Hi guys, its been a while. For the most part I have been doing well. My mom went into the hospital recently for a heart attack so Ive been a bit anxious over it. I have also been setting a daily alarm to take my medicine (I'm on cymbalta 30 mg) and sometimes I forget to take it…not intentionally it just skips my mind or sometimes i fall asleep without it. I notice it the next day because i get a headache and my body aches a little bit. It sucks but, hence the alarm. Just thought I'd update you guys.
Thanks,
-Kelly

Hi Kelbear and welcome back...

...although I am so sorry to hear about your mom's health struggle currently.:( I do wish her a full and complete recovery...which now days is an absolute reality!! So let's say prayers and think positively.

Great job on setting your alarm for remembering to take your meds...this is a good idea! Another one is to put your pill(s)/vitamins in a weekly pill box...one with a compartment for everyday of the week...and simply to check it at night before you go to bed (make it part of your bedtime routine along with brushing your teeth) This way, if it is not empty....you'll know to take your meds before bed.

I hope that you'll continue to post and allow us to support you during your mom's recovery. I am sure she will do very well...but I know how you must be feeing now. We never want such an event for our loved ones.

Again...sending prayers and good thoughts!

S.C.
