Weird things your body does, and you wonder if it happens to others too?

I get that too mind I always remember to let it out before I step out, I just stand in bath with legs open and use my pelvic floors to push it out. a bit like a forset fire plane .

If you are getting "absences," Gnab, however mild, which it seems as if you are from your description, you should see a Doctor.

I have restless legs which get worse in pregnancy. Horrid.

I also have something wrong with my hands. I "drop" occasionally throw stuff down involuntariy. The doctors are baffled by it a they can't Find anything wrong during testing. It's really embarrassing when a fork clatters into a glass of water in a busy restaurant. I also can't stand holding anything cold for more than about 30 seconds.

They will possibly do an MRI scan on you if you go to the doctors about it which can be scary in itself but they are the best way to tell what is going on in your head.
l might have one as would love to know what goes on in my head sometimes

We could go together

So glad to see there's a technical and medically recognised name for the sharp pain up the bum. Javelin arse. I shall have to remember that.

Also v glad to see that fanjo air bubbles are quite common.

I get a knot in the muscles in my jaw if I yawn too widely and get really scared in case it locks and I can never close my mouth again. Like Kristin Stewart.

applause makes me cry too! feel so overwhelmed with pride for the people being clapped and it's too much. Olympics will be...emotional...

Thank you mind :) It is definitely mild- I only get it a couple of times a year with no other symptoms so nothing too serious. Interesting to know what it is though, I've always just assumed it was my brain being a bit strange every now and again!

If I pinch or scratch one part of my body, I feel a zing somewhere else!

You reminded me of another 'condition' of mine. I wee involuntarily when l get out of the bath. Yet l always go for a wee before l get in. But its clear and more like some of the bath water has been drawn up [bucket fanny ?] and is just running back out of me. Most annoying if l have got dressed and suddenly 'whoosh' and have got to change again.
DH (a builder) always says my fanjo non return valve must be faulty.

If I do washing up with no gloves on, my scalp itches.

Really Balloon?

Does anyone else get sticky lung? Sometimes when I inhale it feels like my lung has got caught on the inside of my ribs and I can't breathe in. It's like a stabbing pain, I have to fully exhale then breathe in really slowly and it goes back to normal

my eyes water when I have a wee. rthey always have since I can remember. My siblings and friends have found this highly amusing through out my childhood and teenage years.

Yes but even if it is could be a very mild form so dont worry too much as others have said - may not even need medicating, but at least you can be checked out properly in the process to put your mind at rest.

I 'type' phrases over and over again in my mind, dividing the letters into equal batches. I do it until I've divided the phrase by 3, 4, 5 and sometimes 7. It's hard to explain but I've been doing it since I learnt to touch type 25 years ago.

If someone tells a spooky story - it has to be a ghost story, not something horrific - my eyes start to water massively. My sisters are the same.

Yes I thought epilepsy, also when cocolepew said about the massively strong deja vu, that can be an epileptic symptom too.

Mind I've just looked it up and that looks like it might be it. Thank you, I'd never heard of mini mal seizures before.

SoftKittyWarmKitty thanks for that Wikipedia link. I've had the heart popping thing too. It is exactly how you described it.

Also had nervous fanny/evil orgasms and nerve popping over skull pain

When my wee smells of sugar puffs I know I'm pregnant.

When I do pelvic floor exercises my eyebrows raise involuntarily. This is why I never do them walking down the street.

And if I imagine cutting my finger with a sharp knife I can smell and taste burning.

Oh I thought of another one, sex related.

When I think about some particularly good sex that has happened, especially if very recent, I get a feeling like a mini orgasm. Goes right through my body, just really quickly, like lightning.

I call them aftershocks, wonder if anyone else gets that?

Quite perturbing when your mind wanders while queueing in tesco and all of a sudden THAT happens!

Has anyone mentioned tingling on the soles of the feet when looking down at an immense drop?

From time to time I get this sudden hot feeling down one of my inner thighs. I think it must be a vein throbbing. I got it a lot when pregnant. I used to think I had pissed myself. But I never had.

GnabGib Could that be sort of a 'mini mal' as opposed to 'grand mal' in epilepsy. Only my brother has severe epilepsy and has had several 'grands' but occasionally does what you describe and the doctor told him these were also( albeit very minor) epilepsy episodes.

Panda and OP, I am so delighted to find more giant dreamers! I got this sensation loads as a child; like my head had swelled up to mahoosive proportions, but could sort of be squeezed between 2 giant fingers.... sounds scary, but bizarrely I found it sort of comforting! When I (occasionally) get the same sensation now, it takes me back to my childhood.

i also get fanjo-shiver at heights / generally scary things, and twitchy tired eyelid, and occasionally lip-twitch (imagine an Elvis like curl of top lip)

When I have my period it feels like someone has whacked my undercarriage with a cricket bat. Oh, and I've some strange head bumps, but mostly on the RH side...
