I sneezed last night and gave myself whiplash!


I just thought I would share this with you all

Ouch!

You will forever henceforth be known as Auntie Whiplash.

Seriously though lil, that sounds awful! Have you got to wear one of those collar supports? Hope it gets better soon, and no more sneezing!

Bang goes my reputation

Lanza, sweetheart!

It was a sort of cough that developed into a sneeze unexpectedly.

Normally I have to hold my head when I sneeze to stop this happening, but I was typing at the same time.... I really shouldn't multitask while sneezing

bloody attention seekingagain!

just co's I'VE a cold

I've had worse


get well soon love

*giggles*

So you didn't catch man-flu then?

My mother-in-law worked with a guy who was always sicker than everybody else. Once when she told him she had a headache, he replied that he had two headaches, one at the front, and another quite distinct one at the back.

I'm now thinking I'm odd. I regularly get two quite distinct headaches.

Sometimes they merge into one almighty skull-splitter.

ha! Jealousy will get you lot anywhere

A friend of mine once sneezed so awkwardly that she broke two ribs in the process. She got no sympathy from her husband (an orthopedical doctor!) - all he said was, "How can anyone sneeze like that? It's just daft."

And yes, they eventually divorced...

I once sneezed and it looked like this:

I had banged my head on the keyboard in the process.

Ouch!

Last year when I was really sick for a couple of weeks, I coughed so hard I broke a couple of ribs. That hurt mainly because I still coughed for several weeks afterward so they kept poking me on the inside. I've never had any sneeze-related injury more serious than biting my tongue or lower lip.

Lil, I do hope you are I have blockbuster sneezes, my husband used to shout at me Fortunately I get warning but sometimes there is nothing you can do!

Take care,

Sneezing too hard can also give you concussion ... that's nothing to sneeze at!

Guy I know is a concert tenor and he was doing a performance in some cathedral somewhere...

He felt a sneeze coming but couldn't really sneeze onstage so he tried to keep it in as much as possible.

The sneeze was big enough that not only did it give him whiplash but the whiplash was so severe he blacked out and fell off the wee stage he was on, dislocating three ribs in the process.

And all this in front of an audience.
