I, too, am so glad it's not just me--although I'm sure that doesn't help you one bit!
I can finally get DS7 to take nasty medicine (and no matter how good they claim it tastes, that sulfa mix stuff he always seems to get is just nasty) by holding his nose for him and having some tea handy to wash the taste out fast. He still refuses to swallow pills. I'm heartened by the fact that so many things are starting to come out in "strips" now, that don't taste bad and dissolve on the tongue.
DD3 actually doesn't mind it as much as he does, and in fact even hounds me with "medicine? medicine?" when it's not even time yet!
