Once again I messed the pill count and didn’t renew my prescription in time sol I’ll be riding this coming week dry… thanks stupid US medical system.

UPDATE: I had to pay out of pocket. $120 because my doc didn’t fill some random paper so I could get the meds, but insurance won’t cover it. It takes 6 months to get an appointment with my doc. I saw him last week and he said he would send a refill, he did t. My pharmacy the requested after I called to check. No go. I called the nurse and asked — automated voicemail. I’m done. I’m done I’m done.

    I use the Medisafe app on Android to keep track of my prescriptions. It will remind you to take it on whatever schedule you set. You can also set it to remind you to refill when you have X amount of pills remaining, with X being whatever amount you choose. It’s free, and you don’t have to sign up for anything either.

      Excellent tip! Why didn’t I think of that? The smartphone has been a game changer for me. I have meeting timers and alarms out the wazu.
