Two more arrows in the quiver

I've got nettle and bromelain now, too. Nettle is particularly nifty: it seems to work well with NSAIDs, giving a big multiplier to the drugs' effectiveness. Most excellent. Gimme.

My purse is bulging with all the things (pills, Blue Goo) I carry back and forth to work. Some things want to be 3x/day spaced out evenly, some want to be with meals, some I only need 1x/day.

MORNING: NSAID, nettle, bromelain, flaxseed oil, glucosamine/chondroitin, standard multivitamin: 16 pills.
LUNCH: nettle, bromelain, flaxseed oil: 8 pills.
MIDAFTERNOON: NSAID, 3 pills.
DINNER: nettle, bromelain, flaxseed oil: 8 pills.
NIGHT: NSAID, hormones: 4 pills.

Plus the Blue Goo 2-3x/day and the icing and the no sweets, of course.

This gets old.

Important Safety Tip: when taking sixteen pills right in a row, don't wash every one of 'em down with carbonated water. I feel like I just ate a rock. A big rock.

my record-keeping chart (which I'd created in excel)

I bet that chart was extremely valuable. It's surprising how much this LJ entry is already helping me, as a reference. I don't have to re-deduce the schedules every time I open a bottle.

I stole a plastic tray from a candy box and am putting piles in the little holes. Morning is a big pile, lunch and dinner are smaller ones, midafternoon is tiny, and I don't do a pile for night 'cause I'm back at home by then. (In some ways all this is made easier by me being at work seven days a week at the moment!)

Thanks for the virtual hugs! *hugsback*
