Swallowing Pills????

April 19, 2008

Ok so i'm 27 and for whatever stupid reason I can't swallow pills!

Does anyone have any tricks that they know of? I've tried a few different things and nothing seems to work. Sadly these are pills I have to take! Otherwise they are going to cut a big hole in my jaw. The pills are caples with powder inside. So when I keep trying to swallow them they slowly disolve and the really gross powder comes out. Ewww..... So I don't know what to do. If I don't figure it out by mOnday I'm going to have to go back to the doctor and ask for something else which with just move all my treatments back.

Oh if you're wondering about the "hole." I went to the dentist the othe day because my bottom front teeth were hurting. Well by the root of my front bottom four teeth is a cyst. They are hopeing it's not cancer. But that's the worst case. They thinks it's just from me putting off a root cannal, but if they don't get it to go away they will have to cut it out. SUCKS!!!

    Yeah I normally don't take anything unless I REALLY have to and I try to get it in a liquid. The sad thing is that I'm alergic to Pencillian and that's the only one in liquid form strong enough. So I just have to figure out how. So I just keep trying new ideas and hopefully one will work.

    I know two girls like that. They both found ways around it, one just doesn't take anything. And the other takes liquid meds. So there are ways around it. Thats alot of money, but things could be worse. I'm glad your gonna be ok.

    I found out yesterday that's it's not. Woo Hoo! Hoever I do need a root canal on almost all my teeth. :-( I lost insurance so I didn't go for years, so now I'm paying the price for it. In more ways then one. $10,000 later it will all be done!!

    I use to have the same problem with swallowing pills, so don't feel bad. I think I was a little older then you are now before I could finally do it! I use to put pills in either apple sauce or pudding in order to get them down. I will keep you in my taughts and prayers as to that cyst not being cancer. I wish only the best for you! Take care of yourself and your teeth! Hugs, Jen
