To ask you what's the most satisfying thing your body has done?

Last week actually, I was in absolute agony from a terrible migraine. Couldn't move my head or eyes, pain travelling down my neck and even hurt to blink. After a couple of hours of this I was making deals with God to come and take me out because death would be preferable when I did the most incredible bout of projectile vomiting and migraine instantly cleared.

@Helloyouok left.. all on the left..

Wow thats strange... Left or right shoulder???

Yes, fine spray but can project a surprisingly long distance. I've not had one for about 5 years. I believe I'm due one in the next couple years.

Or I could just follow the Wiki tutorial on how to do it on demand

I’m prone to a dust allergy thing that gives me itchy, watery eyes. Sometimes this causes a tiny bit of white mucus to appear in my eye just at the tear duct. Like a millimetre long.

What said mucus is made of I do not know, but it is so ridiculously stretchy that I can grab it between my nails and pull it a good 6-8 inches out of my eye without it breaking. It’s become quite a party trick of mine, much to DH’s horror 😀

I’ve had both hips replaced and bounced back. First one was when I was 49.
The surgeon literally opened me up dislocated my hip, sawed it off, rammed a stem with ball into my femur and sewed me back up. Same day I was able to walk to the toilet us using a zimmer frame.
12 weeks later I was riding my horse.
To this day I’m so grateful, osteoarthritis was ruining my life and I was struggling to walk

You're a strong woman.Thats admirable, slightly worrying, but very respectably hard as nails.

Omg! Me, my mum and one of my daughters all have this in almost the same place... weird!

One morning I realised that I couldn’t move my nostril at all , I thought I was still breathing ok , but after extracting a huge huge bogie I could suddenly breath again- it was such a relief

and also some sort of abscess in my mouth, horrific pain, nothing touched it at all . Booked in for an emergency dentist appointment two weeks later. I read in an old body book that hot water on a cloth was good for bring boils and such to a head , so I put some nearly boiling water on a towel and bit down on it . It helped absolutely nothing, and I was so frustrated and in so much pain I bit down on this towel as hard as I could, and suddenly it popped and my mouth filled with puss - but the absolute relief was incredible.

luckily by the time I got to the dentist whatever was there was apparently healing nicely

I've suffered for years with gynae issues.

One month I was struggling with a lot of pain during my period, much more painful than usual. This had gone on all day. In the evening I popped to the loo, felt I needed to push and the biggest blood clot fell out of me. I was the size of the palm of my hand and passing it had that sweet relief feeling you get when you have that last push and your baby slides out of you.

It wasn't until years later that I discovered I actually have endometriosis which explains the horrendous periods.

@violetcuriosity your tale of amazing bodily happenings, gave me a proper dopamine hit 😂. This thread is wild.

This is hysterical 😂

I'm picturing your family running about like headless chickens

I remember being very pregnant and I had a boil at the very top of my leg

I waddled/limped best I could home,sat on the bathroom floor,propped a mirror on my feet to hold it still and peered over my huge bump

It was that big it had two juicy heads,so I figured I'd burst one and then the other as I couldn't get in with my fingers-i was too fat,it was too painful and massive-the skin was really tight round it

I popped the slightly bigger one-the relief,blessed relief-and while mopping up (what felt like a pint of pus) I went in for the other

Thankfully it had gone-it must have been one boil with two heads

Dp once had this blackhead on his back

It was really juicy but the sod refused to let me anywhere near it

I finally got him to agree and I squeezed

At least 4 inches came out of his back-it left a whopping huge hole in his skin-so I squeezed again and at least another 2 inches came out before it closed up

Was well worth the telling off I got from his mum who kept going on about spreading germs and making it worse (I adore her but she thinks dp farts rainbows and sparkles-its like being bollocked by winnie the pooh)

When you're older, you can do the sneeze, fart and wet yourself combo with no effort at all. And maybe put your back out too as a bonus.

Pretty gross so don't read this if you're squeamish.

I got pelvic inflammatory disease from an old copper coil. I was supposed to have had it out ages ago, but couldn't get an appointment. It ended up causing this massive infection. I was very close to going into sepsis and ended up in hospital.

I was at the point of trying to pull it out myself because the pain was significantly worse than childbirth. Then the doctor called me through to remove it. She asked if I wanted to see it. I did. It was covered in black gunge. 🤮 I've never been so relieved to have something out of me.

I had a ganglion on the back of my hand bigger than a pea so very noticeable if not particularly painful. I'd read that twatting it with a dictionary could make them go away and so that's what I did and it did! So satisfying to have instant flat hand again.

I also used to love having my ears syringed. Like having your brain washed.

Make it necessary to decorate a nursery room and buy a pram when we'd been told it was mathematically close to impossible that we would conceive without medical intervention

I used to say giving birth to DC1 was like constipation and birthing DC2 was like having diarrhoea. First one was a huge effort; second one I had no control over whatsoever!

Yes!!!!! I've mentioned this to a few people who didn't get what I meant...but one of my brothers also has it every so often. It's a really fine spray isn't it?!

I love this thread.
I used to have cyclic vomiting syndrome where you vomit uncontrollably on a regular basis for (in my case) up to 20 hours. Once I was in the midst of an episode and heard a clink as I threw up for the umpteenth time that day. On investigation it was a bronchial cast where phlegm has set hard in your lungs and all the retching had finally expelled it. Truly the only highlight of a miserable condition

Something black came out of mine when I was pregnant and my bump stretched my belly button flat and I dug something out of it. I thought it was maybe a bit of my original umbilical cord.

The lol - a big ingrown hair on my pubic region followed by squeezing some pus out - so satisfying. Haven’t done the sneeze/burp/fart combo but I can dream 😁

This for me, but it was 13 days post partum and needed an enema. The relief was like nothing I could ever describe or ever forget!

When I was a teenager I could feel something in my ear bothering me but didn’t think too much about it. One day I was feeling my ear and felt something like a little string hanging on the outside of my ear canal. I pulled it and out came with it a HUGE chunk of ear wax - I can’t describe the immediate weird feeling of relief and how LOUD everything sounded. It was probably about a cm round and in the shape of my ear hole. I was staring at it in the palm of my hand for ages 😂

I had moved to Spain with my family a few months previous and I think it must have been something to do with being in and out of pools, the sea and the sand etc. Anyway I still think about it now and how satisfying it felt. My two first PPP’s (post partum poos) have not come close 😆

I had the hair in the tear duct, had trimmed my fringe before going to work, I was begging everyone in the pub for tweezers(or I was going to the eye a&e) and finally managed to pull it out followed by tears squirting out.
Another poo one, before being diagnosed with coeliac I had the most violent shits(sorry) I’m glad it’s sorted now but the poo basically pissing out like a tap, was incredible if awful.
