Deb, the hiccups finally subsided over the weekend. An upside was that I drank crazy amounts of water trying to get rid of them. I plug my ears and nose and drink almost a pint of (not too cold) water. I know lots of water is very important during TX. I'm pretty sure it was from the Roxicet as I have experienced that before. I think I over did the pain meds a bit after my first day of chemo because I fealt great. I know that sounds crazy. I think you kinda need to be an addict (like me) to understand that. I will be talking to my Dr's tomorrow about the Fentynal patch because it will give me a more even dose, work aound the clock, and be less of a temptation for me to "over do it". The lsat thing I'll need when I'm done with all this is to have to check into another re-hab. If it gets unbearable and I have to go back to lots of Roxicet I'll ask about Thorizine but I'm hopingf it won't come to that. Thanks for all the great feedback and advise. I would REALLY be lost without all of you folks. I owe you a lot, and I am looking forward to being able to give back to this community (and it's new commers)long after I have won this battle.
