday after getting home from work and got up Sunday afternoon. My mate just got it about a month after me and says it was horrific. Your not on your own. Enjoy the content keep it up, makes my night.

I religiously take my annual Flu and Covid vaccines and haven't had them since that time. The problem is so many different illnesses have the same symptoms! Bangkok Hospital has a good reputation and that's a good place to start when you're sick. Lan is doing what many good Thai women do( taking great care of their partner, especially in times of need)!
