I’m on medication.
Those of you who know me will have one of two reactions, I imagine.
1. Yeah. I knew she was on something.
2. Nah. Really? Nah, she’s not on medication, she needs medication!
Well thanks. You see drugs and me are not a good combination.
I’m supposed to take these little tablets, one in the morning and one in the evening. I am not supposed to miss a dose. If I do miss a dose I need to try and catch up as quickly as possible.
I am useless at remembering. I have done a couple of things to try and help me remember though.
I have a note blu-tacked to the back door that says “TABLET”. I’ve also written on the cardboard box containing the tablets. On one side I’ve written “Morning” and on the other side “Afternoon” to help me remember whether I’ve taken a morning or afternoon dose. I turn the packet so the word that is uppermost is the last dose I’ve taken.
OK so this makes me sound like I’m about eighty years old. But that’s how I feel because, even with these pathetic memory aids ,I still forget to take this wretched medication.
I would set an alarm on my phone but I know I’d dismiss the alarm and wouldn’t actually act on the alarm.
Does anybody have a foolproof method that I can use, please?

If you feel slowly odd over a number of days, you've forgotten to take...If you feel suddenly odd it's the 2nd one you've accidently taken...I do it by feel ;-)
I feel odd daily. Not sure it's a guide. :)
