Just read a post about taking pills excetra. Listen this really works as some of those pills we take are HUGE! (where is the horse, this couldn't be designed for a human?)

Get yourself a jar of applesauce, yes applesauce. Keep it in the fridge. When you need to take your pill, get a big teaspoon of applesauce and put the pill in it...it will go right down!!! Sometimes I have used a tablespoon or taken the pill with sauce and added another spoonful right after. Best tip I ever had when I had cancer and I still use it.
