My teacher a few years back was telling me something about how one of her family members had the hiccups for like 2 months straight and they finally went to the doctor and found he had a tumor, or something. I forget if it was a tumor or something else, but it was pretty bad.

I'm going on day 4 right now, and it's beyond annoying. I work in sales and I can't talk on the phone because every few second I let out a big "HIC", and it's pretty embarrassing. Everyone in the office is having a pretty good laugh at my expense, and I want to stick a knitting needle into my throat.

They go away for an hour or two, and then I'll yawn, and bang. Hiccups again.

My kidneys hurt, my back hurts, and it feels like my ears are all full of water. It really is hell.

Does anyone know how to get rid of these goddam things?

Holy crap, man. My personal record is maybe 4-5 minutes. Can't imagine going any longer than that.

Hopefully it goes away soon!

Haha, I have to say this was a totally unexpected reason for bumping the thread. I saw the bump, read through some old posts, then got to the new one and had a few ideas running through my head...

-She killed herself
-hiccupping still going, new update on the hardship
-different person with same problem, poster using existing thread to post story

Nope, she murdered someone and went to jail. Straight of left field.

They actually have a cure for hiccups. Some doctor I think won the Nobel for it. It is basically a rectal massage of some sort.

This might belong in the 'drunkest you've ever been' thread but, I had the hiccups at a stampede party. My co-worker was making fun of me because I had wicked bad hiccups. I said I was going to stop them. I relaxed my diaphragm and boom no more hiccups. Co-worker was amazed. I have never been able to do it again. Takes a lot of concentration.

Hiccups are the worst. Would honestly rather have a flu or a cough for days than hiccups for only a few minutes.

Here is what I've found works most of the time to get rid of them.

1) take a deep breath in through your nose and hold it and swallow
2) repeat 3-4 times without breathing out, it gets very hard to swallow towards the end

hiccups are gone.

Yup, that's my remedy too! Works every time!

I've got the best cure for a person with the hiccups. The running superman punch to the sack usually cures them.

And they'll never ask you if they can borrow 10 bucks again.
