Try to approach it in the most loving way possible - one that can't be taken as a criticism in any way. How about "honey, I love you and I'm very concerned about your health. I know that thyroid disease can make you forgetful, and I'd like to help you get well. I bought you this pill case to help you with remembering. I'd also like to go with you on your next appointment to find out from the doctor what else I might do to help you. "
I know that I was trying so hard to keep it together, and what I heard from H SOUNDED like criticism - "you're screwed up, when was the last time you saw your doctor?" - his frustration was palpable and it didn't feel loving. I have often wondered how different things might have been if he had approached me lovingly and said "gee honey, you know I love you madly. I really want to help and support you all I can. I'd like to go with you to your next appointment to learn more about this."
Finding the dose is easy - just look at her bottle!!! Or tell me what color the pills are - I can figure it out from that, they're colorcoded by dosage.
An excellent book is The Thyroid Solution by Ridha Arem. Although he places a little too much emphasis on T3 supplementation (only a small minority of people need this) he does a great job of explaining all the symptoms people feel. Maybe if you read it, she will see you as taking an interest, and maybe she'll read some of it as well?
