I had a problem remembering to take my meds before I had cancer:) I finally got a great pill dispenser on Ebay from Sharper image. I had tried the pill boxes with so many for each day but that did not help me remember. With this I fill up each dispenser for several days and set the time I am suppose to take them. Then it will beep to let me know it is time and dispenses me one. If I do miss one it even tells me so. I think it was about 30.00 but well worth it. I will admit right now I have let the battery run out which lasted a long time and have not replaced it even though it is a regular battery. Yep I am forgetting some. There is one on Ebay now you can see what it looks like and how it works. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=75041&item=5593319278&rd=\ 1&ssPageName=WDVW My friends husband has a condition where he gets in serious trouble if he forgets his which he was doing and she told me about this. Hil Forgetting? I'm almost embarrassed to be asking this because so many of you who write on this message board are so sick -- and so very, very strong -- but here goes. My Husband has stage 4 colon cancer and I'll be the first to admit that, in the grand scheme of things, probably not very serious, slow growing and had not traveled to any nearby organs. BUT he is " forgetting " to take his meds. Last Thursday was supposed to be the end of a two week cycle -- and he still had two more days worth of pills to take. And this is the second cycle in a row that he has run out of days before he has run out of meds. So....I'm wondering what's up with that? Any advice would be welcome -- and yes his internist is already reviewing a list of psychiatrists for referral. Thanks!
