OMG, I HAVE THE SAME ONE, LOL, THE ONE WITH A LITTLE TIP, lol, The only problem i discovered with that is that the pills start tasting like the plastic or shall i say "rubber" that its made from, i am hoping that its like that cuz its still new.
lol ya exactly!!! Except that I go through Tums so fast (that is what is in my little keychain from Renagel) that it doesn't have a chance to taste like plastic/rubber
are tums used as a binder? i've heard people say that before, that they eat tums like crazy. I take Fosrenol and well, that taste like sweet chalk or chewing on a sweet n low rock, lol, nasty as it can be, blecch, i would prefer to take the renagels.
You know, my sister, my mother, my aunt, my brother, my friends, all healthy, all have the same problem, i think it is just called: aging, either that or its in the water,

Like for example. Your leaving to go to the store and your trying to remember your keys but just then, you remember that your wallet is in your other pants and you forget your keys. So forgetfulness is not solely caused by kidney disease but I'm not ruling out that kidney disease could make remembering things worse. Life threatening diseases give people so much more to think about then what normally healthy people think about. It's just something to take in consideration.
Do you guys know about Turbonote? it is a programme that puts sticky notes on your desktop. that is how I remember to take my Lipitor at night.. I also have it on my daughter's side of the computer, so that whoever is on remembers to tell me to take my medication before I go to bed.Do a Google search for Turbonote and choose one of the websites to download it from. There is a free version and a paying one, so make your choice. One more help for us with bad memories.
Sandmansa, of course everyone has memory loss, it would be abnormal if we didnt!! Bad memory and poor concentration are increased as a result of renal failure, so put that on top of any pre-existing memory loss and poor ability to concentrate.
