I don't take that many meds a day, only four pills, over two occassions. But i do have real trouble remembering if i've taken them. It was suggested to me that i buy one of those plastic pill boxes from the chemists. I, however, baulked at the idea because I associate them (rightly lr wrongly) with old people and it was akin to suggesting that I get one of those nice toilet paper covers for the bathroom, for me. So I've been using this app on android, called MediSafe Meds & Pill Reminder. No : i do not work for them but yes I will endorse it as I think it's great. It reminds me to take my meds, gently notifies me until I do, gives a report on what doses I've missed and tells me when to get another prescription. For someone as forgetful as me, especially when i am not feeling well, it's been great. also I'm less likely to skip a dose here and there as i might do when not well. Below is a link to it on apple. It's available via google play too, just can't find a link for that. Oh, and yes it's free with no ads. itunes.apple.com/gb/app/medisafe-virtual-pillbox-family/id573916946?mt=8

I'm really forgetful as well, and I've bought one of those pill boxes :-) Honestly, I don't care if old people use them a lot, they're simple, cheap and they work.
But I'd imagine the app is really helpful as well, and it does seem like good idea.

I had this problem and I have medication for other medical conditions too. I got a pill box but I managed to find one that looks like a diary on the outside so I'm quite happy to carry it around and my friends think it looks pretty good.

That's cool, Helen! Where did you get that? (if you don't mind me asking!)

No, it's cool! I got if off Amazon. Am just tracking down the link. Okay, it is a little bit oldie-looking but I happen to like it! It does say it's stylish in the description www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CDXZ1EM
