I used to have my computer calendar remind me to take my iron and my multi and my calcium, but it was too easy to ignore. Isn’t that terrible? I am such a 2-year old sometimes. “I don’t WANNA!” You’re right, though, Google Calendar (fun! free! fast!) would be a useful tool…but…isn’t there a program out there that will literally grab me by the ponytail and not let go until I swallow my stool softener? Seriously…

I use Google Calender to send me text messages during the day to remind me to take my pills. It is very helpful.

I have been flirting with that idea for about a week now. Sigh. I guess I’ll have to bite. Damn cell phones. What good are they, anyway? I just need to make a phone call. Ugh.

I don’t know if you use your cell phone a lot, but I went into calendar, and set reminders for every dosing throughout my day. It alerts me, and I have to manually hit “dismiss this” or keep seeing it until I take care of it. That helped a lot, too.

Oh my goodness! Oh my GOODNESS! First off, I did see that link, but thought it only pertained to the top one (my bad), but secondly — I am SO desperate for a timer and they have them HERE I used to have one that attached to the top of my Wellbutrin bottle, but it died and I was never able to find another one. In the early days of Wellbutrin (pre generic and timed release stuff), you had to take it 4X per day! Well, getting all of them in was a little dicey for me — until I got the little pill minder for the lid. So, now that I’m back to so many supplements — which, by the way, I know that I am taking incorrectly, I’m totally excited about finding a pill timer that will actually WORK. Yippee skippee!!!
