I don't suffer from gout itself, but what my doctor call pseudo gout. When it attacks it is almost the same. I can't walk on the foot till it subsides which sometimes can take days. I have tried many things like Apple Cider Vinegar, tablets of all kinds, and even steroid shots.

Someone recommended glucosamine, so I tried it. I take a daily dose with an orange flavored power called Flexsa which I get from the pharmacy in the front of old Tesco. Not cheap - 900+ Baht for a months supply - but thus far since I have been taking it, no attacks. I may be just lucky but, knock wood, I think it is due to the glucosamine.

It may not be the same as what you're taking, but a 30 pack of Glucosa 1500 at P&F Pharmacy (bottom floor of Central) is 450 baht (box is marked 900baht). The same is at Forte Pharmacy on the ring road for 300 (but often not in stock).

I get the gout once or twice a year and am a monty for a dose when I am sitting on me fat arse after Christmas watching the Boxing Day test. My doctor gives me indocid, an anti-inflammatory drug. and if I take it as soon as I feel the giddy giddy gout coming on then I am fine. I also find that when I am well hydrated (water) it doesn't matter what I eat or drink - I don't get the gout.

Has anyone had or know of anyone having a colonoscopy and endoscopy done at the Military hospital here in udon ?
If yes were they satisfied with the procedure and what was the cost. Any reliable feed back will be appreciated. Alternatively other hospitals in Udon ?
Many thanks

My wife had an endoscopy at AEK about 8 years ago so, a while back.

At the time though I was very impressed.

We went to the hospital at about 8AM as she had a stomach complaint. They did various tests before doing the endoscopy and we were home before 1PM.

Total cost, with meds, was about 8000.
