How do you remember your Vits??

ms que a great question....

right now remembering much of anything is hard for me...so my vitamins are sitting on the kitchen counter i know i am going in the kitchen every day so i have them there and grab them and take them...my b12 shot either kristi or sean will give that to me on sunday.... getting one every sunday......

i have to take them now no more slacking.... i am praying that i did not do too much damage to my memory or arm and leg.....

I keep mine in a 7 day pill box.  A second box holds my meds that I take am and pm.  I am keeping the journal Austin Davis suggested and at the bottom of the right hand side page I list all the vitamins, meds, protein, and fluid I need to take during the day.  As I take a dose I scratch it out.  At the end of the day if I need more fluid I drink it.  If I have forgotten some vitamin I take it.  So far since Galveston i have gotten all my vitamins, fluids, and protein in.  I also carry a small pill box in my purse so if I am away from home when something is due I have it with me.  This works for everything except the calcium citrate as it is a liquid that needs to be refrigerated once opened.  So far so good.

Thanks for all the great responses. 

A pill box in my purse does not work.  It comes open and vits go everywhere.  I like the old RX bottle idea, that may work for me.

The important thing is that we all get a routine that works for each of us.

NO SLACKING...

Well, I do mine totally different....

I have a ziploc bag on my desk at work...it has my BA multi's, BA Calcium, Vit D, Vit C, and my BA Iron.  ALL CHEWABLE.  I figured out I was a grazer at work... so now I just graze on vitamins all day... and about 2 p.m., I drink my Advocare Spark..and it's loaded in B-12.

I used to keep mine in a daily pill keeper on the counter but now missy Rachel gets on the counters - so they live in the top of the cupboard - I have 3 one morning (with meds plus vits) one midday or dinner and third one for bedtime or dinner
I just keep reminding myself that I used up to many brain cells between my teens and having kids to waste anymore -

the long skinny pill keepers don't work fo rme in bags but walgreens (used to see them other places too) have little round ones that screw onto each other so you have like a stacker of round pill containers - my mom uses those and tosses in her purse/lunch bag what ever and they stay together better

I am always worried with Rach about having things out of the original bottles esp since some of the meds I am on and Tim's synthoid not to mention IRON is not good for small girls

i need a pill keeper that goes on my phone - it is the only thing that ALWAYS goes with me
