This morning, and the last time, I suffered mild consequences in the morning. It's so important for me to always take my medications and to take them no earlier or later than between 5 pm and 9 pm.

Hi BirdDancer,
This has happened to me in the past, and I've used an annoying but useful application on my phone that doesn't let me forget when I've missed pills. It's called Medisafe. I mention it a lot and you know a lot so you've probably already tried it and it may or may not have worked for you. It reminds you multiple times until you go into the program and tell it that you have taken the medicine. It used audio to remind you. My wife tells me that it can be set to tell someone else when you haven't taken it. We haven't gotten to that point yet. Forgive me if I'm presuming that you would benefit from this. I'm just trying to help.
I wish only the best for you!
