when i was in icu for 10 weeks, i learned this trick:
put the whole load of pills in your mouth, no water needed. then swallow them.
i dont know how i do it, i dont know why i couldnt do it before, i dont know how to explain it.
but i definitly can swallow half a handfull of pills just like that.
i learned it because that whole routine with glass of water and one pill at a time just was a PITA, when you are in icu for a good reason.
Why would you do one pill at a time? Just put em all in and wash the pills down with a glass of water.
I can't swallow pills without water. They get stuck in the back of my throat.
Yep. I learned I can swallow about 20 pills in one gulp of water. Sorry for all you folks out there that say you can't swallow pills, it's a psychological issue.
Yeah I had it when I was a kid. For whatever reason my brain just wouldn't allow it to happen and my tongue would grab the pill before I could swallow it. It cause a lot of problems. I don't know what happened and I can't even remember when it happened but one day it was just gone and I've never had an issue swallowing pills since.
It is, but I ain't gonna argue with my brain.
it was a trick learned out of nescessity ;-)
yeah, I think it worked because they gave me lots of fluids anyway, I never had a dry mouth or sore throat.
