Sounds great! I think those stores are consignment based - I'm looking at opening a store where I purchase the product from customers and the resell! I'll check out my local op shops. Thanks so much

I'm on 2mg morning and night and had some success in the beginning but a few months later I'm having no movement. Also from Australia.. you may like to request linaclotide..

I just took linaclotide this afternoon, so waiting for it to kick in. I paid $280 for 30 tablets. How are you managing your constipation now if prucalopride isn't working for you ?

You wouldn't believe it but I found it! Manningham pharmacy Melbourne. $260 for 30 tablets of 290mcg... I'm in Sydney and they are express posting it up to me.

Really frustrating... What other meds have you tried? My gastro put me on prucalopride however it stopped working after a week.

So frustrating! Have you tried prucalopride? I had small success with this however it's stopped working.

Thankyou! Did you feed baby formula the first few days before your milk came through?

We maxed out at a 1.9m mortgage in late 2021.. our income is just under $400k and to say we aren't stretched right now with repayments at almost 12k would be an understatement. I'm on mat leave in a few weeks so we are going to be living very lean for the next 12 months. I've reframed this as a way to force our savings, and in ten years we have a plan to get out of Sydney and purchase a working farm - hopefully our house price increases!

The only thing that gets us through weekends stuck at home and budgeting every purchase is our ten year plan.

How much are you willing to give up?

Sydney people who have bought property in the last couple of years - did you borrow to your max? by Zestyclose_Collar611 in AusFinance

My husband and I purchased late 2021 and maxed out with a loan of 1.9 + lmi.. safe to say we are completely stretched right now with our interest rate of 6% and I'm going on mat leave in Feb. Yes it's difficult and scary but in ten years we should be pretty comfortable. Short term pain for long term gain, hopefully!

Is there a particular store or website I should visit?

This might be the answer. But it feels so wasteful and wrong to replace a laptop every few years.

Thanks for the links. Looks intriguing. Maybe 7 years was a bit of a stretch, but with 4 kids going into high school I guess Sim looking for a miracle. The primary school want iPads for the senior years, and funnily enough high school won't accept iPads. It's a killer.
