We have a system, built up over years, for keeping meds organised. Both of us havd to take meds three times a day. Do any of you have systems for this sort of thing?
-
Write down the daily meds and stick it on the wall, mostly in case someone who isn’t me has to do the meds. (And some days I’m not coping well enough to do the meds without the list anyway.)
-
Five the cat treats every time you do the meds. You might forget, but the cat won’t.
-
Hardware shops sell little plastic sets of drawers for different sizes of screws. They’re useful for keeping blister packs of pills in.
-
(K’s excellent idea) Ice-cube trays work well to dispense the meds into and keep the different medicines apart.
-
I have a box of cheap metal screw-top pillboxes. I fill some of them with meds, and write numbers on the top: odd for K, even for me. The numbers increase through the day.
- Keep the filled boxes in a special rucksack, so you can find it if you need to go to hospital in a hurry.
