To All, I have been asked by my friend with persistent hiccups to thank list members for their help. At the present time his hiccups do stop, but the problem is that they begin again far too soon. He has seen a variety of medical specialists who ordered all kinds of tests and then referred him to other specialists. Now, his Parkinson meds and diet are being adjusted and monitored and I think he is feeling a little better. Among the many kind replies to our hiccup question there were several offers to search medical information resources and numerous suggestions about the different ways people try to stop hiccups. I have forwarded copies of the messages to my friend and to his medical advisor. Your response has been heart-warming and we thank you for your good wishes. MORE! There have been some really special letters this week. Where else could we express our pain, our anxieties, our anger (yes, anger) and and receive such understanding and concern.
