Good News from Bangkok

I reported back in March on my experience with medical tourism in Bangkok and my dealing with the issues of gout and kidney function diminution. I am continuing under the care of the doctors there. We have telemedicine visits. My local doctor orders the tests and the drugs. The telemedicine visits are about $70 each. 

I had my latest one yesterday. Good news all around. My uric acid (key gout causing component) is down to normal levels, and my key kidney function metric has returned to the 'good' category. The meds I'm using are not causing any damage to anything else in my body. So it will be keeping things on hold with the meds, my diet changes, and the increased hydration with another check up in six months.
