Re: A thread about constipation
OK I may as well come right out with it...I suffer from constipation. Have always been that way...so does my mum and my sister. Anyway the gastro doc talked me into a new medication...one tablet twice a day. Just picked it up from the pharmacy...cost to me for 1 months supply $18 because we have meds insurance. Cost of 1 months supply without meds insurance...almost $300!!!!
My old meds have just come off prescription...I can now buy a month's supply from Costco for $16.
How can you justify spending $300 per month to take a s***?:curse:

This morning I really needed to be out of the house early and dressed smart. My bowels did not know this and went on strike, after ten mins or so of straining I finally managed- only for toilet to overflow and spill its load continually.. until DH showed me how to turn water off. After mopping for a further ten mins and changing my (brown) suit I finally left the house.
Does anyone else's day depend on their movement? Tomorow I have to be even more groomed, suited and booted by seven, hoping the red wine will help!!

Ok, now you've got everyone interested why not (eventually) post it on http://www.ratemypoo.com so that we can all decide whether it was worth $300?

Re: A thread about constipation
I took some laxatives whilst on holiday once. Bad idea. They took 2 days to work and when they did, i couldn't find a toilet fast enough.
Never again!!!
