Complicated pill regime

[Inamoment]

I was ok until a few days ago, half a dozen morning and evening plus one at lunchtime. But now one of the morning ones is half an hour before eating, one is with food and one is an hour after coffee. And I've a couple which are once a week. My warfarin is 3 1/2 one day, 4 the next. I've bought a more complicated pill box! The eat with food twice a day one is something where you do actually get the side effects, in my case with a vengeance so that came with seven boxes of pills to get round the side effects. The dose increases every week and apparently missing a dose is a very bad thing.

I've got pills everywhere!

It is horrible. My poor wife is on a increasing dose with one medication and decreasing on an other. Others with food, others without. It can get very confusing. My wife sets her alarm on her phone to act as a reminder. I know the feeling about pills everywhere. My daughter collected both my wife's and my own medications last week and came out with 3 carrier bags. Stay safe and well.

That sounds complicated but I hope you’ll be able to cope with your regime. Take care xxx

I know,it’s really difficult.

I set alarms on my phone for pain killers.

Also make a note of what I’ve taken.

My bag of supplies seems to be getting bigge by the month.

Stay safe everyone.

My mum gets so confused with her meds. I’ve written it down and laminated the list now in timeline order and she keeps it on her kitchen worktop.
