Can one silently sniffle?

It's interesting that you say this SaintAnne because my wife has been sneezing and sniffling all day and feeling quite down about it all; yet the minute I was able to divert her attention from these feelings, she hasn't sniffled, sneezed or complained since! The bottom line is that you are setting a bad example for the panda for one; and secondly, the mind has this uncanny ability of creating this realm of suffering that ain't always as bad as it actually is in reality! I say get out some Cure music, dance like a dervish, try on those jeans that still fit ya and get on with it with a smile and a carefree mentality! Do all of this and before you know it, the "subtle" feelings of sickness and negativity will be cowering in the corner like the pansy a@@ed entities they truly deserve to be!

i have not got sniffles in about year.but before that,i had a bad attack of sniffles.it was partly because of my great son who wouldnt sleep at night.and after sleepless night i had to go for work.i had to take leave ,only then did my sniffles subside. take a break and get some rest.your sniffles appear to be because of stress.

You had mentioned about your long day but that was really long. I just hope you are feeling better now. You take care, hon. You post came in timely when I just had recovered from the same. I had bad cold and cough last week and struggled to control the sneezes and snilfles. But guess what, I wasn't doing it right and my endeavor only was validating what i was wanting to hide! So, I took a leave and sneezed and snifled my lung, heart, stomach and whatever out to feel much better. With the release , i got well soon. Just get it out, you will feel better, sisi. Get well soon.

No, you cannot subtly sniff... you have to stuff tissue up your nose. But that's not very subtle either, is it?

Its we and ourselves we can manage if we are a doll or toy, but its really tough to make it silently as we cant change with a remote to our health...in your case take care as the other fellow people in party should not have send you out my friend...

i don't think so. i couldn't do it. iy is so hard to do.can you?

If you are not trying then how subtle can you make it ? I certainly can't in any case.. I had a tought time too a couple of weeks back and can relate to it. Maybe blocking you nose ?

You probably can, because usually the noise inside your head is louder than the one outside, but let's think this through. For those who believe in the germ theory of contagion it is the earlier stage of a cold that is most easily communicated to ones friends. So do you really want to risk giving the birthday person the gift of a cold? San Francisco weather is notorious for turning on one, so as you say, you would be going through some changes there. AND didn't I hear that you burned the candle at both ends last night, too? Maybe your sniffles are trying to tell you that it is a better idea to stay home and rest! After you infect all your coworkers, of course ;-)

Hi anne! I know how hard it is to try to stiffle the sniffles! It is so embarrassing! You can't really help it but you feel so self-concious! It has gotten really cold here! Today me and bf went out to get him his birthday gift and do some last minute grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. We have to walk to the stores and they're a pretty nice distance away from where we live. It was so cold! I was all bundled up in layers so when I got into the stores I was hot and then when I went outside I was freezing. The perfect way to get sick! I hope you feel better!
