My o.h. has sneezing fits which go on for several minutes - they happen for no apparent reason.

I did read somewhere that if you feel a sneeze coming on especially when driving etc press one finger hard on area between nose and upper lip and it will stop.

My son used to laugh at me sneezing when he was younger, he said it sounded as if I was saying 'Hetchigum'

Does anyone else's sneeze 'say' anything ?

Lyndi ...LOL! Know the feeling but never thought of being cheated haha

Lyndi Lol!! I know what you mean, anticlimax. :-D

Well if it's due to pollen Nolls, washing it out could stop the sneezes!! :-D
I sneeze most mornings and it is VERY loud lol.
I hate it when you go to sneeze and then for some reason it stops - I try looking at the sun or bright light to make it happen, but if not I feel cheated lol.

Yep Hubby could sneeze for Britain ...have to tell him to leave the room when we are watching TV ...I also tell him to sniff cold water up his nose to stop it, don't know if it really works but gives me a few mins peace and quiet lol! :-D

For goodness sake don't try to keep your eyes open when driving and sneezing otherwise your eyeballs could hit the windscreen. :-)

Yes Ann..,and like Tenerife Sun always try to hold back a sneeze,which is difficult ,while driving and can be really dangerous.

OH has sneezing fits ................. changes of temperature are one cause for him


and they can be sudden, explosive, and loud

He has to try to give me a warning that he is about to sneeze if he can ................. I jump a mile every time!



His father was the same, always having sneezing fits.

Hi Sue,

I don't sneeze all day. Maybe once or twice.

hi ann,
I have sneezing episodes everyday,they are alway's 10-11 long,sometimes I think they are coming from my feet as they take ages to get there but boy do they fire out when they do.
my gp say's I have allergic rhinitis & I have to use a steroid nasal spray everday.
if I do not use the spray I can sneeze for most of the day and my nose feel's blocked.

EDIT-my son also has sneezing fit's as well.

My OH always sneezes when he looks into the sun, frightens the life out of me when he is driving. He is a much more dainty sneezer than me though.

Wendy (TS) I am pretty sure an elderly lady driver was injured when she sneezed on the motorway near here some years back. Yes I have heard you sneeze and am sure you have heard me too. Lol!!!

Lay off the "Snuff" Ann. :-D :-D :-D :-D

l have had quite a few sneezing sessions recently, about 3 - 5 at a time, but they have stopped now....l am loud too, very loud says Vic and he gets so annoyed...BUT he sneezes loads and that annoys me more...lol
He'll sneeze as soon his teeth break into a piece of chewing gum, whilst drinking beer and eating chocolate...he can't smell or taste either:((

jude :-)

Yes Tenerife Sun - you could get run over.

I never sneeze less than five times and as someone's said you have to close your eyes. I dread having a sneezing fit in the fast lane of the motorway :-(

It wasn't just the physical display, impressive though it was, but the sneezes were not the usual 'atishoo' type whether explosive or not.

When this lady sneezed it was a continuous 'nick nick nick' sound and could go on for about fifteen to twenty such utterances.

Weird!

When I quaff certain ales I spend the next half hour sneezing sometimes.

Must be an allergy to some hops.

But don't worry about me. I shall endeavour to put up with it whilst carrying out my ongoing and vitally important research.

and I thought it was a rumble of thunder in the distance Ann :-D

Whatever the reason, sneezing requires a momentary eye closure.

:-D :-D :-D @Allan
