Gah! I just got used to one schedule....

[Guest Robin Winter]

At the best of times, I'm not very good at remembering to take meds. When I first started HRT, I opted for a morning schedule, but I soon realized that wouldn't work, since I often didn't even see the mornings on my days off....So I switched to 6pm, and that worked for a day or two, then I realized I was just getting home or was not yet home at that time, so that tended to throw me off by a bit. Soooo, I finally settled on 8pm to take them, and that worked. I still forget now and then and end up off by 30 minutes or so, but no big deal.

Anyway....that worked for me now for months, no major issues....BUT....my last endo appointment saw, not only an increase in my dose...BUT also a SPLIT in my dose. I now have to take half my spiro in the am. So now I'm back to having all those original problems over again. *sigh*

I'm whining about this now because I just realized I forgot to take it...again. I also forgot to take my symbicort....so that has been corrected, but I'm off by over an hour on both.

I need, like, a medication beeper...or like, someone else to worry about it for me. Everyone should know by now that I'm irresponsible!!!

But loveable all the same Shilo!

I'd suggest setting a daily alarm for your phone to go off twice a day as a reminder but if you are anything like me you'll forget the phone. I now have no trouble remembering the meds I have to take a half hour before eating every morning because I trained the cats that I would feed them a treat at 6 every morning. I keep the treat bottle next to the meds. I may forget but the cats never do!

Now if I could just convince then that getting me up a half hour early won't mean earlier treats and what Saturday and Sunday mornings are all about! Oh, well. At least I remember the meds now.

Hope you find something that works for you too

I would do that if I had a mobile, Johnny, but I don't and don't want one. A cat, on the other hand....Yes, yes, I think that would be good. I'll need two cat's of course...one for the morning dose and one for the evening dose....

Kitties!!!!

I know an excuse to get extra kitties when I hear one Shilo

Cats can be programmed to remind you to feed then an infinite number of times I suspect. I have to be careful not to program them in fact. When I open the drawer the med and treats are in at any time they can hear it from the other end of the house 4 rooms away while sound asleep and make it back before I can sneak the drawer closed. So I carefully plan what I'm going to need for the day and take it out at 6 am too. Sigh. never said it was a perfect plan

Couldn't resist adding a pic of ome of my alarms-T'Pring
