(Sorry for any duplication. The website wouldn’t let me edit my post. I added some at the end.
I take most of my pills (including MG meds) and supplements in the morning, before my iced coffee and banana. I take Fosamax first thing Sunday mornings and about an hour before food and an hour after ‘pyri’ (which I take at 6 a.m.).
I have Alexa set up to remind me, every six hours, to take pyridostigmine. I also always have Alexa send her/his messages to my fitness watch and phone in case I’m not home (which means I always bring ‘pyri’ with me if I know I won’t be home for a dose). It’s a bit of overkill most days, but occasionally it pays off even if I’m home, because I might be outside or in a noisy situation and won’t hear Alexa’s reminder.
By the way, always keep a small desiccant pack with any mestinon/pyridostigmine you take out of the bottle when you go out. Humidity in the air will fairly quickly start to degrade the pill(s) and they will become increasingly less effective over time. I always store some leftover ones, from my mestinon emptied bottles, in a tightly sealed container (sandwich baggies are good, for example, or a very small jar, etc.) you can even find info on the web about how to re-dry the used ones if you want to be obsessive (in a good way) about it.
