Wow, so ALL day I have had these really bad hiccups and they have been painful! My throat is really sore now and even a small hiccup is painful. I've tried everything to get them to go away but nothing works! And when they do go away, it only lasts for maybe 5 or 10 minutes and then they come right back.
Out of curiosity (and hoping for some help) I called my doctor and, sure enough, hiccups are a rare side effect of chemo. Because hiccups are not a common side effects I wasn't prepared with a prescription to help them go away. Now, I know my problems could be worse, but seriously...I want these hiccups gone! My doctor said that there is medicine to relieve the hiccups...and I will definitely be going to Virginia Mason in the morning to get that medicine!
Hopefully the hiccups go away tonight because I'd really like to get some sleep!!
