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

Back to lowering the tone. I was in the shower one morning and realised that something around my bikini line hurt. When I finished the shower I put my glasses on and realised it was a huge, angry spot that had emerged overnight. Gently squeezed, pus hit the far side of the bath and it was instantly better.

My daughter too. She invited me to look. It was astounding!

Surviving 2 comas 🤣

I nominate this thread for classics

Planned home birth, third and last child. Delivered him on my living room floor after five hours of labour. Well actually I didn't need to do anything, my amazing body just expelled him. I didn't even push, I was kneeling, he just slid out so fast and I instinctively reached down and caught him. It was amazing. I was on cloud nine for days afterwards.

I do!! Can't really get to sleep without an ASMR video. Interesting.

😂

I do this too! Do you enjoy ASMR stuff too? I have a theory that it's all linked.

Yes!!! The opening song to The Lion King musical made me cry.
Choirs and hymns always give me goosebumps too.

I react the same way to music. I watched a video of a moari group singing a song in their own language this morning and within seconds I was crying despite not having a clue what they were singing about. It was just so emotional.

I am always amazed at the affect some pieces of music/songs can have on me. How can just the sound of something have such a physical effect? It is an intense feeling that seems to start from the bottom of my back and washes over me like waves of goosepimples and chills, making all my hairs stand up on end...it can last up to 30 seconds and is incredible.

I also wonder if this is connected with how easily I cry at performances, plays, gigs, award ceremonies, choirs etc...these are not sad things, but I will well up with tears 9 times out of 10.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When i was teenager I had this massive under the skin spot for weeks. One day I popped it infront of the mirror and it made a loud double popping sound and then landed satisfyingly on the mirror. I still remember the relief

It's either a poo or a cyst/ingrown hair thing 😂😂😂 I've had poos that I've had to breathe through like giving birth! Feeling the head crowning and knowing it's nearly over 😂😂😂

Last week I had one of those camera endoscopy to look for bowel cancer and other issues. Had to eat the crappiest unhealthy diet 5 days before so there's no fibre in the bowel. Then fast for 24 hours while also drinking the vile prep stuff that's meant to act like an enema but different hole. Was pooing water by the end of it. Swallows the camera in the morning went home praying it would come out before tea time as I was absolutely starving and still couldn't eat! Went to the loo just after 5 and when I looked down the little dude had popped out and was flashing his heart out in the loo. Was so so so happy that I could eat and have a decent cup of tea. Best news was that after the hospital had reviewed the footage (all 7 hours of it) they found no malignancy or even any other inflammation. Apparently I have huge internal piles which caused the bleeding 😂😂😂

This thread is amazing. I keep coming back to it.

Another one I had was when I had a nose bleed, so I did the usual head down and pinched nose thing.
I ended up with the most glorious clot in my nose. It was like a very firm jelly, and when I pulled it out, my nostril felt cold. It was about 4 inches long.

I've had a blocked ear for days. The was was hard and impacted but this morning after pouring a load of olive oil in last night it's just unblocked and it's bliss.

When I was a teenager I had a massive blackhead on the side of my nose. Came out like a large lump and left an actual hole. When I went downstairs my mum asked if I’d had my nose pierced and wouldn’t believe me when I told her it was a blackhead. Must have been more than 27 years ago and I’ve wished for another like it but no luck

You needed my DH there with his trusty loo brush to chop it up.

When my eardrum perforated. Ok it hurt and being deaf for weeks afterwards was shit, but the relief of it bursting after I’d been full of cold and pressure in my head for days was wonderful. And the gunk that came out was very satisfying

After having had a “rattling” nostril for a few days I finally blew out a mucus plug. It was instant relief but literally looked like I’d blown part of my brain out.

Eh?!? Have literally never done this

Had a massive spot on the side of my head, so painful and when it was finally ready to squeeze it was amazing! Splattered the mirror and the instant relief! Never gad another that lived up to it.

Then after giving birth I hadn't pooped for days, was so bloated and uncomfortable. I was sat on a table just chatting to my sil and she made me laugh, with the laugh came a massive fart which loosened something and I did the best poo of my life. Sil was equally amused and horrified 😂

A day spent in and near the loo after being constipated for two weeks after my section with DS it took all day, 17 years ago but I still remember it all clearly

I was once badly constipated for about a week. Spent days taking laxatives before they kicked in, and that was the most satisfying poo I've ever done in my life. I could have cried with the relief.

I also have a lot of bone and joint issues, and the early morning cracking of joints is awesome.

Would someone please share why you get constipated when you give birth?

A recent one for me was going into a sauna and steam room having recently had a cold (and being over it). I felt a rattling feeling in my nose and throat, and had to excuse myself to blow my nose in the toilets.

What came out made me laugh, it was so intense and there was so much of it, and I felt EPICALLY clear afterwards.
