  1. There's a name for it - 'small man syndrome'. Think back a few hundred years. Does the name Napoleon Bonaparte spring to mind?
  2. Thailand is a mongrel country, with people from numerous neighbouring or not so neigbouring countries, just like Britain (especially me!).
  3. Yup, I read somewhere in the last few days that over 70% of Russians back Putin and his attack on Ukraine. They may well live to regret that they have been brainwashed for decades now that their country has become the new pariah of the world, when they can't get petrol, smartphones, and even bread.
  4. @mokwit @MarkyM3 Many thanks for your technical contributions, chaps and when I've re-read them about 6 more times I will respond! ???? I have tried half a dozen times or more to get my free testosterone checked in Thailand and have been told the same number of times that they don't test for it here, only total testosterone. I read something above about calculating it from total test, but I speed-read both posts and only got the gist. The thing is, I am due to see the andropause doc again on Tuesday next week, the 31st, so I would like to get some ducks in a row beforehand. What's a 'must test for' that I haven't already had? (It's probably been mentioned in one of your posts, but could we make a list of what else to check? The other interesting thing is the mention of bone density because I was told about 11 or 12 years ago that I have osteopenia, and take 1500 mgs calcium and Vit D twice daily. I had a back X-ray the other week and that has deteriorated since the last one 3 years ago, but that's mainly cartilage thinning - but even I immediately noticed my spine was now not straight and has started to curve to the right slightly. I did have the L5 vertebra slightly misplaced 3 years ago but that has now expended to the L4 and the L2 and L3 are going too. I don't have a lot of back pain though. A twinge here and there, but then again I've lost a total of about 55 kgs in the last 4 years which must have helped, at least somewhat. Let me digest all the stuff you've sent and thanks again for your help.
  5. I just carry on doing my bits of part time teaching English and hence assist Thais in bettering their life. If I could play the cello, maybe I would help you with that too.
  6. Nowt really te dee wi' ye, is it, wor kid? It's been gannin' alang for a geet few months noo, marra, 'n' Aa've pretty well accepted what's gannin' on by noo. Just is lang as Aa kin get a bit uh legower once a week, Aa'm happy. Ye canna change gettin' owld, but ye kin at least try t' slow things doon.
  7. No problem. ???? Yes, Sidegra are 250 baht at the Nana pharmacy I use, but at the hospital they were only something like 152 baht. They worked well too! ????
