NEWS: 5 Week Struggle with Hiccups Ends

CULTURE: 5 Week Struggle with Hiccups Ends

This might be at once the saddest and most hopeful story I've ever heard. A young girl lived for five weeks enduring torture like no man has known. She suffered hiccups occurring at an average of 50 hiccups per minute.

I would kill myself.

Finally, the curse put on Jennifer by pure evil ended when the girl discovered the magic of hypnotism. Debbie Lane purged Jennifer of this horrible monster, and as Jennifer awoke from her trance she uttered the words "I love you."

Jennifer was able to sleep during the five week period only while heavily medicated. Still, as soon as she woke up she resumed hiccuping. She had to take a leave of absence from school. Hypnotism saves yet another life.

Here is Jennifer's appearance on the Today show, where we learn the true meaning of pain.

Omigod, yes.

what is truly sad here is that she'll never grow up to be a lovable hiccuping old drunkard.

i feel bad for her, but it's kind of funny watching the video and hearing her hiccup as other people were talking. I get the hiccups for more than five minutes and i am irritated.

The date on this story is from 2 weeks ago!

that is so awful. I rarely get the hiccups but when I do, I'll get them 9 or 10 times a day and it gets old fast...

My God! Two weeks? If I had known that, I wouldn't have found it interesting!!!

Hic, kill me, hic, kill me.

i SO wanted someone to jump out from behind that couch at scream at her.
scares might not always work, but they're funny for everyone else

Huh?

It was interesting whenI first heard about it a month ago. Then, it was interesting again when I heard about her being cured...two weeks ago.

Forgive me if I find it weird that a Newswire is posting shit that's already been covered by everybody, many times, a while back.

well God forbid that the Newswire didn't check with you first. I am sure they will adjust their behavior in the future as to not upset you again your highness.

Err...I'm not complaining. I just think it's odd. To me, "News" is usually timely.

But yes, checking with me first is usually a good idea before doing anything. That's the first smart thing you've said.

I'll be sure to check with you before pointing anything interesting out about the Newswire. God forbid you should feel like I was criticizing anybody!

News to me is anything i didn't know about. I had never heard about this before, and hence found it interesting. Just because you've heard about it, doesn't mean everyone has.

burnt!

i thought the same thing, that i was surprised she didn't kill herself or try to.
i can't imagine that poor girl's frustration! for all she knew, it could have lasted forever!
hiccups make me grumpy after only a few minutes.
i was so glad to see she was better...
the stories on the news said her family had taken her to every kind of doctor available. they even had her screened for brain tumors and neurological disorders. poor kid must have been terrified!

eeehhhhhh, i do and don't feel that bad. i've had the hiccups for two years now, almost. mine just aren't constant. some times a hundred a day, sometimes a few hundred, sometimes less!

Donkey punch.

AFAIC, if it hasn't been mentioned on the boards, it's fair game for the news wire.

Ummm.

The girl said that people came up to her and asked if she was pregnant on account of her hiccups.


Quah?


Nothing like a valium/benadryl cocktail to put anyone to sleep.

Mmmm, better life thru chemistry.....
That's some serious sedative!

Sadly, the hiccups returned.

can u imagine having something like that and not knowing if it was ever going to end? It would drive me completly insane i think

Everytime I get the hiccups, I get scared that I'll be one of those people that gets them for 5 years non-stop. I have the hiccups that hurt.
