I was never able to take pills when I was young.....it wasn't until I was much older that I was able to get them down my throat.

Who would figure that I would end up OD'ing on hands full of pills later on........think it's a mental thing now, but I am back to not being able to swallow pills again.

Know that when I was in the medical hospital 6 years ago being treated for anorexia, they did tests on my swallowing & it showed a narrowing in my throat......that was after my neck fusion surgery also.....& all the OD's were before the neck fusion also.....not sure if that surgery had an effect on narrowing my esophagus.....but it's very difficult to swallow even the smallest pill....forget about the large ones completely.

Doesn't bother me.....until I need to take a med for something. My pain medication is in the form of a patch....so don't need to swallow any pills for that......started on the patches at the time of the neck fusion surgery.....much better than pills any day.
