@lacy2 I have a small notebook that goes with me to each appt, to take notes, jot down vitals, etc. In the front of that is a pocket where I have a paper listing all my medications and supplements. Importantly, there is a date at the top showing "as of". If there is a change, I make it on there, and the date something was changed. I separate the OTC things and Rx drugs. On another paper is a list of major medical procedures, flu vaccines, shingles/pneumonia shots, for quick reference. And, I keep a list of all my husband's medications in my purse, in case there is an emergency.

Having a pharmacist you can trust is critical. A few years back, before I did mail order, my pharmacist was a dr from South Africa, and was a pharmacist here in the States. David was awesome, and alerted me to several potential issues with medications and OTC alike. I miss him.

Glad your visiting nurse saw the potential errors and health emergencies!
