I've had some ridiculous allergy type moments where I'll lie down and sneeze ~30 times in a row, and my eyes will get really watery and itchy. There's no way I can stop except my drinking water and breathing through a wet cloth.
I also have episodes of 15-20 sneezes, mostly in the early spring time.. It sucks! I hate sneezing when youre sick though, it really hurts the inside of your nose and throat..
i stayed home yesterday just to take it easy and i really did get sick yesterday. lol stayed home today but i'm going in at the beginning of lunch.
A friend of mine would respond to sneezing episodes as follows: achoo "gesundheit" achoo "gesundheit" achoo "Okay- now you just want the attention"
i can hold my sneezes by putting my finger beneath my nostril and lightly touching my septum. i usually almost sneeze, i;l feel the tingle coming and then right as i breathe in and about to launch a boogie i put my finger on my septum and the zneese disappears. i can also stop smelly farts... the key is dryer sheets.
.. it is harmful to yourself to hold your sneeze in on purpose.. The sneeze response is a defense mechanism... just sneeze into the corner of your arm, or hands..
