Why am I sneezing so much???

My last hydro dose was Saturday.. I'm on track and feel pretty good. I can finely sorta sleep and the chills and sweats have lessened somewhat. My nose keeps running and I sneeze a couple times an hour. Why? Was I numbing my sinus' with the pills?
Also.. my face looks shiny all day. I'm sure it's all the toxins slowly creaping out of my body, just curious if anyone else has the same..
My co-workers think I am getting sick and are staying away from me.. little do they know I'm just trying to get off drugs... which I dare don't tell them.
Thanks,
Cari

my dog comes to me scared whenever he hears  me sneezing ( he is not used to ..) with his eyes open like plates lol.

Wow this is interesting i have never in my life sneezed less than 4 times in a row ..
and the attacks Ive had getting clean about give me a hemorrhage lmaoo
and my face looks like I'm a grease ball hmmm Just part of the process of grieving off this **** i guess.

I actually, while scrolling through this post, was delayed by my 18th violent sneezing attack so far today. Mine are stemming more from the cocaine I'm finally coming down from, I believe, but I understand the frustration and am totally there on your side.
Good luck doll.

Sneezing is something I did A LOT!  It finally subsided the last couple of days (day 11 will be complete in 2 hrs, 5 minutes, 10 seconds).  I think I only sneezed 3 times today.  

My sneezes always come in clusters of three....

I've never got rid of the sneezing on any of my detox tries. The longest I went was 24 days, and I still sneezed. It resolves and gets better with time.

It's actually a blessing to be sneezing all the time. It makes it so much easier for people to believe you have the flu. LOL  Which most of us have used as our cover for detox. I guess the greasy face is part of it too. My sister who is also getting clean has had a problem with that. You are doing great! Keep it up.

the sneezing is just part of it.  along with the runny nose.  i don't know why.  i went thru that about a week ago.  it is one of the shortest lived symptoms of withdrawal.  i have been off hydros since the 11th, and it is much better now.  hang in there.
