The Capsule: EVIL!!!

Is it me or does this happen to anyone else? I can't take capsules!!! For some reason my Dr. always prescribes me the capsule form of my medication, even after I tell her my problems with it. Then I have to to call and have her change it to tablet form. Well this time I let it go thinking "We'll try it again!". All was well for a while until last night. It got stuck in my throat again. When I swallowed it, apparently it did not make it all the way down but instead it stayed in my esophagus. Right side to be exact! Usually I can "take care" of the situation if I feel like it's "stuck" but last night I was too tired and thought it would work it's way down while I slept. WRONG!!!!!! I never slept!! But felt confident it would pass so I dozed on and off and finally at 6:00am I was fed up! It would NOT come out!!! I tried everything!! Hot coffee to melt it, bread to help it pass, drink water, banana!! And it hurts so bad to swallow!!!! It is now 10am and it is still there!! I AM MISERABLE!!!!!!!

*apparently I am not the only one*
