Sneezing Fits

I'm prone to sneezing fits. Sometimes 15 or 20 in a row - seconds or minutes apart, sometimes 50 or more. The fits leave me totally exhausted if they go on for too long. I have to pull over while driving. At home I've tried holding my breath, holding my nose, laying down, anything that might work, but nothing does.

My faithful dog Merlin, a Goldendoodle, is always by my side before the second sneeze, looking up at me in concern. I tell him, "I'm OK little fella." and he seems a bit relieved, but stays close until I quit sneezing.

Today a sneezing fit came on...I can tell from the first sneeze whether it's a loaner or the beginning of a fit. Merlin came quickly to my side and looked up at me with concern. I said, "Thank you little fella. I'm OK" and buried my face in the soft fur of his neck as a token of my gratefulness for his attention. I love the way he smells; I took a deep sniff...and the sneezing ceased.

Maybe a fluke...maybe he knew all the time how to help.

If this doesn't help I've found one other thing to try:
Get down on your hands and knees with your head on the floor - move your head in as close to your knees as you can...
