minus-squareaddictedtochaos@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·21 days agowhen 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.
minus-squareBirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·21 days agoWhy 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.
minus-squareaddictedtochaos@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·21 days agoit 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.
