Right now, I just have H & my daughter to help me. I am trying also to let H catch up on work & my daughter sleep since school starts soon for both of them. They HAVE been doing everything but using the bathroom for me these past few days!

They also told me not to refill my meds until they can help, and that is very, very complicated because I am more than a walking pharmacy at this point in my life! So many pills tend to look the same, especially small white round ones! I cannot focus enough to read the teeny, tiny, miniscule pill lettering, look it up online for EVERY single white round pill and more, and refill my meds. Let alone my vitamins. Because I have been taking fish oil regularly but still left those pills behind and AM taking magnesium because of my colonoscopy, so you get the drift and see where this is going. I have leftovers of stuff at this point in most days this week...but sometimes I have taken all the pills and sometimes I have not. Even my pillbox is a mess for the vitamins now (I put vitamins in a completely different pillbox than my other 3 pillboxes for the psych meds because they are not vital and also because I just do not have any room at all in my psych med boxes. Missing a couple of doses of gabapentin and Seroquel even throws me off because then I get even worse night sweats & hot flashes & nausea than perimenopause alone!

H & my daughter are trying to stay on top of my pills and the pill reminder app, but they cannot all the time.
