I also have multiple diagnoses, and take a large number of different medications every day. Over the years, I have developed an excellent working relationship with my pharmacist. He has all my prescriptions on file in the pharmacy (on computer), and once a week I go in and pick up a Webster Pack, in which my pharmacist has put all the medications I take in one week, labelling them 'morning' 'lunchtime' etc. and the dates on which I should take them. If my doctor(s) change my medication, then I notify my pharmacist and he changes his records accordingly.
The pharmacist also tells me, when I go in to pick up the Webster Pack, what medications I am running low on, so I can ask for new prescriptions when I see my doctor(s) next. This is not only a brilliant solution when travelling, but cuts out much of the stress and anxiety of counting out medications yourself. I am writing from Melbourne, Australia, so I do not know whether this service is available in your country, but there is no harm in asking! @ellu

@ellu My medical insurance provider is an all-in-one system, and they have a website that does something similar for me. But I only take a few medicines and they're the same every day, so I keep track of when to take them at home. It is nice that we go to our insurance provider,s own pharmacy. So our website tells us when to reorder if we want. When my father was so ill and taking many medicines at different times of the day, we would make a chart and fill it out ourselves to keep track.
But your pharmacist sounds like he goes above and beyond the call of duty! Lucky you! 🙂
