How I deal with medications

By now, most of my readers would know that I am a very organized person and everything has its place. In my cupboards, on my counters, and in my cabinets and this is exactly how I deal with my medication.

Everything has its place. Vitamins are placed in their little corner. Prescription medications are placed in their own little spot, and so on. I label things in Braille and I use size of boxes, bottles, and tubes to help me deal with my medication.

My sense of smell is also brought into the picture and luckily for me, I have not had the misfortune of mixing up my medication. The best strategy for me is to label and put it in spots that I can easily access.

I am really careful when it comes to my medication so this is why I take all of these precautions, and when you are unable to read labels on boxes and bottles, then more care needs to be taken.
