Hi Lisa, I'd start by telling you my age but I am sure 45 seems like 100 to you. I use a digital watch that goes off twice a day to remind me to take my pills. It really helps. You just have to remember to take them right when it goes off otherwise you will still forget. At least I do. Good luck with everything and welcome to the site!!

Welcome aboard! Hope you find the site helpful and can browse around. Here is a link to info on managing meds and tips for missed meds. If you don't have one, get a pillbox - it is a great way to check if you have missed a dose.. just remember to look in it before bedtime and right when you get up to double check!

Well I"m pretty much new here too. It hasn't been 12 hours yet. I figured this would be a good site to come and talk with people who have the same condition as me and know about living with it. I also joined because I've had it for 30 years now and figured I might be able to help some who would like to know somethings about it while learning a few new things from others myself. hope to talk with you soon.
