[owdhamer]

fao of squad and all kind abers Had fourth 4 hour session of chemo wed all seems to be going well, apart from the bloody hiccups.

[sara3]

that sounds gruelling.. hope you're okay. is that your lot?

[starone]

Well done, owdhamer. Try this for the hiccups - put the bowl of a spoon in your mouth with the bowl upside down on your tongue. Close your mouth firmly and breathe through your nose. Always works for me. Never give up.

[boxtops]

Thanks for the update, owdhamer - fingers crossed for you.

[Sqad]

[owdhamer]

Thanks to all you kind people,the spoon worked starbuckone but will have to take it with me today ,should get some funny looks ,but if it works,what the hell.

[rowanwitch]

ask the med team for help with the hiccups they might be able to give a low dose of a drug that can stop them

[ttfn]

Morning owdhammer - well done to you and Star. Nothing wrong with carrying a spoon everywhere - teaspoon size mind you - not the sherry trifle serving size one ;) Keep up the good work.

[starone]

You're right ttfn, I should have specified teaspoon, unless of course you have a very large mouth. :-)

[ttfn]

Star - guess what ? ;)

[starone]

I know you are a lovely person ttfn so no good suggesting that!
Owdhamer, best of luck. Keep going, and don't give up.

[Dee Sa]

well done with the treatment sessions hope the hiccups go away.
I always do that with a teaspoon when peeling onions it stops you crying.

[pusskin]

[owdhamer]

Being a bit of pill___k i have been using a tablespoon,far easier with a teaspoon. no sara3 last session on jan 4th, the drugs suggested by christies dont work, thanks again for all the support.
