Okay, I've had the hiccups now for the past two hours.

Nothing seems to help. I haven't had the hiccups in years. What's causing this? Is it MS related?

Any suggestions to get rid of them? It was funny at first but now it's just annoying.

Uuuurrgghhh! I get hiccups a lot and it is very annoying. But it has never lasted as long as yours have.

Have you tried a spoonful of sugar or brown sugar? How about leaning forward, with your chin tucked in, and swallow three times? You need to break the rythym of your diaphram or something like that.

I hope you can stop them soon.

It's spasms of your diaphragm. More spasms, what can I say. Like we need more of them.

I used to get them very often, 10 times a day before a relapse. I used it as one of my signs a relapse was eminent. It just meant an increase in spasticity, because all my symptoms would worsen. And I have a choking issue too.

OR: If you talk while eating, use a straw, get up too quickly after eating, or eat in a rush you can get them, being a normal person, baby or kid.

Drink water very, very slowly, while someone holds your ears. My Grandma's remedy.

Well, they're gone. Don't know exactly when they stopped but I just realized I haven't hiccuped in over five minutes so hopefully they've left.

I'm pleased you're feeling better Kitty. If the hiccups do return, breathing in and out of a paper bag will usually get rid of them.....

I hadn't thought of hiccups as being MS related.

I hadn't had them in years, but got them not long ago for at least 20 minutes. So annoying.

Some guy from Utah was on Johnny Carson because he couldn't quit hiccupping. Did it all day and night. Bleh.

I get them constantly. In the hospital setting we would help patients get rid of them by

Taking in a deep breath, blowing it out, then taking 13 small sips of water from a glass. it will feel like you are running out of air, and by the time you hit 13 youre ready to gasp for some air. This resets the Carbon dioxide level in your body, and forces the diaphram to relax. Why 13? its just an easy number. If you can only make 12 or 11 then go for it. I have yet to see this one fail.

Hiccups are miserable creatures. Esp when you hiccup, burp, swallow. yick!

Thank goodness they're gone!!! They're the worst.... I HATE having hiccups.
Put 'em out of your mind and let's hope they don't come back to bug you.

Two days!! OMG, Kelly, thank goodness they're gone! Sometimes it seems like MS can cause just about anything.
