I've always hated taking pills. For the longest time I simply couldn't swallow time. I've gotten over that hurdle now, but I still have a mental block in the that regard. I think this distaste for medication is one of the weird things passed down to me by my mother.
I'm all for doing whatever it takes to control major things like crippling acne or terrible periods - but everyday maladies I tend to wait out. Headaches, colds, whatever.
Now that hayfever season has come around again, I'm reluctantly admitting that I need the drugs. I need them every year and I'm almost certainly going to need to take them for the rest of my life.
Much as I hate relying on medication to get through daily life, I don't think I have much of a choice. Why go through misery and suffering when there's a fix for it?
