Crazy what not having a couple of little pills (for over a month) can do...

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 10 Jun

Hello, myLot! Recently (like, last Wednesday) I discovered that I hadn't been taking one of my medications--I'm guessing for over a month, and there were two pills left in the bottle, which I took. That Friday I went to a...

Hello, all! I went to the Health Center, and yes, I had bronchitis, but it was in the bronchi or bronchioles, not in the lung sacs. He prescribed me four different medications, one of which I need to take two of as soon as...

Are there any products you have seen advertised that you wonder about?

Fleur @Fleura (35034) • United Kingdom 20 Feb

The post by @LooeyVille about tomato pills made me think of this. There are some products that I wonder about, in spite of all the regulations surrounding advertising etc. I remember in the US I was constantly hearing adverts...

I decided to quit taking some of my pills.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 13 Nov

Good evening, friends. I have had 3 problems lately with the meds I take. The first is that several of them are meds that I must pay in full. And they are very expensive. The second problem is that they are so many that I spend a...

It's a Marvel to Me

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 12 Oct

Yesterday I was filling my pill box for the week, and I was at the island in the kitchen, when I dropped a blood pressure pill. I immediately scanned the area, and definitely wanted to find it always fearing the cats might get...

I get tired of filling my pill boxes.

marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 21 Jul

It seems that as you get old, the med box empties at a quick pace. And the pills also disappear quickly and you are out of them in a jiffy. Every Sunday I must fill the box and it seems that in 2 days I take them all. The knee...

After I Googled throughly what it said about Prednisone, I decided that there was no point in not using if the doctor had prescribed it. I have to take it for 7 days, stop and then use it again if it hurt a lot. Dixie told me...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169477) • United States 7 Sep 24

Ever since the summer of 2022 when hubby had osteomyelitis and an abscessed muscle, he has been very cautious of any pain in that general area. After our trip in July he said it was "acting up". We went to walk in at the urology...

Good morning, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 16 Aug 24

It's 7:46 a.m., and I need to get breakfast. I had to start the laundry again, because I put in two "Earth breeze" sheets and I guess I should have only used one, because it left some sort of goop on my laundry. Later I'll be...

I was putting out my bedtime pills

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 11 Aug 24

I was, and I had grabbed my diphenhydramine bottle. Now, I had saved a lot of little bottles before I got this huge bottle. I'd grabbed it and when I went to put it in my other hand, it slipped. It was kind of rolling/sliding...

Well, I didn't put it off.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84785) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 Jul 24

I've recently had a bad habbit of putting off running the dish washer until I was almost out of dishes. Well, I didn't this time. Don't worry, it was full enough. But, I got it done. I also got three out of four tube feeds done,...

Hello again good morning, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (39034) • Petaluma, California 23 Jan 24

A bit later than I'd care to say good morning (9:35), but with these pills that I was told were going to make me drowsy, I guess it can't be helped. I hope I don't have to take them forever. I may go to the post...

Completely Out of Whack

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 6 Nov 23

Normally I take my first blood pressure pill of the day at around 9am. But for whatever reason, yesterday I completely forgot, and didn't realize it until 1pm. I took it then. The second pill I usually take after dinner around...

I fear pills

bonnie @bunnybon7 (50970) • Holiday, Florida 11 Mar 22

Sometimes when the doctor prescribes pills for me, I will have them on hand for several days before I get up the courage to try them. I have had so many really bad experiences with drugs prescribed me a few times. My last doctor,...
