Pill Cutter

Until PMRPro made me aware that there were such things as pill cutters I have managed (to various degrees) with a sharp knife. Now I have a new toy. Whilst thinking of PMRPro in the Alps I saw a picture of the Santis Hotel in the Times with all snow in its Dining Room. Santis schwebebahn was the first cable car I had ever been on. My mother would not go up with us and stayed at the bottom. There was only one problem she had no money on her. Anyway her knowledge of German saved the day and someone lent her some. Happy memories of long ago.

I wouldn't have know about pill cutters either if it wasn't for this forum. My rheumy wanted my to decrease by .5mg a month by alternating doses i.e. 12mg one day 11mg the next. I couldnt work out how to use a tapering plan doing that so I bought a pill cutter

Don't know about yours but mine is a natty little thing rather like a mouse - very pleased with it so far. I take magnesium tablets as well as predisolone and have difficulty swallowing them. Now I have started to halve them. Much better.
