It’s amazing the quality of services in some counties. The one thing that never changes no matter where you go is insurance companies.

glad you're ok. the o2 was a good idea. but massages are not. you could have loosened a blood clot. Fluid on the lungs is possible pneumonia...enlarged heart is cardiomegaly..You got a full work up for $225. They wouldn't shake your hand for that price here in the US. Thanks for sharing this experience. This is so very important.I think though that the costs are miniscule if you have residency. Otherwise you would pay in AU dollar.

@greennewdealoxford 2 года назад

Having had kidney stones, I agree with the comments that the symptoms are similar. Note that I have had stones whilst sailing due to dehydration. Alcohol will dehydrate you and make the situation worse. An ultrasound of your kidneys will reveal whether you have stones but will not tell you whether you had them and passed them.

@belowgroundltd5171 2 года назад

Good to hear your doing better, interested to understand why insurance won’t pay out in first year?

@SailingABSea 2 года назад

The insurance is a compulsory component of obtaining temporary Turkish residency. When the insurance is issued there is a disclaimer that states that certain procedures and conditions are not covered in the first 12 months. Everything is covered when you take out a second year policy with the same insurer.

@ronbeattie2638 2 года назад

I have had the same thing happen. I had all the same tests, finally I went to an old English Physio practitioner. She told me that a vertebrae in line with your diaphragm can pinch a nerve cluster that runs around the front of your chest. When it spasms or I stress it by reaching up too much it bites. I agree with the 11 grade pain, it seems to paralyse your diaphragm and chest so every breath hurts like hell and it hurts to move. I also get pain on the right side up under the rib cage. Most of the time it’s fine but when it plays up I resort to heat pads on my back, vibrator, or stretching out the spine. Quite often my back does not even hurt very much while the pain in my chest/ diaphragm is extreme. Not saying that is what it is but my wife said straight away when she saw the video “that’s you”.

@SailingABSea 2 года назад

(Baz) Thanks for that insight Ron. It does sound very similar.

Wow.😳 That must have been a distressing and worrying time for both of you. I am pleased you have surfed the crisis and things are more manageable now. I am not going to slip into offering medical advice, because I have no competence in that area, but…. I would just like to share my experience with Keto - I lost 5 stone (and have since maintained that new body weight) and my sleep apnoea was completely cured and I sleep like a baby without issues. So, I would encourage you to continue and persevere in your Keto journey (it is not easy at all - but when both of you are doing it, it is much more doable. I also found a great motivator in the new tangled bio scales that work with a phone app to track not only weight but also the key measurement of body fats. Weighing myself weekly on the same day and time - produced data that encouraged me that I was making progress. Offered constructively. Hope matters continue to improve for you.😀👍⛵️

Hi Baz. I know nothing. But when You were describing Your symptoms I suspected that I might know what you are suffering from. I would guess that you have a Kidney stone or Gall stones.

@murrayspiffy2815 2 года назад

Baz - sounds 100% like a kidney stone - starts in the back - moves - jagged little edges cutting it's way to the sea. 11/10 pain (I had ten hours of out of my mind pain) pain subsides - but still with the low/mid dull pain. If it kicks in again - and goes 10/10 again - it's certainly a stone. It took 57 days to pass my first - and have have three more since. If it's less than .5mm - it'll pass on it's own - if it's bigger - you might need intervention. Keith on Sailing Zatara had a .9mm stone at sea - and passed it in two weeks. What you described was 100% to me a kidney stone attack.

@murrayspiffy2815 2 года назад

You need to pee in a cup to catch the stone. You will need to see how big the stone was - and it's mineral content. Surprised that the doctors didn't suggest it - or do an ultrasound to identify and measure.

Good you are feeling better. You are doing well to pursue this further. Tough luck with the insurance, but the price you paid without insurance in a private clinic is a fraction of the price you would have paid in Greece and I suppose even a smaller fraction of what you would have paid in other countries. If you were in Greece you would have been entitled to free hospital care in the NHS which used to be much better quality than it would appear judging from the ‘hotel type amenities’ provided as compared to the private sector, but in these covid days this is not so anymore. Do try to get to the bottom of this, it will be safer and will keep your mind in peace, more so because of the boat life you are living. Cheers mate

That other problem proved to be acute ulcerative colitis which I am being currently being treated for. There was a cancer scare but it proved that there’s no issue with that, thank you very much. UC being an autoimmune disease might have been aggravated by my recent 3rd dose covid jab, but getting covid itself might have resulted in much much worse aggrevation.. Your case might have been kidney stones mind you, the pain is excruciating, I've been there twice. Anti-inflamatory and muscle relaxant injection helps with the acute pain.

@@SailingABSea - good news - it is a stone - the slow dull pain in the majority of the passage. There will be a flair up here and there but it won't last long - then it will go back to a dull pain again - as it works its way out. Like I said - my first one took 57 days - with 55 of them in the little to no pain - and the dull pain was never far away. Dull pain means its moving through your system. You might have a couple of more episodes of 10/10 pain - but they won't last too long - but they will kick you ass up over your head. The good news is you don't die from this - it just hurts - and takes a bit of time. My 2nd 3rd and 4th episodes were pretty tame to the first and pass in less than 2 weeks.

So Glad your feeling better ....Canada's medical is extremely poor..... free means very very poor service . Attitudes are bad and Moral is at a all time low ..... God for bid you need medical here your liable to die before you get any one's attention ..... Good thing you were in a country that has realistic costs .....I had a 30 min MRI 1 month ago Cost ??? $700.00... If i waited for the public system it was a one year wait . Yup moving

Medical costs in certain countries do not realistically represent the services provided. We are very impressed with Turkey. 👍
