...pill person" is what Ellie says. She is an attractive tennis-playing 65-year-old woman who has been with me through a broken wrist and a shoulder operation. She took only Tylenol for the pain in both instances. She is (for many other reasons) a great woman - upbeat and interested in everything, outgoing, concerned and very into her sports; I hope I'm at least a little like her when I hit 65. It's because of Ellie and others like her that I harbor a mild aversion to taking medicines myself. I haven't yet started swallowing...
...anxiety toward science. We stand in awe of science, its discoveries, its modern-day miracles that we use every day, that we couldn’t imagine living without. How many of us truly know the physics behind the computers we type at daily, or the biology of Tylenol, which we trust to rid us of the slightest headache?

They hurt so bad that his head had to "lie down," especially in the morning and evening, though they usually improved with Tylenol. There were no obvious warning signs: Dylan's grades were average, he had no history of trauma, no recent illnesses, no fever, no runny nose, no vision problems and no difficulty eating - although he was a very picky eater. He had good friendships and there were no stressors at home. And as with Sarah, there was no history of headaches or migraines...
...Rajapatirana's mother, Anoja, told me that her son suffers from seizures, as do many autistic people. For years, she would crush up his medication and put it in his food, because he couldn't swallow the pills. "One day, he had a headache, and he just swallowed a Tylenol," she recalls. Anoja, amazed, asked him why he had gulped down the Tylenol but had never been able to swallow the seizure medication. He answered, typing, she says, that "he thought that if he didn?t take the pills, maybe he would die." The Rajapatiranas shared this thought from Chandima...
