Where could you put it that you would see it but it wouldn't be sitting out?  Like, do you open a certain desk drawer every day at work?  Or do you open a certain kitchen cabinet every morning to get out a coffee cup?  Or get your keys out of your purse every day to drive to work (put the keys and the B12 in the same pocket of your purse)?  Or do you turn on your computer every day (put a note on your computer to remind you to take it)?

Thanks! The computer thing is actually not a bad idea. I can set them with my chapstick which I use religiously and having them on my desk is not as annoying as the kitchen counter. That's a good idea!

Like you, the one that I have trouble with is the third dose of calcium.  I now have a can of Upcal D at work AND at home (previously it was just at work), and I, too, bought some more Creamy Bites (even bought both lemon and chocolate so I could have a choice depending on my mood.  That has only been marginally useful, though.  Just last night I moved the Creamy Bites to on the stove so I would see hem as soon as I enter the kitchen.  Hopefully that will help (although my calcium came back fine on my last labs...)

Calcium almost always looks good on labs, though.  If you aren't getting enough calcium, it leaches out of your bones to keep the level in the blood good.  So as long as you have bones left, the calcium in your blood would look OK.  Unless you had some other sort of very serious medical problem going on.

Thanks Kelly. I wasn't sure.
