Appreciate the well wishes and apologize for going off on you yesterday - after a 3 day struggle between CVS and my doc, which involved trips or long wait time phone calls to talk to a pharmacist I was pretty PO'd about the whole ordeal. Last night when I put that 1st 1 g cap into my mouth with a swig of water my brain instantly remembered choking on the last one I took 5 yrs ago and my throat/stomach tightened up in fear - I sat down, took a big breath, and got the two caps down one at a time. That fear of god from almost choking to death alone in my house left a big mental scar - having multiple health problems and living alone scares my various PTs and they share their fear with me - I don't NEED anyone else pointing out I could be in big trouble if I got hurt and couldn't get to a phone - I know what the risks are and there's nothing I can do about it unless your beautiful 38 yr old sister wants to move in with me . They all want me to buy one of the "I've fallen and I can't get up" transmitters and wear it around my neck, but they're an expensive service and I can't stand having any type of jewelry on my body - a fob hanging on a chain from my neck is a non-starter, I couldn't tolerate it, would drive me insane.

Anyway, this morning I was paying close attention to what was on the radio when I was taking my morning meds instead of what thinking about was going into my mouth, tossed both 1 g caps in at the same time and they went down no problem because I wasn't thinking about what I was swallowing - doesn't hurt that I haven't had a gagging incident in years. The 1 g V caps were not the only pills I take that caused gagging problems in the past, but I was eventually able to replace almost all of them with smaller pills from a different company except for one vital amino acid DS I take twice a day. Back in my gagging/choking days I needed the Heimlich maneuver twice in one year while playing golf when one of those big hard pills got stuck sideways in my throat, scared the crap out of my playing partners (and me of course).
