    I vaguely remember a similar problem from the early days of the covid vaccination.  When one tried to register online one could enter one's "Thai ID number" from the Pink ID but the numbers on the back of the card weren't accepted as they were in a different format than those on a blue Thai ID card.

    The back of my wifes thai id starts with 2 letters , where the back of my pink card is all numbers

    If anyone is interested in pursuing the SSO Section 40 thing further here is the application form referenced by the QR code in the Ministry of Labor link given earlier:  

    https://www.sso.go.th/section40_regist/

    The form is in Thai so you may wish to open the link in the Chrome browser to get automatic Thai to English translation.  You might wish to respond in Thai as well to improve the chances of your application succeeding.  I have my doubts about it succeeding and then even if successful whether it would actually be honored at a public hospital is unlikely it seems to me.  But if there's a pioneer out there who would like to give it try I would like to hear your experience. ????

    Tried entering my details on the link provided , it accepted the front number on the pink card but would not accept the number that is on the back . Will go off to the local SSO office myself in the next couple of days . Will report on what the outcome is .

    And surely the meds are going to be cheaper shipped from India. I was tipped about a reliable supplier in India called Oddway. We ordered a generic for the wife's Dad's prostate cancer. Reliable and cost effective. 

    I hope this helps one of you here, and do report back on Oddway as I am just exploring TRT myself.

    Still learning from many of you here!

    Fun fact India is the worlds largest supplier of pharmaceuticals. 

     

    20 x 1ml 250mg test e costs me 3700 baht .

    Thanks Greg.

     

    HCG doesn't tend to get prescribed by UK doctors working in public health (which is where my treatment has been done) as an adjunctive. Typical protocol is either T + an AI if desired (and provided you have a reasonable endo) or HCG + AI if you explicitly want kids. I suspect that hasn't helped and I plan to see a private doctor specialising in this when I return to the UK and I'll pay for a private prescription for HCG.

     

    Been on various treatments for 3 years (Nebido, various gels) and not been happy with any of them. Also worried about testicular atrophy due to the lack of HCG. 

     

    I've tried Cialis (and Viagra) and it does work OK but I get side effects from them. They didn't boost my libido particularly imo, just helped downstairs but I've found the effect has worn somewhat, with Cialis at least, over time. 

     

    I got good figures on Nebido but didn't really prove to be effective imo. I find gels a total pain though and they aren't that good for the skin either.  

    Check this facebook group out , has a lot of members and doctors who actually care about optimizing your hormone levels . you be able to ask for a doctor in the UK who will look after you https://www.facebook.com/groups/670172930008544

    Just for you, seeing as you've obviously not gone through this thread and seen the links to the evidence previously posted, plenty more where that came from.

     

    BA.2 is more transmissible than BA.1 but vaccinated persons are less likely to be infected and to pass on infection

     

    https://en.ssi.dk/news/news/2022/ba2-more-transmissible-than-ba1-vaccinated-less-likely-to-infected-pass-on-infection

     

    That does not say that the vaccinated does NOT transmit  it . Anyway enjoy your weekend matey

    Yes, so he doesn't transmit the virus to the old, obese and otherwise ill already. Or he might transmit it to someone who will in turn transmit it to the old, obese or otherwise unhealthy. If he wants not to get a vaccine he should not be allowed anywhere where he might come into close contact with the old, obese or otherwise unhealthy.

    If im not mistaken those who are vaccinated can and do transmit it onwards to others just as much as the unvaxxed .

    Repeated Covid Boosters Not A Viable Strategy: WHO

     

    WHO experts warned Tuesday that repeating booster doses of the original Covid vaccines is not a viable strategy against emerging variants and called for new jabs that better protect against transmission.

     

    An expert group created by the World Health Organization to assess the performance of Covid-19 vaccines said simply providing fresh jabs of existing Covid vaccines as new strains of the virus emerge was not the best way to fight the pandemic.

     

    "A vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable," the WHO Technical Advisory Group on Covid-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-Co-VAC) said in a statement.

    May be an image of text that says 'news.com.au Technology Science Human Body Pfizer boss says two doses provide 'limited protection, if any' against Omicron Pfizer's chief executive has revealed that two doses of the current Covid-19 vaccine offer "very limited protection, if any" against Omicron.'

    I'm 67 and triple vaccinated but there's no guarantee that I won't get sick and even if I survive that I won't get long covid. The world can go on in a normal way for vaccinated people but for the unvaccinated their access to places where they might infect others should be severely curtailed. There is still plenty of delta around and unvaccinated people pose the greatest risk to everyone else.

    Would you fully support the denial of medical services to smokers , drug addicts , the obese ? Your thinking that the unvaxxed are to blame for transmissions , it seems to me that the masses of vaxxed are to blame for the spread of this flu .
