I finally have a a system that is working to take all my vitamins at least for this week so far (several days). I’ve been refining it for a long time and this is the best I’ve found….of course it could just be that it’s on my mind which is why it is working.<\/p>\n
First, everything is parceled out into labeled boxes. For me that is critical. Since I don’t have a memory I have a list of what to put in the boxes and what time of day. Then I have a task in my daily todo list to take them.<\/p>\n
Still it wasn’t working – what was holding me up with AM vitamins was that I couldn’t take many of them without food, so I would wait untill breakfast, but then I would forget until after (sometimes way after) lunch – when I was checking my todo list, and then there were some that I wasn’t sure I wanted to take late in the day.<\/p>\n
Now, I’ve separated out the ones in the morning that are best before food into their own box – any amino acids, herbs, and cod liver oil as I read that somewhere it should be taken first though I don’t know why. I take those first thing in the morning, and I try not to eat my main breakfast for 1\/2 hour afterwards, which is what I’ve read, though taking them with juice is OK).<\/p>\n
Then, I don’t allow myself any afternoon snack (ok, let’s be honest, it’s usually sweet) until I’ve taken my “morning” vitamins.<\/p>\n
I’m still working out how to rmember to take the PM pills.\u00a0 SometimesI can remember to take them, because I sleep so much better.\u00a0 Moving them to dinnertime has helped sometimes too.<\/p>\n
I tried adding extra B vitamins at night (which I already take in the “morning”) since they helped a friend sleep better and can’t handle them at night – I am agitated, anxious, and dream all night.<\/p>\n
Here’s an interesting article I’ve found, and I probably take 2\/3 of what is on it, though not all in those doses:<\/p>\n
