tweet from hoarse whisperer this morning--on the lighter side

When you have ADHD, you get to play fun games like ‘Don’t Forget to Take Your Medication?’ And ‘Wait, Did I Already Take My Medication?’

(you don't need ADHD to play this game because i've played it before!)

1. I play that game daily...

been diagnosed with all kinds of things, but not ADHD

2. Need those weekly pill thingies

3. Any year now, I'll be hiding my own Easter eggs.

4. This is funny, but can be serious

For anyone who starts taking a critical med that is also critical to NOT take a double dose - come up with a system that works, and follow it, Every.Single.Time.No.Matter.What.

(also has the benefit that ADHD becomes irrelevant to this part of your life )

5. So.....

I have a system.
I don't know if I suffer from ADHD, but I very often forget if I've taken my meds or not.

Every evening before I retire, I put one of my bottles of medicine on a shelf over the kitchen counter. I put that bottle in the drawer in the morning after I've taken my meds.

OK, my friend called to go for a walk and I shut my computer - this was more than two hours ago.
Opened my computer just now to find this. I won't go through the intricate machinations to figure out whether I did or did not take the damn pills. Even those fail me because this morning I found twice as much of one med than should have been in "the place" either I forgot to take them or I forgot that I had put them in the "spot" and put another dose in.

Go figure
