Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Thom, yes I yawn a lot! And it is embarrassing. Sometimes people will say something like, " are we boring you? " and my husband will quickly answer, " no, thats part of her disease " . Then other times no one says anything and you wonder what they are thinking. Its frustrating. Even after we tell people they forget and makes some remark again. I think the card idea would be good for you to do at work. Susieq in Calif I tend to yawn a lot now, without being tired, and with O2 sats at 96% and higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yawning is an upper motor neuron symptom. I have the same problem as do others. It is often during times of being in a room with a lot of people and talking or singing (church) that it gets really bad...and embarrassing.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Yeah, Thom, use that as an excuse. I like it. Now, when I am seeing patients who ARE boring, I can yawn and give them the card.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thom, my husband yawns a lot and when he does he sorta has a strange yell or something or sound after the yawn. It gets my attention. June bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
