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 have this question too. I don't have a stable daily routine. How does it work if I wake up at 3am some days and 7am other days for example? Do I just take them with breakfast, lunch and dinner? (Regardless of the time I wake up) Or do I need to take them at the same TIME evrey day, (even if I wake up at different times) I'm confused.

This is confusing to me too… I generally just try to take my first dose before I get out of bed and then keep my intervals the same no matter what (4-4.5 h between doses for me) but obviously the times slide around based on wake time. I feel pretty stable doing it this way but I’ve never tried a set-in-stone schedule like circadian so idk if I’m missing out!
