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!!
Praying you get relief Ryan!
