Today, like every day since my wife was prescribed antibiotics for an infection, I had to hide one of the pills inside her food, because she'd apparently rather fall seriously ill than swallow them like an adult. FML

Today, just like everyday, I opened my med box, took out a blister pack and took one of the pills before putting the pack back in the box. Today, not like everyday, I had diarrhea. Turns out one of the packs was laxatives put in my med box by my boyfriend because they looked the same as my meds. FML
Today, my daughter wanted to show me the tooth she had just lost. As I was in a rush to leave for work, I quickly picked up and swallowed my pill that was on the kitchen table. It was only until I looked back down at the table did I see not only my pill, but one extremely angry daughter glaring at me. FML
Today, my girlfriend came back from visiting her family. She'd forgotten to take her pills, and decided to "catch up" by taking almost a week's worth of birth control and prescription pills. She's fine, but I had to convince the ER staff that she's not suicidal, just stupid. FML
Today, I puked up an anti-nausea pill. FML
Today, my wife called me at work, crying, because she shat her pants. I'd feel more sympathy if she ever ate fruit, or vegetables, or anything other than sugar and carbs, or took the prescription fiber supplements her doctor prescribed. FML
Today, my daughter has an ear infection and hasn’t slept more than 15 minutes a night for the last three days. Well tonight she was finally asleep, but I needed to take my own tablets. I had a violent coughing fit while choking on them, and woke her up. FML
Today, I found out that when they put "Take with food" on the side of antibiotics, what they really mean is "Take with food because this stuff is gonna liquefy everything in your G.I. tract, and make you have to run out of the middle of calculus for the worst diarrhea ever." FML
Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML
Today, I forgot to bring my lunch to work. I got so hungry, I resorted to eating antacid tablets from the medicine cabinet for lunch. FML
Today, in preparation for a presentation at work, I decided to take a handful of vitamins to fight my cold. As I was putting the bottles away, I noticed one of them was a laxative. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You would think with all our technology they would make all pills in gummy form by now. Problem solved

Well, I hope she isn't taking them at a different time and overdosing. If not, that's kind of childish (if she dislikes swallowing pills) unless she doesn't believe in medicine and whatnot.

I don't understand how so many people think this is "childish". I used to have a fear of swallowing pills because I thought I would choke on them. Maybe something traumatic happened to her or she has the same fear. She should have just tried to get a different form of the medicine.

It's nice to see how you're more concerned of your wife's infection more than she is. I hope you guys have a happy marriage :-)

All I've seen is comments about not being able to swallow pills, nowhere did OP say his wife couldn't swallow pills but rather she just refuses to take them. OP is being a good husband but it's morally wrong to give someone meds without their knowledge and if his wife just wants to be a big baby and not take the medicine to make her better I say let her get sick and maybe she'll grow up and realize she was giving the medication to help her and not to hurt her....haven't you ever heard of tough love people???

The drawback to "tough love" is that some people are just too lazy or stubborn to care, no matter what the consequences will be. My dad is one of them, and it infuriates me- he has multiple conditions that could (and probably will) kill him, but can be dramatically improved or even cured with a healthier diet and a reasonable amount of exercise. Guess what he insists isn't necessary? Instead, he's going to kill himself with laziness and blame genetics or "bad luck" because that's easier than actually doing something. This is even after 5 hospitalizations in the same year, and constantly complaining that he doesn't feel well (hmm... I wonder why that could be?). Some people just don't want to help themselves. If anyone knows of a way to hide "healthy diet and exercise" in a doughnut, let me know.

so your wife doesn't swallow.

I could understand why. She might had been afraid that she will get an addiction to the pills, a lot of people did.

Antibiotics are not addictive.
