Members shared creative strategies for managing multiple medications despite fibro fog and forgetfulness, with the most common solutions being weekly pill dispensers organized by morning and evening doses, phone alarms set for specific times, and enlisting family members to help with reminders or weekly refills. Several members highlighted practical habits that work for them, including placing dispensers near the coffee pot or breakfast table, keeping a current medication list to cross-check while filling compartments, and having pharmacists pre-package weekly doses to reduce confusion. A recurring theme was the relief of finding a system that works, whether through visible placement, technology, or support from loved ones, and the shared understanding that forgetting is a frustrating but common part of living with fibromyalgia.

Setting alarms helps. If you have a phone that will do that you can remind yourself.

I made a list of my meds and times of meds. My husband helps me keep list current ( memory issues). Then we use a weekly plastic dispenser am / pm . For mid- day I use a once daily plastic dispenser; this gives me more room to add my supplements in the small space provided. Also because of quantity of meds and supplements I have them in plastic basket. When I fill med dispenser I go by med list and pull med bottle out of basket until I'm done ( all meds should be out of basket) then I put them back until new med change or following week).
