I keep a list of all my meds and supplements in word. Before leaving the house, I print it out and head off to my doctor appointment. When the nurse begins reading my current list of meds and supplements, I hand them my list, they go thru it, check it off to what is in their system. Done. In many cases, I pronounce the names of my meds wrong. So, I found it easier to just give them the list. My wife carries a list of her meds and mine with her, never know when you need to go to the ER. When an emergency takes place, it is often difficult to remember all meds and supplements. Our list has the name of the med, supplements, dosage, when it is taken. So, no....you are not alone.

I have a medication list on my computer, divided into prescription, over the counter, supplements etc. I also have my surgery history on there. I just hand it to the nurse. Most of the time they’re happy to have it, and we don’t have to go through the recitation together.
