A Matter of Deep Concern

Sometimes when I'm cleaning my ears, it sets off a really bad coughing fit. Am I the only one who has this problem?

Really bad? No. Occasional coughing? Yes.

The entire system is connected up there. That's why there's a specialty for Ear, Nose and Throat doctors.

I'm relieved to hear that I'm not the only one. Even if my coughing is maybe a bit extreme. ;-)

I am fairly certain that there is some sort of nerve connection between ears and throat, so that may be to blame. I never got the coughing thing, but I've found that I can "scratch" an inner-ear itch by swallowing crunchy foods. Maybe you're getting the same thing, only it's irritating your throat instead.

...Now I want to try that scratching an inner ear itch thing. Did you just find that out by accident one day or what?

Yeah, pretty much. I used to get ear infections a lot, and that was one of the things that made it a little better. Moreso than scrabbling vainly at my ear canal. XD

It also does hiccups! And those earlobe orgasms!

Yet more evidence for my theory you're a ROBOT.

[identity profile] revena.livejournal.com 2008-04-16 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
What's the other evidence? That I can hold off on peeing all day?

Yes, yes you are.

I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS SPESHUL.

This also happens to me, but it's not why I'm commenting

Hello!

I just wandered onto your blog from a comment in jhkrpg's blog.
I'm a fan of Cerise.
Gamer, aspiring feminist ally, adding you as a friend so I can read what you write; I don't ever take it personally if you don't want to friend me back.

Welcome! It's always nice to hear from another feminist-leaning gamer. :-)
