| I am down for the count.... ....with the flu....Have been in bed since New Years Day.....I am trying to do right and take all the medicine that everyone says I need to be on....Day-Quil during the day, Ny-Quil overnight, and I throw Mucines-DM in there too, along with breathing treatments and antibiotics to prevent pneumonia, which I get every year. My complaint is about the SIZE of these dam pills....They need to make them 2 freakin inches long, rather than just 1 inch long!!!! I have given dairy cattle pills smaller than these things!!! I think they are actually trying to kill us off....you kow, all us sick ones.....survival of the fittest thing....If I strangle to death trying to swallow one of these pills the size of a shot gun shell, PLEASE, everyone on here join in a class action lawsuit againstthe drug companies for deliberately making pills with intent to strangle. They can make micro chips the size of a grain of rice, that contains you entire medical history, all your medicines, all your doctors, and all your cntact info, stored on it.....but they have to make these pills the size of shotgun shells for us to swallow.........sorry,......... I am going back to bed....... |

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | I was wondering where you had been. I hate swallowing pills also. And agree why can't they make them smaller. Take care of yourself. And hope you feel better very soon How's the new pup doing?

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | I'm sorry your're not well Judy...was wondering where you had been. I have no idea why they need to make pills so got dang big... When I had my last boy..(c-section) they wanted me to drink prune juice...yuck...So since I wouldn't drink the stupid juice they decided they were going to give me an enema...the thing was the size of an otrich egg , I seriously had to ask where they were planning on putting that thing...'insert that where'???? Needless to say I drank the prune juice... I do hope you feel better soon...get some rest....

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Judy I hope you feel better soon. I know, it is even the meds you take everyday like vitamins and fish oil. Omg it is nuts. And if they say you can't swallow that you need to take two of these, they are smaller, but there is two almost the same size.

| Oh my Jusy I am so sorry you got this damn Flu. It is horrible. Did you not get any of the Tamiflu RX to take? This works really well. I remember back in 2009 I got the H1N1 Flu Virus and I even had the darn Flu Shot but still got the damn flu. I swear I picked up that flu at Wal Mart, with all the sick kids being dragged around with their moms shopping. LOL I swear I was going to die I felt so horrible. It lasted almost two weeks for me. Just keep drinking lot's of fluids and PLEASE stay in bed. Praying you feel better real soon.

| Oh no! Hoping you feel better real soon! Reports here in Maryland that the ERs are filling up with sick people... They send them home and tell them to drink plenty of fluids and take aspirin or Tylenol to control the aches and fever, oh, and to wash their hands alot.

| Pretty sure I got it yesterday as I hurt, am literally freezing in an 85 degree room as the central heat grinds constantly, with a heated throw over me and Tibbe lying on my icicle feet, nose dripping like a faucet and I think I feel something sliding down back of my throat, hurt all over and coughed up ickiness in the wee hours, headache, eyes hurt, back and hip are beyond pain - they don't throb, they explode. Owwwwwwww. And I had the flu shot in September! But it hit yesterday and decided to stay on I guess. I agree with you on those small cars they call capsules and softgels, these days! And then I have some other pills so very tiny I literally fumble them every time I try to pick one up, can't even feel it go down! But mostly with a lot of today's medicine, especially some OTC capsules, if you added wheels, you could drive them. I sure hope you start feeling better soon and maybe it will be a signal to me how this is gonna go and whether I should go online and hire a hitman to end my misery ASAP. AKA, I will be praying for you, Judy. Please get better soon. I miss you!
