Vitamins "sigh"
Ok I have no trouble at all gettng my morning vits, morning meds, and noon b12 and iron in. But I am persistently forgetting afternoon vits and calcium about 20 percent of the time, or don't take till 9 pm or so. And the 3rd dose of calcium almost never gets taken. So I have downloaded a med reminder app to my android phone. I'll let you know how it works out.
Th app is Med Minder, and it is free in the Android market. If you want to check it out.

Thanks for the tip. This is my first post on OH!
Med Minder probably wouldn't work for me because I don't wake up at the same time every day. But I know another Android app that would work for people like me.
It's called One-Touch Timer. The way I use it is by setting up Timers. (Note: Timer is the name of the function I use for meds. You can also have stopwatch and alarm clock, but I only need 'timers'.) I set up the very first entry as going off after 1 second. Basically, I don't use it at all but I call it "Morning Pills and Multivitamin" which just reminds me to take those meds upon first waking up. After the first entry I set my next pills after 2:00 hours and then after 4:00 hours, etc. So basically instead of programming exact times, I enter in the hours since waking up.
Once I wake up in the morning I start all the timers.
I hope this helps someone!
