What Could You Put Up With

If you were stuck with an annoying malady over a weekend until you could see a doctor on Monday, what would it be?
Incessant sneezing, constant hiccupping, non stop yawning or continuous itchiness?

Mine would be yawning because I do that non stop already

It definitely wouldn't be the back pain that I have today

I think I would go for yawning as sneezing and hiccupping can become quite painful after a time.

Yawning definitely I or those I have know have experienced the other suggestions and their unpleasantness is not to be underestimated

I don't have any of those maladies you have mentioned.
I am sure a glass of wine would cure it before you had to
go to the Doctor.
My Malady would be which wine should I chose.

I'm the same as BowieEyes, if something is niggling me and I have to suffer it out I find a few glasses of port make it all the more bearable.

Considering I get barely two hours sleep per night the yawning would be nothing out of the ordinary for me, so I'd go with that.

Yes I'm with the previous replies, I would sort out the malady myself before the end of the weekend. I have an assortment of remedies in my cupboard.
It would take so long to get an appointment that whatever it was would have resolved itself anyway, besides which I don't think I'd get much sympathy if I went to my GP with too much yawning or sneezing.

Nope! And it's hardly a malady, is it?

I'm another who would reach for a little tipple to make me feel better...
