medical 

@ktemkin@chaos.social I'm not sure if this entirely qualifies, but I need to take so many pills now (and I'm so impatient 🙃​) that I try to swallow them all at once, and doing so 'with deliberation' has turned out to be difficult.

What has worked *for me* is to kind of tilt my head back, put the pills in my mouth, and then kind of "throw in" the water and swallow at the same time, so the whole thing comes in at some velocity. It required some practice, but it made swallowing much easier for me.

I don't know if this transfers to "having swallowing issues in general", but I figured I'd mention it in case it does, as I've never heard of this approach being used by anyone else...

(I do have enough control over swallowing that I don't risk blocking my air canal; if that is not the case for you, though, this may not be a safe approach)
