I have gotten hiccups 3 times today,. yes 3 times from taking a drink too fast, i guess. I really hate hiccups and sometimes they hurt. So I just looked hiccups up online and read that a man had actually had hiccups for 68 years and a girl had them for 6 weeks! Could you imagine, I would go insane and wouldn't it be hartd to eat? What are your thoughts on hiccups?

I couldnt stand to have the hiccups for 68 minutes let alone years. Those poor people, i'm sorry to say but i would've smothered myself, not really but I know I would've thought about it. thank God I only get them once in a blue moon.

Oh my! I have then about 4 or 5 times EVERYDAY!! For the last 3 weeks I have not gone more than one day without hiccuping!!I get the kind that really hurt too. I don't think I could got that long with the hiccups. We always got a big spoon of sugar and tried to swallow it. It usually works.

Oh, I would definitely go crazy having hiccups for any length of time. I hate them. I think it would be very difficult to eat with chronic hiccups. It's hard to believe that someone could have them for all those years. Wow!

I know, I can't believe there was nothing they could do to get rid of them.
