Forgetting med's/memory HELP!

How does everyone ensure that they are taking all their med's and herbs etc when they are suppose to. I have almost all my med's down stairs on the kitchen counter, got a pill box that I can put meds in for up to 4x's a day, have bedtime med's on my bathroom counter( those I remember to take, and have Probiotics on the bathroom counter as well to take when I wake during the night (and always wake in middle of night). Problem is I forget to sometimes take my AM med's or the extra supplements and afternoon Probiotics. My memory sucks and forget at least 1-2x a week to take them thinking I did! I am able to work but forget a lot of things and make mistakes there as well. I have tried using an alarm but often when it goes off I am doing something else and then still forget it. Day planners never worked for me in the past either. I forget to write down my daily symptoms even though my journal is by my bed.....Arrgggh!!!

I use a free android app called Life Reminders. It can send a text, email, call or use the app notification itself to remind you of what ever you set it for. It can also repeat hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. It's great for those multiple daily meds, especially the ones that need to be spaced apart a certain amount of hours. The reminder won't go away until you hit "sleep" or "done."

I go through periods where I forget to take my pills. I set alarms, but the trick is to stop what you're doing and take your pills. It sucks, but it has to be that way. I get all off kilter if I don't.

Thanks fellow Lymies. Sorry it took me so long to get back to this post....I kept forgetting!!! I do Ok for the most part but will forget 1-2x a week. Will try the techniques you all recommended. I do put my large pill box on the kitchen island and often that helps -but not always.
