Advice & Tips
I asked my family, back in the '80s, never to remind me of my medecines. They took a while to get used, but I insisted and even got kinda furious if they told me "don't forget your medecines". I explained them if anyone had to remember it was myself, and I should get used to do it by my own. So after a while I stopped earing that phrase and, at the same time, became used to rely exclusively on my memory to take the pills. It worked, I stopped having seizures when I was 21 (more or less). I'm a lucky person. One unexpected benefit I got but I don't know if it comes from the TG 400 CR: I regained my memory and even improved photographic and number memory.
