Why pills?

It's strange that people complain about taking pills. I have never had issue swallowing them. I can even take a bunch at a time with no water (but a doctor saw me do that once and told me to always chase it with water, so now I do). They just go right down, no issues. I guess it just depends on the person.

Me too, I can swallow a whole handful of pills..no problem.

My problem is that most pills come out looking just like they went in. My body doesn't seem to be skilled at breaking them down and absorbing them. So, I try to find capsules if they're available.

But, my inability to absorb pills may be due to my digestive tract being an express lane. They say it takes 48 hours for food to pass...not me...8 hours is typical. 12 on the outside.

Must be nice to never get actual headaches. I've had them from time to time where I've been lucky enough to have some leftover HC to get rid of them. Water and laying down doesn't make them go away.

I don't believe I ever said I never had a head ache. I love how people want to read between the lines.In Fact I had one for over 3 years.
Finally got so bad I went to the doctor. I had a sinus disease and they had to operate to take care of it. Took almost a year for it to clear up after the operation.
We take pills for everything. Just watch TV. Every other commercial is for some drug. Then the next commercial will be....don't use drugs.....

If you had taken the right pill at the right time you probably could have avoided a 3 year headache and unnecessary surgery. Seems like a good trade to me.
I love pills. Better living through chemistry.

I guess I should have put a sarcasm smilie on that statement, but I couldn't find one. But "irregardless", there was no reason for you to get personal about it. This isn't the SZ.
(Now, I dare you to say something else irrelevant, like the fact that "irregardless" is not a word).:nono:
