A mini rant alert!
😡 A rare one from me but, only a half annoyed emoji rather than a full out hopping mad red faced emoji!
😉
Just taken my midday tresiba & pills & this time half gagged the uncoated pills, had to swallow blindly ie. not properly focusing on swallowing, got them down me BUT, only half way down my gullet somewhere & I can still feel them in my oesophagus & needs lots of water to swallow them down properly! I HATE IT when that happens!
I have a damaged swallowing reflex since my first bout of Bells Palsy in 2001 & I need to concentrate & focus when eating & drinking to consciously swallow! Even then, I have difficulty swallowing pills & long noddles/spaghetti & cut them up at home or not eat that when out & about! Also, I don’t like talking or have people talk to me when eating which my family & friends know about! Sometimes pills are coated & I don’t taste them but, sometimes they’re uncoated & the taste makes me gag! With the free prescriptions these last how many years, I forget how long now, it’s very unpredictable as to what pills I get as it’s all generic!
🙄
I got the pills swallowed properly with loads of water but, I think they cause some bruising as I feel a bit tender there now & will be for a bit every time this had happened! But, even worse is not swallowing them at all & throwing them up with my very strong gag reflex, my body compensating for the swallowing reflex, before I swallow & a whole day’s pills are gone which has happened to me twice before!

Have to take another lot &, although it’s not VITALLY important, they go out of sync & I start new packets of pills a day later! And I remember once posting about gagging a tiny allergy pill up my nose! It came down eventually & nearly choked me when it did as I wasn’t expecting it!
