One thing I don't like....

I hear you with all the pills...I spread them out during the day.  Here is my schedule:

Breakfast - 2 childrens chewable vit/w/iron before breakfast, 4 citracal petites (they are only 200 mg/pill, and because I'm now lactose intolerant, I have to get 2000 - 2400 mg/day in)

Lunch - 2 childrens chewable vit/w/iron before the meal, 4 citracal petites

Supper - 2 childrens chewable vit/w/iron before the meal, 4 citracal petites

Bedtime - my other prescriptions

Good luck to you - it is REALLY important that you get all your meds in, not just the prescription ones - the vitamins are equally important, if not more!
