Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Kim, A friend of mine in our support group recently went through this. She had to go to the doctor who gave her a muscle relaxant to stop the " cycle " of heaving. It calmed her spasms, and she stopped the dry heaves. No explanation was forthcoming on WHY it happened, but at least it stopped. She got some rest, and it didn't recur. Good luck, and by all means, keep us all posted!
