I don't get hiccups often but when I do they are severe and are painfull. It also seems to be a pattern for me that if I get hiccups one day then I will continue to get them off and on for a few days following.
I got them really bad on Monday? and I keep getting them this week. Today just sucked since I have a sore throat and an upset stomach. I hate hiccups!

Oh man, having an upset stomach already just makes the hiccups worse. I used to get them a lot in high school, and I swear I tried every remedy.
Now, I haven't got hiccups for a few years now. *knocks on wood* The last time I did, I had to make a whole bunch of professional sounding phone calls, so I just fought the hiccups back and tried to talk through them. It worked, they went away within a couple calls instead of lasting for the rest of the day.
Stare at a second hand on a clock or watch and count the hiccups per second, they will gradually decrease and quit, I swear it works every time, if not I will give you a full refund.
