I rented at the Peak Towers for a couple years. It does get some pretty strong winds during storms, so I would definitely be concerned if they built more floors than they were allowed to. It's got beautiful views on the beach side. My only input is probably generic for hi-rises, there aren't enough facilities for the number of people that live there. There are 2 pools with a total of ~20-30 chairs and a smallish gym and 30ish floors with ~10 units per floor. So when residency picked up post-covid it was difficult to get a seat at the pool or use the common gym. However, this is likely the case with most hi-rises. I moved to a low rise and am happier here with the ratio of residents to facilities here.
When you lived at The Peak Towers was there much within walking distance such as any night life ?

Carlosm, it might help if you share the model of rowing machine? I brought a Concept II rowing machine from the UK and found a sports equipment supplier who has both serviced and repaired the machine for 15 years with branded spare parts. http://www.searasports.com to find out if yours is included in their extensive range. Good luck!

Looks like they come from China, so I'd look at AliExpress in addition to EBay. (Start your AliExpress search with "clockwork spring") I hope they have one that matches your configuration with regards to length, width, etc.
Tried EBay but way too expensive delivery charge. Been trying with Aliexpress but slow replies.

My rowing machine coil spring has snapped. I live rural and therefore have to buy a new one online. I thought it would be easy but I don't know the name of the spring. After googling for quite some time I think it's called a volute spring. That said I still can't find one online using either Lazada or Shopee. Therefore, if anyone knows either where to buy one online or a shop that can deliver would they let me know.

Use of addtionsl drugs, such as tricylics or venlafaxine might allow a lower dose of gabapentin with same of better results.
And/or pregbalin might give more
Relief. Some stidies have shown itis more effective than gabapentin in conyrolling pain of fiabetic neuropathy.
There are down sides to taking gabapentin especially in such large dose. Inclufind tremor, increased bone loss with risk of fracture, visual problems and psychiatric conditions.
Obviously when in severe pain, pain control comes first but if it were possible to get equivslalent psin control on lower dose of gaba or on another drug it would be better.
I continue to suggest you see psin management specialist at KKU.
Wow, those drugs you mentioned are really expensive :-

Thanks though, it will be next year when i can go to see the pain specialist, i will let you know how it works out.

A very high dose indeed (more on that later).
As you are taking Gabapentin GPO which comes in no more than 300 mg strength, you are taking 12 tablets a day. So a little more than 3 1/2 boxes (box of 100) per month.
I got boxes of 100 tabs of Gapentin GPO 300 mg last April for 450 baht per box at a large pharmacy in Bangkok. If coming to Bangkok is possible for you I will share location details.
The online pharmacy site Medtide has it for 640 baht a box and will deliver to you. While much more than discount pharmacy in Bangkok this would still be a lot less than you currently pay. https://medtide.com/product/gabapentin-gpo-300-mg-100-capsules-box/
Note that you will need to register for an account (which is free) before you can get it to show specific medication prices.
I suggest you also ask the online pharmacy Medisafe. You have to do so through Facebook messenger, search function on their website does not work. https://www.facebook.com/Medisafe.Pharmacy.Rama4/
Both Medtide and Medisafe are completely reliable services.
Ask Medisafe for quotes for both Gabapentin 300mg and Gabapentin 600 mg as there are several locally made brands that come in 600 mg strength, which would be more convenient for you and possibly also cheaper.
Aside from this I think you need a second opinion on management of your neuropathy. Addition of a second drug, such as venlafaxine or a tricylcic antidepressent, might help. See https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23659514_Gabapentin_and_Venlafaxine_for_the_Treatment_of_Painful_Diabetic_Neuropathy
Other things that might help are:
- acupuncture
- use of TENS machine
- local application of capsacin ointment
From Pechabun, the best place to go is Khn Kaen University Hospital (Srinagarind). They have a pain clinic.
#Sheryl, in this post you mentioned 'more on that later' regarding my high dose of gabapentin, Just wondering what more you were thinking, thanks.

Is that reply from Medsafe or Meditide? You should certainly not send Medsafe messages about their competitor. They are touchy enough as it is.
Nothing at all wrong with Medtide or their products, go ahead and order from them.
Did Medsafe they tell you what brand this was at 100 tabs of 990 baht? And what brand do you get locally? Price differences this wide must reflect different brands
Re the selling only 2 boxes, I had issues with them in the past ordering large quantities as they accused me, in effect, of being a reseller (which I most definitely am not!) With some persistance I was finally able to get the large order through (a year's supply of several meds). Of course in your case with the Gabapentin, you are on a larger dose than most people so they might think 2 boxes was already a many months supply. If you have a copy of doctor's note saying dose of 3,600 mg it may help.
I get Namedia brand glipizide.
Medisafe never mentioned the brand of Glipize.
Medtide are very fast delivering. Ordered and paid for on Wednesday and already have it with me now. Will use them again.

Here's their quote :-
glipizide 5mg - 990( 100 tabs)/ Metformin HCI 500mg -450 ( 500 tabs).simvatatin 20 280 ( 100 tabs)
Here's what i said :-
Have you the right price for glipizide ? this site is 340bt/100 ... https://medtide.com/product/glipizide-gipzide-5-mg-10-tablets-strip/
Here's their reply :-
We do not have this brandAnd we do not sell expired medsThis website is not legalNo issues you can choose this websiteNo problem. We cancel whole so you can save more we always want our customer get best price -

They are indeed touchy, I have had issues with them like this as well. Best to never question a price. Just thank them for info and place order if desired. Though it may be worth verifying brand name and quantity first. As glipized is a misspelling I suspect they misunderstood and thought you mean Glimepiride. Which comes in boxes of 100 and indeed costs over 900 baht.
Give Medisafe a few days rest and try again but without any discussion, just request to order the Gabapentin. Worst case, have someone else do it for you via a different facebook account. But I think if you let a few dfays pass and then just message a request to order the gabapentin it will go through OK.
You can get glipizide 5 mg 30 tabs in a box for B 190 a box here https://medtide.com/product-tag/glipizide/
Funny you pointed that out, already ordered from them and its on the way with a couple of boxes of gabapentin. They only sell 2 boxes at a time, strange.
Also, thought the same, will give it a month then make up another FB account and try again.

Medisafe a refusing to serve me any meds due to the fact i ordered glipized and they wanted to charge me 990bt per box when my local pharmacy only charges 340bt. I told them this (politely) and they spat their dummy out and said 'well go buy all your drugs there' and now will not even communicate with me. I tried apologizing but they are in full sulk mode, wouldn't even talk to me on the phone ... crazy !

Medisafe Pharmacy are very well priced. Gabapentin 600mg is 950bt/box of 100. Thats around 1,750bt a month... wow, big saving from my local suppliers. The pharmacy near me charges 950bt/box for the 300mg capsules !
Again, i'd like to thank Sheryl for the very helpful and informative post ! ????

3600mg (max) still in pain but manageable.

What brand did you get at pharmacy? And what pharmacy fid you ho yo?
There are locally made generic equolivalents (e.g. Gabapentin GPO) which cost much less.
You need a real Thai pharmacy that carries generics (i.e. not a Boots or Watsons etc). Where in Thailand are you?
I'm in the district of Phetchabun. Get my gabapentin from the local hospital, it is the GPO version. Have been looking at similar pain relievers such as Lyrica but the cost is just the same.

I have a severe case of diabetic neuropathy. If i sit or lay down my feet feel like they are on fire, its agony. Tried ever painkiller up to morphine, did very little. Eventually i was prescribed gabapentin, worked well, reduced the pain by half.
Unfortunately it is very expensive. Around 4,200bt a month from the hospital, even more expensive from a pharmacy and i cannot afford it. Unfortunately i am low on cash, built a snooker hall just before covid and its been closed ever since.
So, does anyone with diabetic neuropathy have another medication that is cheaper but still helps relieve the pain ? if so i would be very grateful.
