I know Im not the only one.

I cant even be arsed to name change, here goes.

Nervous fanny.

You know when someone falls - hard and cracks their chin or elbow or whatever, my stomach drops, I get a shot of anxiety that shoots through the pit of my stomach down to my fanny. Right in the middle of my fanny I get a horrible feeling of anxiety.

Its only started in the last few years, its really unpleasant. Its like a bolt of aniexty, and I ONLY get it when someone hurts themselves. Wtf is that all about?

Anyway, what weird shit does your body do? Confess.

I sneeze when I'm tired.

If I've stayed up late and am snuggling into bed usually if I'm just falling asleep I'll sneeze. Similarly, in the early mornings (for flights and things) I'll be really sneezy.

I think its like the falling feeling right before sleep and my body thinks I'm dying and is trying to wake my self up.

I get nervous/twitchy fanny when I think I have forgotten or lost something, like a feeling of 'oh crap' in my fanjo 🤔 I have to cross my legs to make it stop.

Myusernameismyusername · 26/11/2016 19:07

If I bite the inside of my mouth accidentally on the left side I get a very sharp pain in my left arm.

I have facial nerve damage but no idea how it is related to my arm

Littlelostdinosaur · 26/11/2016 18:59

Yes to

Tonsil stones (puke!)
Javelin arse - makes stand on my tiptoes purse my lips and inhale with a squeak, then I have to slowly breathe out and relax and it goes away. Sometimes doubles me over. Thought it was related to historic anal fissure.
Nervous fanny
Restless legs

Boone has mentioned these two. A shooting pain in big toenail as though someone is shoving a torture device down it. Comes and goes for an hour or so at a time then not for a while.

One of my ears sometimes "pops" and there's a high pitched squeal then everything sounds muffled and slowly returns to normal. Happens randomly!!

Yes to saliva vomit, call it my ten second warning, never missed the loo yet!

If I hold a wee too long when I finally go my jaw aches and I have to let out a big groan lol.

Belly button scratching Does something to my fanjo!

Big hiccup once after drinking a fizzy drink

Oh and also the horrid scratch throat nose thing and have to make a sound like Donald Duck to clear it. Usually after melon and with hay fever, so I guess it's an allergy thing?

Brilliant thread glad it's revived!

If anyone touches the inside of my belly button I get a massive minge twinge.

When I'm pregnant and my belly button sticks out and rubs on everything I can't cope.

Jojobythesea · 17/11/2016 19:23

I don't get the high up fanny thing. In our family all of us get something similar. We call it.... twitchy bumhole. BlushGrin

kandiipopz · 17/11/2016 19:07

When my nipples are touched, it makes me feel ill in the pit of my stomach. Anyone else hate there nips touched? I get the shooting pains up the eld lady. I get the cobra spit, and recently my ear drum has been vibrating.

kandiipopz · 17/11/2016 18:28

I get that too. If i scratch my leg, i feel it in my side, if i scratch my ankle i'll feel it in my belly. It doesn't always happen, but at least i no i'm not alone.

kandiipopz · 17/11/2016 18:14

I do that too. Can be embarrassing if ya talking to someone.

Agerbilatemycardigan · 15/11/2016 02:08

I think they're called tonsiliths Sunshine

7SunshineSeven7 · 15/11/2016 01:26

Does anyone else get tonsil stones? I've always wondered and never met anyone who has but lots of people on the internet do apparently.

headinhands · 25/09/2016 06:07

If I forget to brush my teeth at night my breath/mouth doesn't feel as rough as it does with usual nighttime brushing.

CallousAndStrange · 27/08/2016 22:06

In the film 'Labyrinth', there's a bit near the beginning where Hoggle turns around and goes 'Ahhhhh! Now THAT'S more like it!' Every time, without fail, at precisely the same moment, I get an urgent need-to-pee feeling in my fanny. Been watching the film since I was little, and it's EVERY TIME

Slightly odd, can't even begin to imagine why.

janaus · 23/08/2016 12:39

I feel the pain if I see someone on tv gets hurt

Limitededition7inch · 22/08/2016 22:42

Tingly legs - lets me know when I need a poo Blush

throughbeingcool · 22/08/2016 21:39

And yes to post bath whoosh - always thought just me until Caitlin Moran mentioned it in something funny!

throughbeingcool · 22/08/2016 21:32

I get an itch on the tip of my nose just before orgasm - every time. That's odd.

Yes to javelin arse and shot putters cervix, plus weights-in-the-labia when on period - haven't read all the pages of this but haven't come across it, anyone else?

puzzledbyadream · 22/07/2016 11:12

Cold things make me cough. I presume this is related to my nasty postnasal drip business but it's embarrassing.

Beepbopboop · 23/05/2016 00:30

And sometimes I get the sensation of water dripping down my legs. But when I look there is no water.

Beepbopboop · 23/05/2016 00:28

If my electric toothbrush runs out of battery and I have to use a manual one my teeth feel like marshmallows.
Whilst exercising sometimes I can hear/feel a ticking in my brain.
Every time I go outside I sneeze within a minute.
After drinking alcohol my teeth really really ache the next day, and after just one drink my hands/arms go numb. (Lightweight)
After sex I always hiccup. Hmm

Ohmygodareyouserious · 19/05/2016 15:18

I used to get little shooting pains in my head all the time, not painful just worrying. I went to the Doc and he said 'are they like little electric shocks? yes I said, 'that is exactly what they are like' (thankful that I was not going mad) and he said 'I have no idea what that is'??

PissOffJournalists · 06/05/2016 15:14

Reading a story out loud makes me yawn. No idea why because I manage to hold conversations perfectly well without yawning so why should reading aloud be any different? Confused

Dizzybintess · 05/05/2016 22:38

I have a nerve on my back that when massaged makes me twitch like a carp flopping about on a beach!!!

PissOffJournalists · 02/05/2016 17:35

Using an electric toothbrush makes me need a pee.
