Take my vitamins and calcium everyday

The pills upset my stomach if I haven’t eaten, and it seems like I hardly ever eat in the vicinity of my pills! I may need some under-the-tongue vitamins or liquid vitamins of some sort?

I got all of my prescriptions in, but missed my vitamin and calcium on Saturday. And Sunday (yesterday) but that’s the new week.

I re-filled my pill case tonight (it’s Sunday through Monday). My doctor added a twice a day prescription medicine this week, so now I’ve got three prescription pills (two in the morning and one in the afternoon), a multivitamin, and calcium. The only hitch was that on Sunday last week I didn’t take my non-prescription pills.

So, last week:
Prescription 18/18 (got prescribed on Monday, this will be 21 next week)
Non-prescription 12/14

Improving at this, for sure. I think having to go to my pill case for my second dose of the new prescription medicine makes me remember the vitamin/calcium. I also plugged in our little 1-gallon water cooler, so I don’t feel guilty about using a water bottle just to take a pill with cold water. Also a big help.

This week, upon reviewing my pill sorting case, I found that I took my prescription medication 6/7 days and my multivitamin and calcium 2/7 days.

Pitiful on the vitamins/calcium, huh? I’m normally good about the prescription, but I went to my mom’s house for about 24 hours and forgot to take it with me. I couldn’t take it when I got home because it’s an “empty stomach” medication and I wasn’t awake another 3 hours after eating when I got home.

I wish I could take them all at once, but the vitamin and calcium actually upset my stomach when I took it on an empty stomach one day, so I have to take one an hour before eating and another two with one of my meals.
