Good morning...I am a 49 year old female, diagnosed with PD one year ago. I have never responded here before but have gained much support from reading your entries. The title of "Timer" caught my eye because I have come upon a great one. It is a watch that is programed via a computer to list all meds being taken, the dose and the hour to take them. This watch can be programmed, I believe, for about 10 doses in a 24 hour time frame (I only take meds 5x day). The alarm will sound every ten minutes for one hour following the initial reminder or until the patient pushes a button on the watch - by pushing the button a square is blackened in to confirm the dose has been taken and the time is recorded for review at a later date. This information is stored in the watch and can be downloaded to a computer for review of compliance. It has a few other wonderful features too lengthy to go into here. I can say that the one hour reminder alarm has been a great help to me. This watch is being distributed by Omron Healthcare, Inc. out of Vernon Hills, Illinois and lists for about $90.00.
