sigh.

If I don't get a rebound migraine this weekend, I'll be shocked. I've taken
Excedrin every day this week, for headaches, cramps, etc. And my wrist
hurts this morning (I jammed it falling, while trying to sit on a Balance
Ball last night) and I was going to take a Vioxx this morning for it, and
totally forgot. I need to get a little pill box so I can keep small amounts
of all my various "take on demand" drugs with me at work, so I don't need a
bottle of each at home and work. I just took some excedrin, but I'm toying
with going home at lunch to grab the Vioxx, if it continues to feel like
this. It is every so slightly swollen. And they've been so good for so
long!!!

I used to use a seven-day pill container, and just put a different med in each day. I wrote med name and dosage in Sharpie on the inside of each lid.

I'm thinking that...or these cute little purse-sized pillboxes that I saw at the mall last week. I will take any excuse to buy something leopard print. :-)

*grin* Altoids containers are perfect, too. I unfortunately lost my lovely pin-up-girl special edition Altoids container, but while I had it, the residual cinnamon powder made all of my meds more pleasant to take.

altoids containers are great for almost everything! i have one in my car to hold spare change, one to hold needles/pins in my sweing kit, and others designated to pocket various "wee things." i should seek out some of the *designer* tins to dinstinguish my stashes!

They're great for beading supplies, too.
