touch your finger to the top of your upper lip right below the middle of ur nostrils. that always helps. then stick your right foot out and turn to the right for thirty seconds. and then shake it all about. i promise, it works.

Or you could pray. Ain't that right psychodoctor? God always answers every prayer - even requests to stop endless bouts of sneezing. Let's hold hands in prayer....

just wrap your nose up in duct tape and then breath through ur nose.... or pray... supposedly that works. hahaha. but i always use that trick i talked about... but if ur still sneezing, take some sudafed. that'll clear u up.

No, tape your mouth and your nose shut...but do so with caution, because it might make your head explode.

Or you could try a coffee enema. Don't use esspresso though, that can over-caffinate you and can cause jitteryness, anxiety, heart palpitations, tachycardia, hyperactivity, and it can cause nasty withdrawal headaches...

Okay, seriously, benadryl might work for the sneezing. Or cold medicine.

Benadryl works for allergies, cold medicine for colds. Benadryl will make you too out of it for studies though (if it IS an allergy). I reccomend Alavert (or a generic store brand). It melts under your tongue, starts working in 10 minutes and works for 24 hours without side effects. I love it!!!

There are special kudos in my labs for excessive use of duct tape.

I think I'm allergic to just about everything (especially Los Angeles -I get within 20 miles of downtown and I'm sneezing so hard I bump into things). Half of my poor fam has been desensitized with allergy shots.

I'll second the Alavert recommendation. There are some non-drowsy daytime versions of Benadryl, but really the over-the-counter Claritin or Claritin-D (decongestant) do the trick. Nowadays they come in 24-hour form. If it gets really bad and you have the lame allergy headache in your sinuses, it might be worth looking into Allegra, Zyrtec, or Clarinex. They work differently for different people, but for me they clear up the allergy haze.

So long as I'm not racing in LA, after a while, the outrageous sneezing is sorta funny!

Immune system enhancements: Zinc, Echinacea, Vitamin C
Antihistamine: Claritin/Loratadine (the only over the counter non-sedating antihistamine)
Decongestant: Suphedrine or Phenyephrine (if needed)
