……… I get a pain in my arm, then it goes numb. How odd! Admittedly it’s probably a nerve thing from having Guillain-Barre but how does it happen?

Not that rare apparently, try google.

.. you teleport somewhere nearby?

Seems I’m not as special as i first thought!

Oh you are paul, you are…..

You are increasing the pressurewithin the covering of your spinal column when you sneeze so any already existing (mild) compression of your spinal nerves as they exit will be exacerbated for a short time. Hence numbness due to the increase in compression. So could be linked to the Guillian Barre as that attacks the whole nervous system! may want to get the base of your neck and thorasic outlet (bit from neck to shoulder under your collar bone) checked out by an Osteopath/Physio/Chiropractor, could probably reduce some compression there. All in all wouldn’t worry too much!

Every time you sneeze your heart stops beating momentarily – FACT

Thank you darling!

some people sneeze after orgasm, don’t they ?

.. pain in the arm, you say – fatigue/RSI ? 😉

scared pants – v good

I was getting occasionally numb fingers in my right hand last year, worse whenever I got stressed. was convinced I was heart attack material . GP ran tests said I was fine but referred me for physiotherapy on my shoulders and upper back which were v tight and hunched up – few sessions later all fine. Hope yours sorts itself as easily.

Well I still can’t feel my feet and fingers, so a bit more numbness is nowt!

OMG! Don’t post that on mumsnet. Thousands of women will doubt they’ve ever had a real orgasm if they don’t sneeze after 😯

I think I’d rather tell my doctor that rather than admit I have RSI from my embarrassing STW/Twitter addiction

What about the woman who orgasmed every time she sneezed ?

When asked what she was taking for it, she said “Pepper”……
