forgetfullness!

Random topic - but does anyone else forget to take their meds? I can pretty much guarantee that I will forget both sets of daily meds at least 4 times a week! Which is crazy!!

I too keep them in a cupboard by the kettle, but since I went back to work I have forgotten them a couple of times - or worse forgotten whether I've taken them - senior moments are becoming more frequent! x x

yeah the kettle idea is a great one, only issue is I dont drink brews post-op lol.....but maybe just keeping them in my work bag would be a good idea!

Why not put them in your breakfast bowl before you go to bed (out of reach of the kids) and then they'll be there to remind you. I keep mine upstairs and don't come down in a morning untill I've taken them. When I go to bed at night its the first thing I do before getting in the shower or in bed.

I keep mine in the bathroom, in the cupboard where I have to get my toiletories.

But I do forget if I have taken then...Today?...did I?...didn't I?...did I...didn't I?

I have to take meds for various thing and kept forgetting to take them. Now, when I take my morning tablets I leave the evening tablets on top of the container. When I go into the bathroom sometime during the day and there are no tablets there I know that I haven't taken my morning dose. It works for me.
