Walgreens and Walmart have them below $10 Char if that will work for you. Oh and hint to someone you want a pill box and say what kind. Jim got his latest as a Christmas gift. lol

Um.... unless you forget what day it is. Then you think that you forgot the meds the day before and you forgot meds on the day you think it is. Been there.... done that.....

I have a keychain one that I can put a few pills in. Always resident are immodium (hey, you never know), tylenol, and then I will put a pill or two of whatever it is that I'm taking regularly. Helps if you go somewhere and forget your meds.

It means you need a pillbox with the days and times marked. LOL Maybe you need to do that along with writing down a cheat sheet, silly!

I will then forget to write it down, I know I will, silly! But, you are right, I will put a pad of paper beside it too.

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.
