Guy Whose Had The Hiccups For Two Years Gets The News That He'll Likely Have Them For The Rest Of His Life

Irish Mirror- A man who has been hiccuping for two years is devastated after finding there is probably no cure and he will have them for life. Desperate Daniel Clavin, 38, began suffering after a boozy night out and the problem is now ruining his life. The Roscommon man has to sleep in a separate room to his wife, is embarrassed about going anywhere in public and he has a struggles to ?eat normally.

How’s your Monday going?  Pretty good?  Ya know, other than it’s Monday and your brain is operating at about 67% after blacking out on consecutive nights this weekend and your co-workers in the cube are the worst people in the world.  Well, chin up ol’ chap.  Things could be worse.  A lot worse.  At least you’re not this guy whose had the hiccups for TWO YEARS and just got the news that he’ll probably have them forever.  Think about that.  He has the hiccups for two years, goes into the doctor’s office hoping for some relief or good news and instead he’s told he’ll probably have them forever.  Rough.  He’s 38 years old so he’s looking at at least 20 more years of consecutive hiccuping.  I rarely support suicide but this might be one of those times where I do.  Just think about all the times you’ve been drunk and you get the hiccups.  Those are the worst times of my life.  I’m serious.  There’s nothing worse than having hiccups you can’t get rid of.  NOTHING.  You try everything.  Holding your breath, having people scare you, sipping water, etc.  But instead of drinking in peace with my friends my trachea loses control of itself and I feel like I’m going to puke every 45 seconds.  Good times.  Now imagine that happens 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  Unbearable.

PS- Do the hiccups continue while he’s sleeping too or do they give him a break?  Hiccups are assholes but you’d think they’d be decent enough to let the man get a full 8 hours.  If not, suicide is the only option.
