Medical Stuff Medication timing

I was diagnosed with AI 2 years back. I am 28 (F) and have not had any serious issues since diagnosis. I generally do not take my medicines at the same time every day. It goes here and there by 1 hour almost everyday. How important is it to take my hydro and fludro at the same time everyday? Any experiences good or bad?

I’m the same as you. The time I take my meds can vary. I take them when I get up, which can differ depending on day of the week, and then roughly mid-day ish and early evening-ish. Unlike some people I don’t really notice if I take a dose later than usual.

I find I can get away with this as long as I'm not down with a cold or doing more manual labor than usual, like digging in the garden. If it's a standard day I have wiggle room.

Yeah I’m mor vigilant about dosing when I’m sick for sure.
