... Do y'all really have that much of a problem popping pills?

[–] yannic@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

When I got married and had a kid, I discovered "trouble swalling pills" is indeed a phenomenon.

I have been taking pills since I was five thanks to my temperature-based allergy. I just salivate when I see a pill. It's quite inconvenient when I am handling my child or spouse's medicine.

I mean yeah, I also had an aversion to swallowing pills when I hadn't done it before. But I got used to it pretty quickly, using this method specifically. I just assumed everybody did it like this

I couldn't swallow pills until after my SECOND child. Just stuck to liquids when available.

Yeah I’ve had daily meds since I was 6. I was confused when I first met people who couldn’t take pills

The only temperature-based allergy I know of is cold urticaria and I'm unaware of medication for it, but word love to know if that's not the case.

Yup, and it's just regular antihistamines. I took seldane for a while until they took that off the market, then it was on to reactine. It was a bit of a slap in the face when the reactine became non-prescription, and therefore somehow not medically necessary according to my insurance provider.
