PostPosted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 10:56 pm    Post subject: Medical Exam Question Reply with quote

I have a position for this fall at KFUPM PYP. I suffer from Bi-polar disorder I�m a little concerned about the medical exam. The disease is well managed with mood stabilizing drugs but will this affect getting my KSA Visa? I'm also wondering if I can get these drugs in KSA or will I have to have them shipped (I know I will have to have a letter from my physician). Thanks for any information

Hi Jeff please PM me. Medical advice may not be well recieved here on this forum. Something to do with freedom of speech or something like that.

I have heard that monkeys do not like camel milk, and they get irritated from Maths teachers and Zangabeel! Laughing

Well, the Saudi medical exam does not include a test for Bi-polar disorder.
My concern is that the environment of the Magic Kingdom may accelerate your Bi-polar disorder and will lead to extreme manic episodes which may lead to hallucinations. I advise you to bring your drugs with you, especially during first months of your presence in the Magic Kingdom.

I guess the drugs for Bi-polar disorder exist in the Magic Kingdom, but you need a prescription from your doctor to get them.

Good luck.

I'm not really asking medical advice so much rather it will affect getting the visa. BTW, I was in rural Nigeria for 4 years with no problems, in fact I found being outside the US to help Very Happy .

Are you sure? I've seen a few medications available over the counter at places like Ad-Dawaa that you'd need a prescription for back home.
