as i suppose some of you, i have some meds to take every morning, currently my antihistaminics and my iron pills.

these last two days i have simply forgotten to take them, until i realised that this morning, like i was wondering "there is something i need to take in that drawer... ah, yes ! my meds !" and it hit me that the last two days i have simply forgotten that step.
i'm really not a morning person, and people are advised to let me have my breakfast and shower before saying anything but hi.

i don't know why i'm doing this, but every year, you can bet i'll forget to take my antihistaminics during a few days. is it because i'm starting to feel better ? and i think i can do without them ? that's ridiculous, and i know i have to take them and i usually follow religiously my prescriptions. i know taking a double or triple dose to compensate is a bad idea, so i never do that.

i wonder if it's because i take my meds together, before breakfast. in the morning the first thing i do is taking my breakfast so i guess in the process of landing my ship on planet Earth i forget to take my two little pills.

Hm..I haven't experienced that because I don't need to take anything daily. And because my schedule usually permits me to sleep in until at least 10, and by then I am fully awake.

Perhaps you don't need them anymore, which is good news for you! Perhaps you can call your doctor and ask about it.

i don't know. i could try to take a break but i'm afraid the symptoms would come back and i don't want another conjunctivitis.

Yeah, you definitely shouldn't stop on your own. Maybe since you only skipped one day, it wasn't that big of a deal.

It's funny you say that because I am currently taking iron pills as well and I forget to take them. It's not because I feel better, I just forget. Doh!!!

omg I always forget my eye drops! I need them to help correct my vision, but I have to drink coffee with them since they have an unattractive taste. I always remember after I've finished my cup!

so yes, I totally hear you!

i think i should ask my parents to put my iron pills on the kitchen table as they wake up before me. that way i wouldn't forget them . but i suppose it's okay to accidentally skip it for a day or two. i don't know about you, but i've become a little paranoid about my iron levels, so i load myself with vitamin C, i have a chocolate instead of a tea during breakfast, so i tend to think it's not dramatic when i make sure my body can absorb most of the iron i'm taking.
