Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 I am well acquanted with YAWNING. For years I have suffered from aching eyes and in the last 17 & 1/2 years EXTREME facial pressure. All I can do is YAWN when I'm like that. Extremely spacey and out to lunch. Bump into things, drop things. Notice barometric pressure changes (ever so slight) and elevation changes. Do you have notice any facial pressure with it? Very frustrating to say the least.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 , I too don't yawn much but then again, I never really did. I notice if I'm tired from actual exhaustion and exertion, I will yawn. But for the most part, no yawning for me either. Houston, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I get yawning fits, and usually feel embarrassed, because I'm not wanting to look bored, and I'm not bored at all. When I notice it, I tell people it's the darn Still's. All of my friends know I've never been a dynamo of energy and I think all of them accept that in me, especially my family is good now, as only mom used to mention how sick I was as a baby, but now the whole family remembers and knows. I have absolutely no trouble at all being sick anymore, save that I would like to log some forests. Wait, the forests would prefer I sit on my butt as I do! Yup, I have yawning sprees. 123Authors Al Gore: 'The Assault on Reason' in America' There's a crack in our democracy and it has to be fixed. The biggest miscarriage in the history of the US.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi and thanks for responding. I have often wondered about dopamine...have fibromyalgia and a few other related issues...and dopamine is supposed to be an issue...but have read some scarey stuff about it..is there an inexpensive test? My husband just found out that he has some heart issues and lost a bunch of money on a job again...so money is squeaky tight. Have a daughter doing this too.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I really have no idea. Just sitting here thinking about this...yawning is an act of empathy, right? You know how people with autism are generally non-empathetic? Maybe not having empathy and having too much empathy are two sides of the same coin having to do with dopamine? Odd thought, but I have had the same thoughts about obsessive compulsive disorder being the opposite of having irrational fear. My son has actually flip flopped between being extremely obsessed with water to being very fearful of it. I assume there has to be a balance in order to normalize the symptoms. Maybe that is good reason for you to do some more research on what natural things affect dopamine receptors and perhaps do some trial and error to see if you can get anywhere with the symptoms. > > > > > > Does anyone know what causes excessive yawning....like 30 or more in the course of a few minutes...less than 5??

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Is it you that is yawning or a " family member " ? Could be a sensory dysfunction related to visual input.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis do cause fatigue, but yawning as a sole symptom is doubtful. Here are a few links to help: http://www.medhelp.org/adamcontent/yawning-excessive http://www.howstuffworks.com/question572.htm (it has a page 2) If you are yawning *that* much, then I would suggest getting some labwork done to test your level of carbon dioxide. > > > > > > Does anyone know what causes excessive yawning....like 30 or more in the course of a few minutes...less than 5??

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I yawn a lot (not as much as your family member, Ronni), to the point that clients ask if I get enough sleep. I suspect poor oxygenation. The doctor's office ran a test (oximeter on my finger, then had me walk fast laps around the halls of the clinic and repeated the oximeter) and seemed to think that wasn't the case but I'm not convinced. I also get short of breath when exercising. I also know that I don't breathe deeply enough. S S Re: yawning Posted by: " Mum231ASD@...

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks for posting. I guess the next question is how do we increase the oxygenation in our bodies. I take TOCOQ10 and hawtorn to help but evidently not enough. Thanks Ronni > > I yawn a lot (not as much as your family member, Ronni), to the point that clients ask if I get enough sleep.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I am new to this group, but I had to pipe in about the exact opposite. My daughter doesn't yawn. We did three rounds of IV chelation, but are switching to oral, and since then she half yawns. Any thoughts?? Kristi ________________________________ From: ronnimike <HISSPECIALTOUCH@...> Sent: Sun, April 18, 2010 9:49:49 PM Subject: [ ] Re: yawning  Thanks for posting.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Oxygenation is an issue for most our kids. To increase my son's general coordination and oxygen/blood flow to the brain, I make him walk at a brisk speed or even run on the treadmill 8-10 mins/day (he is 5 yo.... I have been doing this for 4 mos now and one can see, that after his " workout " he is not only calmed and drained that excessive energy, sleeps better, but also that he has better fine motor skills! Coincidence? I don't think so. Exercise is a plus for everyone, pls do advice your relative to exercise even if it is only 10mins, I believe the yawning episodes will lessen alone from increased oxygen intake and endorphine production.
