answer from [log in to unmask] Hi Jeff, Posting isn't all that difficult is it? Many thanks for your suggestion. We have consulted with the local doctors and they have tried their usual methods of stopping hiccups, with no permanent success. Of course the hiccups may not be due to Parkinson's at all but they started, I think, just after Parkinson's was diagnosed. Thanks again ARutherford [log in to unmask]
