Today, I have three cracked ribs. I have also, for the first time in my life, developed a case of the hiccups that simply will NOT go away. It's been hours. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I cracked a rib coughing. FML
Today, I tripped and fell, damaging my sternum and making it incredibly painful to breathe in or out too much. About ten minutes later, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I fractured two ribs. FML
Today, as always, I get the hiccups ten times a day, sometimes more. They are very painful, and the only thing that makes them go away is water. The doctors have found no apparent cause. I hate my body. FML
Today, after battling for hours to get just a little sleep before my early morning work shift, I finally began drifting off. Then I got the worst attack of hiccups in my life. FML
Today, I fractured two ribs from coughing. My doctor told me to stop coughing, or I would fracture them more. I have bronchitis. FML
Today, I coughed so hard that I tore an intercostal muscle in my ribs. Now I can't cover my cough, as I have to cross my arms against my ribcage to stop the pain. FML, FML, F Me All Day Long (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells). FML
Today, I had the pleasure of finding out how it feels to poop with 3 broken ribs. FML
Today, after finally breaking my addiction to sleeping pills, right as I was drifting off to sleep at my first decent drug-free time in over 4 years... I got the hiccups. FML
Today, I've had a cold for over a week, and I've been coughing so hard, I bruised my ribs. I'm also 8 months pregnant. Guess where my son likes to kick me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Stand on your head. Jump up and down. Burp. Drink Ginger Ale. Hold your breath. Get scared. Drink water. Juggle. Yell. Breathe through your mouth. ...and by the time you've read through all of these stupid, inane remedies, you would've forgotten to hiccup. You're welcome.

If you hold your breath for 30 seconds it can help get rid of your hiccups works for me every time.

There is a new invention that a girl developed. It's a hiccup stopping lollipop.

The point of taking a spoonful of sugar is that it redirects how you think. Just like being scared. Or drinking water through a paper towel. The less you think about the hiccups, the faster they go away. I always take one to two packets of sugar and dump them under my tongue. By the time they've dissolved, my hiccups have gone away. But make sure you're doing something else at the same time. Watching TV, playing a game, talking on the phone (dumb as that sounds). Two things at once will allow your diaphragm to stop contracting. Good luck, OP!
