Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 After a year off, I have just start back chelating dmsa every four hours. One reason I stopped was because I kept missing doses and having to start over. This time I did some research and bought a timer/alarm from http://www.invisibleclock.com/. I ordered it because it has 12 different alarms - but I never use them. I just set the timer to repeat every four hours. It is small enough to carry in my pocket - about the size of an mp3 player. I've only used it for about two weeks so I can't really comment on long term durability or reliability, but so far I am pleased with it. -- Terri G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have a wrist watch with a vibration mechanism that works for me. It's called a " VibraLite 3 " . If you do a google search for " vibralite " you'll see various sources. I ordered mine through Amazon. It has a countdown timer. You just set it for, say, three hours, and it automatically resets itself. > > I have an Invisible clock II but I don't trust it, it has not > vibrated/beeped a couple of times.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Use a cell phone that has a calendar function, preferably one that will turn itself on to ring the alarm when the phone is powered down. While it might not ring until you turn it off, you'd have to be literally dead to sleep through it, especially if you pick the most annoying alarm/ring possible to wake you. > > Can anyone recommend a 100pct reliable pocket alarm clock that keeps > ringing until i turn it off. > > My blackberry keeps letting me down and i keep missing doses and having > to end the rounds early. > > Sunshine > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ok, thanks. I have an " invisible clock " but its not reliable, and I frequently miss the 3 little beeps. The vibrating function also frequently lets me down too. I think 1 or 2 alarms it can handle….but I'm on dosages at 2.5 hours in the day and 3 hours at night and the 9 alarms settings I need just freaks these gadgets out. My old motarola phone was a rubbish phone but had a great calendar that never let me down. But it broke and got upgraded to a blackberry. My blackberry is a great phone and email system but again when I add 9 appointments in the calendar setting…..it freaks it out and frequently misses reminding me. Not the most reliable of gizmos. I have not heard of vibralite watches….that looks like the next thing I will investigate. Thanks vm. Sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Pyrex kitchen timer with magnet! I use it at home and away, it's small and works great. > > I have an Invisible clock II but I don't trust it, it has not > vibrated/beeped a couple of times.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 There is no law stating that you can't have a separate cell phone that you use just for chelation alarms! I actually bought an old model cell phone at a cheap price and the only thing I use it for is to wake me up when I chelate. I never even activated the phone. > > Ok, thanks.
