Swallowing pills is difficult for more people than you might think. I saw a survey that suggested 40% of people have trouble swallowing pills. Some become pill-chewers -- and for more than one reason, that's not the way to go. Confessions from a Closet Pill-Chewer I'm what might be called a closet pill-chewer. I've taken arthritis medications on a regular basis since I was 19 years old and diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I'm sure there were a few childhood incidences when I needed an antibiotic, but it was as a young adult and an arthritis patient that I realized that swallowing pills was a problem for me. I'm so subtle when I'm out to dinner with family or friends, as I discreetly slip my pills one at a time in my mouth and chew with no more action than that required of gum chewing. Let's set the record straight, I'm not quite as subtle as I think I am. There always seems to be someone in a loud voice, ready to blow my cover. You're not chewing your pills are you? Ewww! My Difficulty Swallowing Pills I didn't give this a lot of thought over the years. I resigned myself to taking my pills my way. I confess, it's a tad annoying when I see my spouse take his pills in a single gulp -- flaunting his ability to chug a handful without flinching. Flaunting is too dramatic -- but my point is, he can do it and I can't. Recently, I saw an article about how pet owners struggle to give medications to their beloved animals. The recommendation was to give their medications with peanut butter. With my very own dog -- an 18 year-old-dachshund named Haley -- I wrap her pills (which she takes for arthritis pain) in bits of an American cheese slice. Works every time. If all you have to do is more or less dupe a dog -- why am I still having trouble swallowing pills?
