now try not to miss any more doses for a while. ;) You gotta keep to that 95% and missing a couple more doses will screw that up. ;D

Yeah I am going to put the pills out at night to take the next morning. I don't like to keep them out all day, but I will leave an empty baggy on my nightstand next to my water to remind me to fill it. If I forget to fill it at night I will see the baggy and remember to take the meds.

I also have the plastic daily pill thingy, but I prefer to put 7 of each med in an old bottle and refill it on Wednesday. I can always tell if I took a dose by how many are left until the next time I have to fill it.

I've tried several methods too and finally settled on simply having two of everything on me at any given time, plus an emergency pill for the important ones. Mostly I use the blue one for day to day, so it's easy to tell if I've taken it, and the white fob for emergencies. I feel like Imelda Marcos, the poor and addled version anyway. I have terrible taste in shoes.
A lot of failed experiments here, though, if anyone needs to borrow a pill solution. ;)

Ugh almost forgot them again today. Luckily I got them within the 4 hour window of when I normally take them. The system I have of leaving them in a baggy worked, but late when I just happened to notice it. I have to come up with a better system of putty a sticky note on my TV or something else. The container won't help if I don't remember to take them,

Maybe it's been covered, but do you have a watch or phone with an alarm or, even better, a reminder app? I used the default reminders app of iOS in the beginning. There are a million specialized apps for pill reminders now too.

I have a clock with a double alarm. I set that. I also do the same on the computer. Lately I've been waking up before the alarm and shutting them off. The computer one I leave on and I still forget to take my pills because I haven't associated them together, or I will make breakfast and then forget the meds.
