When I eat or drink, I get the hiccups almost every time, even with slow sips. It could be in combination with inhaling air while I talk that could be interfering. Will I never be able to speak at dinnertime with friends without hiccuping?

My skin has totally become very dry. I've never had to use lotion before but now have to cover my body head to toe to avoid super dry skin. What's with that? Is there a Vitamin I'm missing?

I get the hiccups like that too. But they don't last too long. I usually get up and walk it off. Walking seems to be my fix for everything! I started using firming lotion right after the surgery, but I still have dry skin. It has been a long cold winter where I'm from and dry skin is normal.

After I get out of the shower, I use a HomeHealth Almond Glow unscented skin lotion w/peanut, olice, lanolin & Vit E in it. Just my daily routine that helps my dry skin.

I get the hicups too, regardless of how fast or slow I eat or drink. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with them - strangest thing ever. Walking helps me or sometimes a slow stretch.

The dry skin thing may be due to not enough Water intake. I don't know on that one but I had to buy some curel for the first time. My hands look old and cracked if I don't use it a few times a day every day.

As far as the question about the child with dry skin ... Aveno makes a soothing oatmeal bath that works pretty good. There are other over the counter things you can add to bath water like bath salts, bath oils, or bubble bath. I would stick to unscented because the perfumes in them tend to dry out the skin and they smell girly for the most part. Just be sure that he understands how slippery the tub will be if he uses any of these and that it must be rinsed out for the next person.
