CHANGING THE SUBJECT.....I'm just wondering if any of our sufferers exhibit the same habit Mike does and that is how he sneezes. He "suppresses" his sneezes, in other words, he doesn't "let it out" and I often nag him that he is hurting himself by doing that. (Who me? Nag? Naw....). It's hard to explain - he doesn't totally block the sneeze, it's just that the..um..explosion part of the sneeze is occuring IN his sinuses instead of past them, if you know what I mean.
Since the symptoms of Cluster involve the sinuses so much, I am just wondering if anyone else has a habit of doing this and if, in fact, this is exacerbating the pressure build-up, thus the pain.
Just wondering....
