Hi,
I used to have biiiig problems taking my medication because I had huge problems swallowing pills (mentally, nothing wrong with my actual swallowing!)
My biggest issue was with my pred tablets because the ones that don't have a "coating" taste vile as soon as they hit your mouth, so I came up with my own solution! I used to roll my tablets into bits of really really thin sliced ham or cheese and swallow it down with milk! :laugh: It would just "glide" down easier that way.
I have now moved on and am proud to say I can swallow all sorts of tablets "the natural way" now! lol
Anyway, there is still one med that I have a problem with, my calcium supplements, I have the "fizzy" dissolvable ones? I absolutely HATE them, and I can't stand the chewy ones either. So, any ideas what I could do to make taking the calcium easier? Are there calcium tablets which you can just swallow like "normal" tablets?
