Just a rant. I'm not good at swallowing pills. It's hard for me to direct the liquid & pill in my mouth, it gets stuck in pockets near my cheeks, and when I finally do get it to the back of my mouth it is hard for me to swallow and sometimes takes several tries. Nudexta and my other medication are in capsules so they are easier, but I HATE the riluzole. It melts quickly and the substance, for whatever reason, numbs anywhere on my mouth that it sits. So when I struggle to swallow it fast enough I end up with a numb tongue, sides of cheek, and roof of my mouth. I hate it!!!
I know it's not a big deal in the larger scheme of things, but it really annoys me and I just needed to have a little rant over it after a particularly bad attempt just now left my whole freaking mouth numb. Grr.
