I don’t like being sick. Not so much because it’s uncomfortable - mostly because I can’t swallow pills. Way back when, I tried practicing on cod liver oil capsules, but they always ended up dissolving before I got them down and let’s just say that it was extremely unpleasant. If you need to practice swallowing pills, do not use cod liver oil! Then, I tried practicing with Glosettes, since they’re just a little more tasty than cod liver oil, but I could never get them down consistently.
I had a huge headache just now, which really hurt. I was sitting at the dining table clutching my head because it hurt so much. But I have a midterm tomorrow, so I can’t just helplessly lie in bed right now, unfortunately.
My brother gave me some Tylenol, but I kinda stared at the bottle, dubiously. I tried swallowing a capsule, but I pretty much fumbled with it until it started dissolving in my mouth, then I had to spit it out. Luckily, I have Google.
I searched for help and came across all common suggestions that just don’t work for me. Water doesn’t help me! I kept looking … then I found my answer. I chewed up two crackers, then just before I was ready to swallow, I popped the pill in my mouth. When I swallowed, I couldn’t even feel it! Yay!
My head still kinda hurts, but at least now I know that I can swallow pills if I really need to!
