so just an update on my high blood pressure tablets Search, so I'm on Amlodipine 5g and Ramipril 5g, so after many pharmacies in the bigger city's and smaller towns saying they have Amlodipine but can't get or even order Ramipril,went to the local hospital and went through the regular checks and received a mouth's supply of both tablets for 95 baht,

I’m hoping by this comes under the ‘everything else’ category! Myself and a group of friends have just returned from a fantastic three week trip to Phuket and the surrounding islands. During the last week there about half the group were bitten/stung. We are trying to identify what it could be. None of us saw or felt what bit us. The first time you are aware you have been bitten is when you notice a small blister. The blister grows in size over a few days and is incredibly painful until it pops. Some of us have been put on antibiotics as the bites got infected. Also seems to cause an upset stomach but this might just be a coincidence. The bite is not itchy - so not likely to be a mosquito or sand fly I think. Does this sound familiar to anyone??
