sneeze tourettes?

been sneezing lots today and each time i do, the noises i make get weirder and weirder. and louder too! just sneezed now and did a big ol' "WOOOOO"...my flatmates may start to worry if this continues!
but i don't do real sneezes either... they are never snotty horrible ones that require a tissue, they are kinda internal..if you get me?!

does anyone else have sneeze tourettes? or am i alone in my weird sneezy ways?! :puppyeyes:

Hi ya,I too have sneeze tourettes. Started a few years back and since it started I now have physical tics too.My sneezes can be actual words or phrases sometimes funny and sometime extremely offensive. Lucky I have a GF who is not easily embarrassed. It maybe worth noting that I am also autisic and have ADHD both of which tourettes can be linked to.If it helps I have found the the more stressed or excited I am the worse they get, and worrying about it definitely makes it worse. So when I am out in the wild I take a few minutes to try and clear my thoughts before venturing into crowded public spaces. My experiences of when I do have a moment the public are normally pretty chill about it as they can see I'm stressing and most will give a little supportive smile or a crack a cute joke. Kids and my gf on the other hand find it dead funny.
