I never thought of that.

Does fish oil stay good out of the fridge?

?? It is not refrigerated at the store.

 

[abifae]

Okay. It says "refrigerate after opening".

I'll move it all to my desk!!! I bet that helps more.

I have to remember to take meds Abi or I get vertigo. It is real icky, so that prompts me to have methods of reminding myself to take my medication. I do keep them at the computer since I tend to sit here a lot and keep a drink of water handy too.

It helps to have a specific time of day that you are supposed to take them that you keep to a regular habit. I try to take my morning medications with my first cup of morning decaf, which is something I don't have to remind myself to do. So mix the med-taking with something pleasureable and pretty soon you have a good habit.

I'm sorry the special evening was spoiled for you.

SD - I've tried every trick there is to remember. I'm terrible LOL! When I was younger and had to take pills, my dad had to call me when it was due and stay on the phone with me til I took it, or be home and physically watch me take them.



I will have a pill in my hand, set it down to get water, drink the water and leave without taking the pill. Or have it still in my hand because I thought setting it down would make me forget and wander off with it in hand, after drinking the water. There's really some disconnect there hahaha.

Sounds like you don't WANT to take that medication.

Why don't you try associating it with something GOOD each time? Some sort of treat.

 

[abifae]

I don't not want to. It is just coq10, fish oil and d. And I feel better taking it. I dont know what it is lol!

Honestly i have trouble with anything daily if anything interrupts me. I can take a pill at 6 am with milk. But at 601 or i run out of milk then i am doomed lol. So maybe i need to tie it to something unchangeable, like feeding the cats. They dont let me forget.

I agree with the treats idea as well make up a scrumptious batch of what ever truffle treat you especially like and only allow your self to eat one - right after you swallow your medicine. It worked for Pavlov's dogs maybe it will work for Abi.

 

[savingdogs]

Gosh, I'm so sorry, I realize I gave you a "dog" suggestion.....I don't mean to do that, I just am all about positive reinforcement. And for myself, I have associated a morning goodie with my pills and that is how I remember them.
