Sneezes - Do you enjoy them?

My mom has this severe dust allergy and she also continues on her sneezes for a long time...

My husband has sneezing fits out of the blue with no apparent cause. He'll sneeze 10 to 20 times in a row with only a few seconds between each one. I'm sure HE doesn't like sneezing!

Okay, now THAT'S nuts! LOL I love a good sneeze but I'm not about to try and bring one on! They do feel very exhilarating, though. Maybe that's what your friend is going for. My mother's buildup to a sneeze would sometimes go on for a full minute, then she'd let out this tiny little, "chew!" We always laughed at her sneezes. She'd laugh, too, of course!

Thanks, sacmom. He's feeling worse, actually. I scowled at him last night and told him he has to see the doctor! (Scowling is serious stuff for me! LOL) He's definitely got an infection going on. He promised me he'd see the doctor today. We'll see! He's still going in to work, though. It's a shame since he can usually work from home but lately has had to be at a jobsite every day. They're having serious programming problems and he's the man to fix it. Poor thing! If you feel a sneeze brewing but just won't come and you know it has to, look at a bright light (not at the sun, of course). It almost always brings that sneeze out. See? I'm a sneeze expert! Not sure if that's a good thing, though.

And thanks for that.

Sorry this response took so long in coming but, better late than never, right? Anyway, I had a good chuckle at your response: the twitching face with a sneeze that is on limbo threatening everyone in sight. Too funny and SO TRUE! LOL

I tell people that my dad was allergic to mornings. Every morning he'd get up and sneeze. Not once, not twice, but over and over and over - puctuated with the occasional swear word.

That's VERY true! Sneezing with a cold is not too pleasant... okay, not pleasant at all. My husband has these sneezing fits every so often where he'll sneeze like 10 to 20 times, one every few seconds with no apparent cause! He doesn't like sneezes very much. LOL

Hahahaha! Yeah, I hate those false alarms! You just KNOW that sneeze is in there somewhere, skulking around, waiting for the wrong moment. LOL

My husband is not an invalid! Right now, he's downstairs in his office working. I don't hover over him. If he needs something, he will let me know and I'll take care of it.

as i have said, i am not mean to hurt you. if you're hurt, i am sorry! men are not like women, they always put all things in their heart. he did not tell you because he love you! what you need to do it care him more sorry to hurt you

thank you, when you grow up, you may not want a wife like me

I've noticed that you haven't been around in awhile, singout. I hope all is okay and that you and yours are well! I also look at a bright light to bring on that stubborn sneeze that loves to tease! I learned a long time ago that the light irritates our eyes, making them water if even just a little, which helps to tickle our noses, bringing about that stubborn sneeze. It's a great little trick to know and so much better than wondering just when that sneeze is going to happen because you KNOW it will, eventually, and probably at the worst possible moment.

and btw, when son sneezes it sounds like the roof going to pop off, like a bomb

There are some sneezes I call "Brain Busters". LOL They're the kind that feel like your entire brain just came out of your nose and mouth! I'm not fond of them at all!!! But, the relief you feel after a good sneeze makes them worth it! They do often come at the wrong time, I agree, but the feeling... ahhh!

Free service... love it! I agree with the conditions you mentioned. Sometimes a sneeze is just a sneeze and that's when they feel the best, once they're over. Sneezing when you're sick is no fun. Sneezing at the wrong time is no fun, either. I also agree with the "moderate velocity". Those sneezes that feel like your brain is being shattered aren't enjoyable at all! But, those sneezes that are right there, on the verge, then go hide somewhere... you just know they're going to happen, eventually.

Me, too! You make all kinds of funny faces when that sneeze is on it's way, only to have it back up. If anyone is around, of course you have to explain that a sneeze just went away or they're going to think you're very strange, just making weird faces for no reason. If you look at a bright light (other than the sun) when you first realize that the sneeze may be going away, it can make you sneeze. I know. I'm a sneeze expert. Actually, the bright light irritates your eyes, making them tear which then tickles your nasal passages and almost always brings on that elusive sneeze. Doesn't always work, but usually it does. I think we all know that, when a sneeze is almost there then goes away, it's going to show itself eventually. My mother had the funniest sneezes I've ever heard. She had this tremendous buildup when a sneeze was imminent, "Ahh, ahhhh, ahhHHH, AHHHHHHHHH" then, the sneeze was a tiny little thing "chew"; you could barely hear it. Maybe it was wrong, but I always laughed when she'd sneeze because you would always expect this massive CCCHHHHEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!! to follow the buildup but it never happened. Yeah, my bad!

I don't think that I would like sneezing at all if I sneezed a lot but I don't sneeze often, usually only when I catch a cold and that's pretty rare. I am not allergic to pets or most pollen, so I just don't sneeze often. I do tend to sneeze when I am dusting around the house because I am allergic to dust. My husband has sneezing "fits" where he might sneeze anywhere between 10 and 20 times in a row before he finally stops. I know HE doesn't like sneezing! I know what you mean about the clogged, runny nose! It can be quite nasty and embarrassing at times! My husband's answer is to use a nasal spray often but I don't like using them because of the bad side-effect of using them too much. I'd rather just blow my nose and take an antihistamine/decongestant if necessary. I hate those sore, red noses too!
