Subject: Painkillers (having a rant!)
Does anyone else find it nigh on impossible to swallow the old fashioned round tablets? Everytime I get a prescription for painkillers I go and forget to ask for the capsules or caplets. And everytime I end up with the round ones! Can't swallow them. When I try I'm nearly sick! Then some oh so helpful person says "why don't you cut them in half?" Erm...let me think! Because it makes them darn sharp! Am trying to reduce discomfort, not add to it. Secondly, how in goodness am I, an arthritic, supposed to cut them in half without jolting my painful joints!?? Think it through please 'helpful person'! I do find it a bit off that we (the only country in the UK, by the way, that pays for prescriptions!)spend over 7 pounds on a few measly tablets and the doctors have the cheek to prescribe the cheepest possible kind - the round ones! AAAHHH! ...ok...calm down Poppy! In with the good...2..3..out with the bad...2..3... Right. That's better. I will leave you all in peace now! :)
