Remember your steroids when you go away but don't forget your other medication(s)

I was only away for three days at Christmas and had carefully counted out my steroids for that time. Not until I felt distinctly wobbly while clearing up after Christmas lunch for my daughter did I realise that I had completely forgotten my beta blockers. Abandoned clearing up, retreated to peaceful front room, put my feet up and all was well. But a warning for the future! Happy New Year to everyone.

Yes, I do have one but had used it for my steroids and supplements and had meant to pack the beta blockers in their packaging. Found them on kitchen counter when I got back. Still all's well that ends well.
