Madgran I say to anyone who can get an unwilling partner who is in denial about their memory function to visit a doctor well done you
and to try to contact those same doctors on the partners behalf and get a straight forward and timely response for advice, as opposed to being directed towards yet anther online form….well the absolute best of luck, honestly. Perhaps this is just my surgery.

1. Dont remind let him forget once 2. Show him he hasnt taken it and tell him you will remind because you dont want him to get seriously ill. (Maybe suggest you both help each other to remember pills?)
3. Does he need to discuss his memory issues with his GP?

Depends on his reaction to you telling him.If he’s getting angry then don’t do it.Maybe suggest he gets a tablet box with the days of the week printed on it?Mum has one and it helps her remember.

Well you carry on of course unless you want him to be really unwell and be more of a problem
If you have a cough as well can’t you pretend you’re both taking them and just get them out give him a cuppa and say it’s our tablet time
Seems line of least resistance to me

Briefly - husband does not have good recent memory and now unwell with chesty cough, as am I. He forgets to drink or take tablets so I’ve been reminding him but he doesn’t think I should. Says he hasn’t asked me to do it. He knows when to take them he says but clearly doesn’t. Do I stop and let him just get on with it? Or do I carry on and try to help him get better?
