My daughter, who has bipolar, plus restless leg and chronic pain, takes 
mucho pills, and for the last year had to take extra meds leading up to her 
spinal fusion and beyond (now being weaned off) - has a big pill box with 
not only the days of the week, but three divisions per day.

Of course she still forgets - and her erratic sleep means she's not always 
awake at some pill times...

And then there's my friend who is in his 15th year of being HIV+, and has 
gazillions of pills, some to take on empty stomach, some only with food, 
etc.  And because the pill regime eventually becomes ineffective, he 
periodically has to start with a whole new set of pills and pill-taking 
routine...

Whew.  I'm happy to settle for a calcium and a vitamin....and even then I 
often come to the supper table to find the breakfast pills still sitting...
