Ok, here's another WTF of the day :wtf:
| quote: | Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage.
Department of Inernal Medicine, Bnai Zion Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.
A 60-year-old man with acute pancreatitis developed persistent hiccups after insertion of a nasogastric tube. Removal of the latter did not terminate the hiccups which had also been treated with different drugs, and several manoeuvres were attempted, but with no success. Digital rectal massage was then performed resulting in abrupt cessation of the hiccups. Recurrence of the hiccups occurred several hours later, and again, they were terminated immediately with digital rectal massage. No other recurrences were observed. This is the second reported case associating cessation of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. We suggest that this manoeuvre should be considered in cases of intractable hiccups before proceeding with pharmacological agents.

Only in Israel *cough* Psy-T *cough* are people so obsessed with rectal massage. :stongue: |

actually, it's supposed to rest on your temple...same theory behind that cup in the picture I posted. Does something with charges to stop the muscle from twitching. I had the hiccups for hours at a time, every day for almost a month, so I finally gave up & ordered one of those things. They were gone in a second. |

To tell you the truth, I've come up with a way to force hiccups to stop right after the first one.
So I only have one, or two hiccups at most. I'm not sure how I do it, but I do remember learning to do it when I was younger.
Edit: I think the aliens impanted the ability into me when I was abducted. |

I used to do something with my throat that'd solve it, but it failed me for that month & it was unbelievably frustrating. Hic-cup ftw. |

| I honestly don't think there's one right way to solve hiccups, it's different for every person. |
