Actually Craig, that was your 1st mistake. LOL.

Seriously though, it was very thoughtful of you and I am sure your wife would certainly appreciate your efforts to help her.

Frank - are you on Copaxone? Doesn't the little site reaction give you an indication that you took the shot? I've been on C for a couple of years now and I still get a reaction (although a lot smaller than in the beginning).

You crack me up. I guess today is not going to be a good memory day for me since it's started out so crazy. LOL. I will not attempt to do heavy concentration today.

It's for this reason my wife doles out all of my meds in daily and hourly containers. There is just too much there for me to remember and double doseing and skipping doses is very probable.

Even now as I'm sick with the flu/bronchitis, I get my sick sick meds confused and forget to take them in a timely manner. It seems like my whole day revolves around taking meds. What a life..............:(

I'm embarrassed to say this but I only take 3 meds, Neurontin, Celexa, and Copaxone. It really shouldn't be this difficult to remember. LOL.

I am sorry you are not feeling well Craig. The flu has hit our state pretty bad. I hope you start to feel better soon.

My world revolves around my bill box. Two weeks ago, I took my "afternoon" meds. Before dinner, I couldn't keep my eyes open and realized what I'd done. I took my "night" meds which put me to sleep. Dad fed me dinner early. (sprained ankle, I wasn't mobile) I dozed on the couch the rest of the night. Took my afternoon meds at 11pm and slept well all night. I must have needed the extra rest.

:hug:

I usually am pretty good about taking the right meds at the right time...but one morning I got the prilosec pill box down, and the dog's antihistamines down, and took my pill. I looked on the counter and noticed my prilosec was still in the pill holder...I had taken the dog's antihistamines...two of them.:eek:

I had a really great nap that morning...:icon_redface:

hugss all, what was my name again???:o:hug:

I've got too many ooops to remember them all! :eek: But, they all usually end up in the funny story log. ;)

Right before I got diagnosed, I introduced my boss of over 10 years at a meeting of 500 people by the wrong name. You should have seen HIS face! I had no idea what was wrong but I knew he wasn't liking it. The next year at the same type meeting, I fell off the stage. Yep, just standing there & BLAM. :Slip:

Oh lordy....good times! :Doh:

Or how about this, you accidentally take a double dose because you forgot you already took it?

Or like I caught myself doing this morning - I take 2 Neurontin before bed time and 1 in the a.m. I almost just took 2 this morning had them in my mouth and everything. That would have knocked me out for the rest of the day! And, to top it off, I really should have been taking my Celexa and now can't remember if I actually took it the Celexa.

Boy have I made a mess this morning. LOL. The good news is that none of it would be harmful to me. 2 Neurontins will knock me out but 2 Celexa's (total of 20 mg) will hype me up - so one will cancel out the other. LOL.

I do this everyday, wondering did I take this or that. The one
time I realized that I took 2 of my heart meds. I called the ER to see if
anything will happen. It is a pill to slow my hear rate, I have irregular beats.
When she told me is will be ok that was taking a 1000 pd. load off my
mind.
