Errrrrrrrrrrm What did you say Oh yeh meds.Do what I`m having to do at the moment and that is when you have taken your meds set the alarm on your mobile for the next time you have to take them.

hope that helps.

Hugs :)

The DLA clever dicks advised me to use a dosset box but I pointed out that I still don't remember to take them!

I think the phone alarm is a good idea - you just have to remember to set it! ;)

yep lol do that one daily did i didnt i i cant remember so need to get box or put reminder on phone or put chart up by tablets and tickoff the times took then you will know if you remember to tick it lol love diddle x

put a reminder inside your pill box so that when you take your pills you will be rreminded to set your phone for the next time you have to take your pills, I know it sounds silly but it does work xx

I use a 7 compartment pill organiser just to get me through one day. And I try to remember to set my phone to remind myself when it is meds time (that can vary from day to day, depending on what time I have to get up.) That's the best I can come up with it, but it didn't stop me from getting into a real pickle with everything today. My mind was on other things.
