What is up with this sneezing!

Anybody else sneezing while detoxing, or did while detoxing? And if so, does anybody know why? Also, why does ur taster get all messed up. (Lighter topic to make me feel better)  ;0)

That's how I allways know I'm in withdrawl and not just feeling a bit under the weather. I always start sneezing 3 or 4 times in rapid succession. It  sounds a bit like a sneezing uzi. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
God bless,
Graeme

thats funny. By working in the medical fielsI have notived when I have given narcan for and opiate od, the eprson began sneezing and yawning. I have read the insert, the paperwrok on the med narcan and it said these 2 might be an indcator that one is going to have a seizure. I have gone into w/d many tims though and did the sneezing, thats how i knew i was in w/d. but ive never had a seizure.i think it hd to do with receiving narcan iv after a long extended use of opiates then receiving narcan. bu in general i think its just a sign of going into w/d. hope this helps..

yup.  but as i told some of the folks here, i went for acupuncture last week and he asked me if my sinuses were jacked up (by looking at my tongue!)

then he did his magic and voilia!  i've barely sneezed since.

i highly recommend it, if you can find a good one...

Yeah I sneezed and yawned a lot. I think someone told me it has something to do with your brain "falling back into place", or like re-programing it's self. I still don't know for sure exactly, but someone will tell ya i'm sure..
