I do. I am just sitting here minding my business and my not-so-maidenly bosom lurches with the force of yet another hiccup muscle spasm. It's scaring my cat.

Share all your favorite home remedies for hiccups here...I know you all have some good ones. :lol:

I am not a practicing attorney. I have a law degree and I passed the bar exam, but am not admitted to practice because I got a job in legal publishing and haven't gotten around to applying for my license yet. Publishing is great, but it does not make you qualified to give legal advice. So I don't. I just want to get married to my fella, which is why I'm here! If you need legal help, seek the advice of a licensed attorney.

This is a surefire method of curing hiccoughs for me:

take a cup of water and then sip continuously - don't stop even though it is hard to swallow and breathe - and just keep sipping for about 2 minutes. The hiccoughs stop. Good luck!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

my fav remedy is a piece of american cheese ... but i also thinks it's mind over matter. i think whatever remedy you learned as a kid is the one that ends up working for you.

but generally, holding your breath does the trick!! :thumbs:

When my kids were little they thought I had magic powers cos I could make their hiccups stop dead....made them close their eyes and tell them to just listen to my voice and I would start to talk about the 'stars' that appear when they close their eyes...hiccups would be gone in seconds....talk about anything really cos it is all mind over matter..... when I have hiccups I can just close my eyes now and say 'stop' and they do :yes: My other half thinks I am spooky :lol:

i've suggested that to a few former g/f's, it still didn't cure my hiccups. :angry:

a spoon full of peanut butter always worked for me when I was a kid.

If you add some chocolate sauce it is simply a treat as well as a cure!! :star:
