Amy, an inspiring TBI survivor, shares her Medisafe story:<\/strong>
\nIn 1997 I suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) when I fell out of a third story window. \u00a0Smartphones weren’t even a thought at that time so in order to compensate for my now diminished short term memory due to the brain damage I sustained, my life was now controlled by post it notes. \u00a0I had post-it notes to remind me to do everything from turn off the stove to take my medication.
\nIn 2003 I gave birth to twin boys and in 2006 to another boy who was disabled. \u00a0As if my short term memory problems weren’t bad enough from my TBI, I now added three kids to the mix, one being special needs. \u00a0Now I would forget to write the post-it notes that reminded me what not to forget to do. \u00a0I take three kinds of medication because of my TBI, one of the medications I need to take twice a day. \u00a0I wasn’t just forgetting to take them but a lot of times, I couldn’t remember if I had already taken them that day. \u00a0So I either risked taking too much by taking them again or not taking them at all because I thought I had already taken my meds for that day.
\nWhen iPhones were invented my life seemed to get easier as new apps were invented that helped me manage our family calendar but I was still struggling with remembering to take my medication. \u00a0This year I stumbled upon Medsafe and it has helped me immensely. \u00a0I have put the medications I need to take in my Medisafe pillbox along with the times I need to take them and now two times a day Dr. Evil, from the Austin Powers movies, tells me to take my medication. Not only is it a great tool but being able to choose a funny character to alert me when it is time to take my medication brings a smile to my face. \u00a0I have recommended it to so many other TBI survivors including many of veterans who are returning from war with traumatic brain injuries.
