Re: Special Bottle

[Guest guest]

Dr N had mentioned this study to me 6 months ago - before it was published.

The patients didn't know that the bottles had the micro-chips in their lids. I

think it was a good idea; he says that this type of study would never be allowed

in France because the patients would kick up a fuss about being spied upon!!

best wishes,

> Dear ,

> Thanks for your input on the " special bottle " . Sort of like an ankle

bracelet they put on prisoners to keep track of them. LOL I like that idea

very much and it will certainly be a reminder if we tend to forget. I posted

the article because I know we have members from the UK and it is only fair to

include rearch from the UK as well as the US.

feeding the parking meter. We know what happens if we don't feed the kitty,

there is a high price to pay. So if we are not taking our meds when we are

supposed to, it could be making a difference in our progress. In some cases, it

could be a cause for bouncing PCR's or a relapse. We are adults here and we

know what we are supposed to do. If we are forgetful, we need to find a way to

remind ourselves, like setting an alarm clock. when I was on BMS trial, I used

to set my alarm clock for 5:00 a.m., take my pills and go back to bed, so I

could have my breakfast with my family. To each his own, someone may have a

better idea they can share. One for all and all for one, remember when we

learned that in grammer school? I've always thought that was a good lesson we

learned and it has served us throughout our lives. In the case of the pill

taking, I think of putting myself first.
