Youare never more than an hour fromthe last pill, so you are more likely to remember having taken it. Also have a strict rule that you won't take anything before the hour - even by 30 seconds. Helps with that "Did I? Or did I think I did?" If your digital watch is just rolling over, then you know yu did not.



QUOTE=TonyaV;801307]Memory problems;

My biggest problem with this issue is looking at the clock(after that internal feeling is telling me the symptoms are coming back and FAST) and realizing I should have taken either my Sinemet or Requip a half hour ago or whenever I missed the dose. I need to stay on a very strict schedule with my meds to keep from "crashing" or falling back into a 2 to 3 hour set back.
I need an alarm to remind me of every single dose. Don't own an iPhone. Not in my budget right now. Hubby tried setting several alarms on my cell phone, but it would only allow 4 alarms in one day.

Anybody know of a reasonably priced watch that will let me set an alarm for every 2 hours or roughly 7 different alarm times each day(and not too loud)?

Otherwise, for memory problems, I have a book organizer/calendar I keep in my kitchen with a pencil attached to jot down reminders and appointments. Also, keep a small organizer in my purse.

What else can cause memory problems if it is not PD, besides lack of good sleep?
