Paphos Life

I'm no spring chicken, but my GP still prescribes Diclofenac gel for me. Thankfully, I don't appear to suffer side effects. As Paracelsus already said: Sola dosis facit venenum - the dose makes a drug a poison. I'd deem it unlikely that you'll absorb enough diclofenac to get an ulcer if you only ru...

jeba That may be so, but it won't cause gastrointestinal ulcerations, as posted by you. I always thought that long term use of omeprazole, was frowned upon. It very definitely can. I was mistakenly prescribed some at new year to relieve inflammation of a tendon. It took only 3 tablets to trigger a ...

You can buy Diclofenac gel, instead of taking tablets. That won't change the risk/benefit ratio. Depending on how big an area you're applying it to, the plasma concentration will likely be lower or higher as compared to taking a tablet (and so will be the effect). If you administer enough to achiev...

I take 1 Diclac 75 ID Hexal tablet a day, this keeps the knee inflammation down. If I stop taking them my knee swells up after a few days and make it difficult to bend my knee, and pain full too. You can buy them over the counter, the last box was €8.79 for 30 tablets. Have you spoken to your doc a...

Seems, my joke was too poor to be noticed.

How old is he?

There is also the option of having a knee replacement. I´ll get mine in 3 weeks. I´m not in too much pain yet and could manage with a crutch, but I think it won´t get any better and I want to be able to walk and run again.

I received one even though I´m not enrolled in GESY. Not sure what it´s good for, though.

Will the dams be filled with water provided for by the desalination pants, if necessary?

Are there specific reasons for the water supply problems in these 2 villages?

Of course, you can´t paint skilled workers who are in the country legally with the same brush as those who reside in Europe illegally. And of course, you can´t paint all the illegal ones with the same brush einther. However, the fact remains that they are overrepresented among prison inmates. I reme...

Stop all benefits for illegal immigrants, if necessary, provide only food and drink to maintain life. Immigrants to be housed in unused military accommodation, (if it's good enough for our troops, it's good enough for them). With guards, to prevent unaccounted for movement, either in or out. No hot...

You say that illegal immigration is not easy to control, I believe that certain measures would have immediate effect. However, no government to date, has done it. I and many other, law abiding citizens, believe that riots and civil unrest is very likely to continue, unless action is taken. What act...

Does it get cold enough in Polemi for condensation water to form at the frames of aluminium windows without insulation during winter?

In my German hometown there is a shop which sells via vending machines only on a 24/7 basis. However, the situation is different there because normal shops with sales staff by law have to close at 8 p.m., so this gives all those customers a shopping option who haven´t managed to buy during regular b...

Is there a place where you can buy roller shutters?

Maybe here?: https://www.moh.gov.cy/moh/phs/phs.nsf/ ... endocument

Shouldn´t the temperature be the lower the higher you are? At least that was my thinking when I bought a plot up the hills.

I'd feel more confident with a petrol/diesel generator because to run aircons you may well need more power/energy than an affordable battery will provide.
