Just something I'd like to share that I thought was weird..

Normally my entire life I have hated taking pills. My mom growing up always got kinda mad at me and just thought it was a mental thing that I couldnt take pills. Maybe it was but I have a bad gag reflex.

Soon after finding out about the Lyme and getting put on abx I noticed (and it wasnt just the practice) that I didnt really have any gag reflex at all. For months I could take a hand full of pills all at once, so I thought my little pill problems were over.

NOW, I'm off abx and under 2 anti-fungal treatments and I'm back to square one..

I almost choked on an Advil!

And every other pill regardless of size I can feel going down and I almost gag.


Just a weird thing I noticed and wanted to share..

You know, I was thinking about this the other day. I couldnt swallow pills when I was younger, not until I was well into my 20's. It was an issue of control of the throat muscles. My parents never thought it was a bit deal and just crushed the medicine up.

But I know people whose parents would make them do it over and over again forcing them to choke. As if this was some kind of huge thing.
