That does it.

We need to market pill boxes that have hip designs for younger folks

I want one with suns, moons and stars all over it!

It will make your life so much easier and safer.

I got a pill box because a few minutes after I took a pill, I was already doubting myself that I actually took it. It was driving me crazy. I load it up each day with my doses of pills, plus two Tylenol in two compartments just in case I need to take them, and I'll also know for sure that I didn't take any more than four in one day.

I love the idea of the ice cube tray.

My problem now is that I completely forget to take my meds!

I guess it is time to purchase a pill box and start putting them in it so when I can't remember if I took them or not I can just look.

I hate to think that at 40 I have to do such a thing but I guess giving in to my stupid memory issues is better than either going without or taking to many!

Just another stepping stone in this process of MS

Don't worry...I've had one since I was 16.
It took many years of mis-dianosis to figure out I had MS, so there was treatment for several diseases/disorders I didn't have. I can't tell you how many pills a day I took!

The one I currently use is one of those weekly ones. I put a bit of masking tape on each compartment with the number of total pills I should have, so I have a quick way to figure out what I took for today. My Medic-Alert record is printed out and kept on the side of the fridge so I can see exactly what I have going on, meds wise. Also good for hubby in an emergency as he really has no clue what I'm taking.
