I Get a Back Freeze – How About You?
We have all done it. And we have all had it happen to us. In our excitement to suck down our Slurpee we forget for one moment that torturous result of not paying attention to our slurping technique. Then it hits you. Yep… The Brain Freeze.
If you are like most people, you get a boring Brain Freeze. Otherwise known in my circle – A Headache. 🙂
Maybe it’s because I’m a lefty or maybe it’s because I’m just odd. And as you know, I’m ok with my oddness as it makes me unique. You see, me and my fellow oddballs never get brain freezes. We get something way worse. We get Back Freezes.
And what does a back freeze feel like? Glad you asked. It feels just like someone is stabbing you through your back with a knife. Then as they laugh at your pain, they twist that knife just to add extra pain.
When it hits, it makes you stand up straight, push your shoulders back and stick your chest out. (And no, the ladies are not making you guys an offer to check out their boobies)
But like you “normal boring people” the pain does subside in a minute or two and we all just go back to sucking down that Slurpee. Just like nothing happened.
Do you know other back freeze oddballs? Don’t hate. Trust me, we wish we got a Brain Headache like you.
~~~till we laugh again~~~

I get that awful feeling sometimes!!!! Also, if someone is behind me i get this weird shiver down my spine!
Shiver down your spine? Sure you’re not being stalked by a ghost? 🙂
i love it ! dont forget to hold your tongue to the roof of your mouth it blocks the brain freeze 🙂 too kool i am smiling thank
I’ve tried that trick, never works for me, I usually just cave in and let the pain twist me in all types of directions. LOL
Reblogged this on pay2bitch.
I find it amusing that once the pain from the brain freeze subsides, you just jump straight back in and take another huge mouthful.
Yep like we never experienced that pain. Lol
I get nose freeze. It hurts sooo bad but alas, I continue to slurp my Slurpee as well. This only adds to my irrational fear that my brain has shifted from the place it should reside.
Hmmm, never heard of the nose freeze. I bet you are right, the brain has shifted slightly. ;-P
I also get it in my nose! It has NEVER happened in my brain. I was wondering if this was normal. It hurts like hell
I have never heard of anyone with their nose. I bet that hurts. Especially if it feels like when you spit out milk through your nose 😀
My mother always says that my step-father’s never experienced a “brain freeze”. She thinks it’s funny to accuse him of not having a brain, but maybe he’s just a back freezer and he hasn’t told her.
Well, it might be both, no brain and he gets back freezes. LOL. Not knowing your dad that well, I’ll leave the final assessment to you. 😀
I get the “nose freeze” too. It hurts a lot, but only (usually) last a few seconds. Actually, a couple weeks ago, I was having a slurpee and it lasted way longer. Not fun at all. I wonder why some of us get it in weird places?
I like to think those that get it in weird spots are because we are unique!
I get brain freezes and I get back freezes and what really sucks is when I get both at the same time!!! Oh my goodness. I dread it, yet I never put my icees down not have I stopped drinking or eating frozen anything. They’re the best!!! I also have sinus problems always have. Bet it could be a factor….. Hmm….
You know, you might be on to something with the sinuses. Hmm
I get back freeze and then nose freeze – im just broken i think
Not broken ~~ unique! 😀
I get back freeze, all the way up and down my spine. Also, standing outside in the cold too long will do it if I tense up from shivering.
I get back and brain all at once. It hurts like hell. If i breath in deeply it doesnt last as long.
I thought I was the only one!!!
Nope, you are not alone. 🙂
I am so happy I found this thread! To find out that there is nothing wrong with me, hurra!! (=norwegian outburst for joy) I get back-freeze, and that’s ok!
Yes, you are normal like me!!! Hmm, ok, that aint too normal.. lol
It used to be that it went to the back of my neck but I’m drinking a milk shake right now. This is the first time it went to my back. It’s right behind my armpits.
I get nose freeze. And have had back freeze. Thought I was a strange one as no one I knows had either
You are part of the club! LOL
I get back freeze, all the way up and down my spine. Also, standing outside in the cold too long will do it if I tense up from shivering.
I get back freeze only, it is very painful and I do not go back to drinking whatever it was that caused the back freeze.
I get the brain freeze, back freeze, and blurred vision( maybe from the intense pain) and my friends always laugh and say im overreacting. >.> if they only knew.
Btw, I’m also a lefty 0.o
back freeze and a lefty! Yahoo!!
I get back freeze, have never experience brain freeze. Thanks for posting as I thought I was the only oddball…….by the way, I am also left handed.
I use to think I was odd but I’m finding there are tons of us! A lot of us are left handed too. How odd 🙂
never had a brainfreeze and I am right handed. had many a back freeze !!
You secretly want to be a lefty. LOL
My husband thinks I’m odd…I get both brain & back freeze, but the back freeze is the WORST! But I’m sitting in Wet Willie’s in Atlantic City right now, during Mango Rum Slushies, every now and then twisting in pain LOL…btw I’m ambidextrous
*drinking not “during”
Damn autocorrect
I used to get brain freezes then I got both brain freezes and back freezes and now I just have back freezes I think my back is tender to the cold because every time a breeze blows by I shiver and my shoulders rock
Glad I don’t do that! lol
I experienced exactly how you described a back freeze would be like for the first time tonight and I’m also a lefty, is it a coincidence?
How odd. Maybe us lefties just have to be different. LOL 🙂
I totally get back freezes!! And I’m a lefty! And I’m odd!! So much in common.
I’ve heard a few folks like this. Hmmmmm
Wow your post made me feel not so weird after all. I call them spine and sinus freezes and my kids look at me like I’m from a gas planet that hasn’t been discovered yet lol. Thanks for making me feel normal again ?
Yep, you be normal! 🙂 At least normalish…lol
