Got pills?
I refilled my medications this week, and this is what I received. Although this is three months worth, it is somewhat daunting to see this in one photograph. I used to be "Ms. Vitamins Only", but now I take so many pills. One time when I was filling one of my weekly containers, Hubby thought that those were a day's worth; it was actually for a meal. Sometimes I feel that these things actually are making me sick!
I have containers that have my week's worth of meds. If I did not have these containers, I would forget to take my meds. The containers are color-coded, so I will not get confused: green for breakfast, blue for lunch, and purple for dinner. Each one has 3 phosphate binders, 2 fish oil. Breakfast has the added bonus of the blood-pressure pills. When gout comes, like this past week, I load up on colcichine and pain-relievers. Colcichine is known to give you diarrhea...fun!
I read that when I get a kidney transplant, the pill count grows... looking forward to that!
