Girl's ‘endless’ hiccups end

Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 07:11 PM by Roon

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — She sipped pickle juice, held her breath, breathed into a bag, even went to a neurologist, but for more than five weeks nothing would stop a 15-year-old girl's rapid hiccups — until they finally just stopped on their own.

After trying countless remedies and attracting national media attention, Jennifer Mee said her hiccups suddenly stopped around 5 p.m. Wednesday. No one is certain why.

"Right now, my nose is burning and my throat hurts," she told the St. Petersburg Times, but she said she felt a lot better than she has in weeks.

1. Poor kid...

I wonder if they didn't continue because she was so stressed out about stopping them.

I'm glad she's done with them; but I'll bet she'll be freaked the next time she hiccups.
