That fingernail chewing 😬

    This is why I make sure to take each pill one at a time instead of using a pill organizer, sadly spending the first five minutes of every day popping the bottles open one at a time.

    There is a very real chance I’d OD if I didn’t use my pill organizer, haha. For whatever reason my brain absolutely can’t retain a timestamp on when I last took my meds.

    I've got a timer on my pills so that I can see the last time I took them for this exact reason.

    Too many times of accidentally taking them twice or skipping them entirely so now I've got a timer.

    Don't worry, that pill bottle problem will be solved if Canada joins the EU. You'll get wonderful blister packs instead.

    I hate blister packs so damn much

    Why though? Do you enjoy accidentally spilling all of your pills? It's really easy to pop them out and put into a bottle if you'd want it like that. It feels good to not risk the stressed overworked pharmacy tech putting something wrong into my bottle.

    Blisters make my hands hurt, you try popping a few dozen every week for your pill planner.

    Hmm, what kinds of blisters you have where it requires much force...? Screwing a bottle, especially the child-safe ones the US has, requires a lot more force?

    It's usually foil holding in the tablets, a tip I usually use is slightly slicing it with my fingernail and then the tablet just falls out. The only blisters that I've seen that's somewhat difficult would be Mirtazapine orally dissolving tablets, where there's a paper layer on the foil.

  • Blisters use paper backing here, and prescription bottles actually use a thumb release and twist now that requires far less strength than the standard child safes where you press down and twist. Then if you don't have to worry about kids you just flip the lid over and screw it into the bottle

    Okay let’s see if anyone can identify all these. I think that large pink one is an atripla maybe?

    I hope some of them are to help regrow fingernails, because that thumb is nasty!

    Not enough talk about his thumb here, IMO.

    I used to bite mine when I was a kid. In my early teens I decided it was enough, and so everytime I had the urge to bite, I just went and got some clippers and cut them instead. It fixed me forever. No urge to bite. My bite was related to the annoying feeling of having long nails. But I also told myself I'm not allowed to clip them past the white part into the pink. So that also helped regrow them perfectly.

    Highly recommend to try this method. Very simple and won't cost you anything but some clippers.

    I wonder if it tastes like snozzberries when he bites his fingernails

    Has to be a gellcap in there to glue them together like that, maybe fish oil.

    Alternatively, a VERY happy everlasting gobstopper. (I don't know what kind of pills those are.)
