learn to swallow a pill

The application that’s wired onto my braces resulted in changing the way I chew and swallow. Two weeks into the process, I swallowed an Advil pill and discovered that I could easily swallow pills. Goal solved!

It’s worth doing for future medical emergencies, and for females when their monthly period rolls around.

I’ve learned to swallow the smallest of pills in applesauce. Mott’s applesauce is the best because of the watered down texture. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to swallow a pill with just water! I always seem to gag, choke, and spit.

little (maybe 6 or 7ish?) I got proficient at this by practicing with Tic-Tacs. lol. I still have problems with brobdingnagian ones, though. It feels like they just get stuck in my throat.

I hate ginger. in any form… but spitting it out in public… BAAD. right? So I’ve figured out how to swallow a piece of bitten-into-ginger the size of my thumb no problem.. but a pill the size of a coffee bean… has got me beat! unless it’s sugar coated…

Today I managed to swallow half of the pill after grimacing and chewing it…. sigh…

it took me almost 20 years to finally learn how to take medicine the right way.

A while ago, I got the WORST backpain I’ve ever had before, while lifting my poleclimbingequipment into a car. I asked my boyfriend for help, since he works in the ambulance and knows his stuff. So he give me two Ibux’es (muscle-relaxing), and tell me to “hang myself” in the trainingroom, and take those two pills.

And I did it! I glared at the pills for a while, then stuck one of them in my mouth and flushed (litterally) with water. It went down, and didn’t even come up again! I were SO proud of myself.

For the reccord, I took the other pill 4 hours later, when the firt pill stopped working.

well gota learn how to do this for advil! darn headache!

It’s worth knowing how to swallow pills dry just in case you’ve got a headache and no glass of water.

Usually it’s just a case of getting the gulp at just the right time.

It’s worth it because today most medicines and vitamins are all bigger pills. If you can’t, try swallowing small hard candy while taking a drink of water to help. Another way is to eat a cracker or something and before swallowing it put your pill in your mouth and swallow it with your food. It maybe weird at first but it helps in the long run!

I learned when I was 19 I think, right after doing a fast on my own for the first time (other time was with a church group)- maybe fasting somehow woke up the ability
