Last night I had a bad attack of hiccups! I think I would hiccup every 3-4 seconds which seems like an unreasonably fast rate if you ask me. When we were younger I remember my mom giving us a spoonful of sugar to help calm them down, Mary Poppins style... Yes, it ALWAYS seemed to work.
Well, my dubious husband smirked at me unbelievingly and decided that the only way to get rid of my hiccups was for me to hold my breathe. He wasn't much of a help because every time I tried he'd make me laugh. Nonetheless, after a concientious effort on my side, my hiccups disappeared.
I guess my fond childhood memories of taking a spoonful of sugar to make common ailments go away will never be the same. Thanks Brett... you might have disprooved that theory but I'll never stop believing in fairies.
I am so jealous of your experience/think that you are a champ because I know it must be hard at times too! Also, I'm adding you to my blog list. And...did you know I'm getting married and could easily end up in a situation similar to you? We'll have to be international business wives buddies. Form a club maybe? IBW?
