Hic, hic, hiccup!

Well I would have to say that the problem for flatulence would be a problem that I would hate too!! Hiccups are no fun, and can you imagine having them all the time...uggghhh I have hiccups once in a day and sometimes they really hurt!! I have bad allergies and my sneezing and congested/runny nose really gets old after a while and I have medicine that I take but it doesn't take the sympotoms away 100%......its really no fun at all!!

My boyfriend gets the hiccups and can't stop. He actually has to go to the hospital and get a shot because it gets so bad he can't breathe. Myself I have bad sinuses and my head seems to always be stopped up. This is very annoying.

I joke you not my dear friend but that is exactly what I have right now, not the hiccups, I don't seem to suffer with those, fortunately, but the flatulence, I love the way you put it, farting to me LOL! (I wonder if I can get away with this word!) trying to think what I've eaten today that has make me backfire, chicken, wedges, bananas, brazil nuts, oh anyhow, I think flatulence would be the worst, mind you that would be quite interesting at the gym, giving me wind power on the cross trainer they'd be smoke coming out of me for sure! Thanks for making me smile as always, I only hope you didn't frown that I have debased your excellent discussion in any way ;0)

What is your solution to control bodily functions? The most horrible involuntary bodily function I would most hate to have no control over is flatulence. I would not imagine that i be able to perform my job efficiently. Although having a proper diet might help to overcome this problem

I don't have any continueing problem as you mention but I wanted to share with you a story about my husband. He had the hic-ups for a very long time and it was starting to really hurt him, in the throat and chest and lungs. So after about two weeks of suffering he went to the hospital and they admitted him because they said he was damaging his throat and his stomach. They gave him some medicines and eventually they were able to stop it, but it took about a week in the hospital. So by the time his hic-ups were cured he had rips in his throat and they had to give him antibiotics for that. And then he had to be on a liquid diet for about a month so his stomach could heal. So having the hic-ups for a long time can be very serious. I am surprised about this guy you heard about in the news, 2 years. My husband would never have survived two years. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

I think I heard about that guy that had the hick ups for a long time, my goodness I couldn't imagine having the hick ups for that long, I mean WOW! when I get the hick ups its really uncomfortable to me even for just a few minutes so having the hick ups for 2 years would really be unpleasant, poor guy.

i know that if there is a problem with diaphragm,it can lead to hiccups.medically,he might be having some disease.i have problem of gas on some days of the month.my stomach gets bloated,as the gas doesnt pass upwards or downwards.thankfully,my stomach comes back to normal in a few days.

I can deal with flatulence but constant shaking to the point where I can't write or have a conversation or something, that would make me very unhappy.

I would hate to have anything like you mentioned to be a continuous problem. A person can only take so much without going nuts.

I would hate to have the hiccups all the time. Its already annoying to get it for a few minutes hear and there. I guess after two years you may get used to the idea and ignore it. Start to live with it.
