Hiccups- A Chronic Condition?

From Yahoo News:

Jennifer Mee can't stop hiccuping. For more than three weeks now, the 15-year-old St. Petersburg teen has hiccuped close to 50 times a minute — despite the best efforts of doctors and home remedies.

She's had blood tests, a CT scan and an MRI. Drugs haven't worked. Neither has holding her breath, putting sugar under her tongue, sipping pickle juice, breathing into a paper bag and drinking out of the wrong side of a glass.

And, yes, people have tried to scare them out of her.

More.

Well, I guess modern medicine is puzzled at this point. I doubt she has tried all of these "cures?" My favorite is "T's Lick, Toss & Bite but Hick No More!"
