How did you remember to take all your meds for cancer?

If you have any routine in your life at all, taking pills isn't that hard. But then, I've been taking pills for a while now *shrugs*

When on medication, having a steady routine is best.
I'd be horrible with meds. :}

I just take my medicine right before I go to sleep. That way I won't forget. And I keep them all in a little weekly thingy. I take a lot of medicine. lol.
Maybe you could ask him for help remembering? And then slowly wean yourself off of your dependence on him?
Or you could set an alarm for them. Lots of people do that.

I used to have to set alarms. The worst ones are the ones you have to take more than once a day, I almost always forget the morning dose x.x

I'm just glad that all of mine are one a days. I hate taking pills multiple times a day.

cellphones make it easy to set up multiple alarms throughout the day for pills. If you have one, that is.

That's true. Thank goodness for technology.
But I don't like taking medicine in front of people. And I forget to take it with me to places.

Oh god, I wish my parents had been better about teaching me that medicine was okay and nothing to be ashamed of. I hid my inhaler from all my friends growing up. I was out at a friend's birthday party during a bad, windy day once and was so ashamed to take my inhaler or ask for help that I wound up in the ER x.x
