Help, how do I take my meds on time during day-long events?
I know it sounds weird. On normal days I have no trouble taking my meds on time for I have a routine and some alarms (but even with the alarms I forget sometimes).
There are days however where I partake in day-long events. Usually either comic-cons or walking/hiking events. During both I do not always hear my phone alarms go off (because of all the music and sounds) and I don't feel my watch vibrate due to all the moving and other stimulants.
Do any of you have a way to still notice and take your meds on time? I tried by telling a friend and have her look out for the alarms/time as well but she couldn't hear them either.
I have been thinking about taking an egg timer but those only go on for an hour and I'm afraid that I'll get used to the sound if I wind it up every hour..
@Beetlejuice91 I always set an alarm and get someone to prompt me. Hope that helps.

What if you tried making multiple alarms say 3 within a 15 minute period leading up to the time you are supposed to be taking your medication. So three alarms total, one every five minutes. You can set the alarms to vary in ringer types and add vibration to it as well so if you dont hear it, you will at least feel it.

as other folks have said, alarms are where it's at! i sometimes set a few just in case i somehow miss the first while i am out and about
