OK, not quite a disease, but I have had hiccups since about 8.30pm tonight, and it's nearly 2am, and I can't sleep.

Tried everything like:

holidng my breath, regulating my breathing, sleep, and all that

HOWEVER!

In 2006, Francis Fesmire of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine received an Ig Nobel prize for medicine when he published "Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage" in 1988.[1] In an attempt to block the runaway messages on the vagus nerve, Fesmire found that the stimulation of the vagus nerve by digital rectal massage worked, stopping the patients bout of hiccupping. Fesmire also commented "An orgasm results in incredible stimulation of the vagus nerve. From now on, I will be recommending sex – culminating with orgasm – as the cure-all for intractable hiccups.", so perhaps this is a more efficient and desirable cure for intractable hiccups.


I AIN'T DOING THAT!!!
Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun?

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.
