Mom's pill organizer is HUGE. I think her current count is 39 pill per day. It fluctuates as they tweak her meds.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Yeah, I think my mom's pill count is somewhere up there. Eating out with her is always interesting, because she invariably gets looks from someone when she doles out eight or nine pills to take before she eats.
She's been doing it so long, though, she just keeps a regular pill bottle in her purse, with all the different pills for the day, and doles them out as needed.

For Jesse's grandma:
7-day/4x per day pill... suitcase: [link]
Or this - removable daily/4x day boxes, for tossing in her purse: [link]
For Zen:
Is the Jumo big enough? [link]
Of course, now I see containers that would work better for me than what I bought today. Eh. I'll live.
Good god. I'm googling pill boxes. Someone rescue me, stat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, thanks Jen. I think there's a combination of problems that mean what she has is what's going to work: she couldn't read the tiny letters on those things, and I think she has five dosage times a day. But that could be wrong. Maybe I'll order one of those for her anyway, just for the hell of it.

Oh, see now, five dosage times a day is evil and throws everything off. Well, and small print is not helpful either.

Really, for my poor grandmother the lack of good vision is the problem -- did I tell you people she was accidentally doubling up on one thing and not taking another for a while? Yikes.

Aye, aye, aye. That's scary. Don't do that Jesse's grandma!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks for googling pill boxes, JenP! I never even thought to. I think one of those will indeed work for me. I've been doing what AmyLiz's mom does, and just keeping them in a regular pill bottle.

I do wish I were there to help more.

I have the last pill box that Jen linked to. It works when I remember to fill it.
My nutritionist friend says that avoiding nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers) will help with inflamation.
