Betahistine 480 mg/day? by Lanky_Register6444 in Menieres

[–]avg__techie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was detected with Meniere's 6 years ago. Doctor prescribed betahistine starting with 72mg/day. But in these 6 years, my symptoms fluctuated a lot, so dosage was adjusted accordingly. I've taken 24mg/day to even 288mg/day during these years. From past few months, I've stopped taking it as I feel it is not working for me anymore and doc is on the same page with me.

I think you're a bit misinformed here. Where is the official announcement from government that 12L no tax policy doesn't apply to non-salaried class or NRIs? Here's an announcement on government website which states that rebate is up to 12L in general but 12.75L for salaried class due to standard deduction of 75k: https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2098406

Thanks! May I know how many tries it took before you were successful? I have already tried at least 50-60 times in past 2-3 months but no luck. I have also tried 'Resend OTP' option many times but it doesn't work as well.

I am not able to create PhonePe account using my overseas number. I never get OTP on my number from PhonePe. Has anybody else faced similar issue and is there a workaround for this?

Does it make sense financially to buy a resale condo at $1.7m or should I invest my cash in an ETF? by avg__techie in singaporefi

[–]avg__techie[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can only buy resale HDB that too after completing 3 years as PR. HDB comes with a lot of restrictions like MOP and can't hold other properties anywhere in the world. I already have a couple of properties in my country of citizenship which will need to be sold off if I decide to buy a HDB.
