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

I occasionally feel like I've suddenly woken up in the middle of the day, often halfway through a conversation or whilst doing something. It's difficult to describe, but I'll suddenly feel like I don't know where I am, or what I'm doing, or who the people are around me. The first time it happened was in class at secondary school and it really freaked me out. I've got used to it now and just have to reassure myself who everyone is around me and that I'm OK. After a couple of seconds I feel fine again. No idea why and I've never heard of anyone else with it.

I've thought of a couple of other things, but first of all back to javelin arse, in reply to a few suggestions on here.

I've had javelin arse since I was 15, so definitely not any kind of prolapse.

It's definitely (for me anyway) linked to ovulation, as I actually time when my period is due by it. Javelin arse day = period 2 weeks later without fail. I have tested this with ovulation prediction sticks too.

I over the years have had it so bad at times it's made me feel dizzy and faint, I actually fainted once in a supermarket on javelin arse day, and once was really embarassing at a party when I was unable to move off my chair due to the pain. Before I realised the link with ovulation, I was tested for diverticulitis, and endometriosis

It stopped at times when I have been on hormonal contraception that prevents ovulation, but then is a million times worse if I come off it and ovulation kicks back in again, so these days I have a cap instead and it's not so bad at all.

Ok the other things i thought of

Sometimes (rarely now) but particularly when i was a teen, when I was asleep I would feel like my head/skull was being crushed, like squeezed together... presumably in rem sleep, or even some kind of sleep paralysis thing for me to remember it... anyone else get that?

Also if I sit cross legged, the force of my blood pumping round my body makes me rock slightly.

I get javelin arse when on and blinking painful it is too.

DH can 'remote control' me - he found if he does face or even just starts to open his mouth wide I yawn (in fact I am yawning just thinking about it!), if he wriggles his nose I have to scratch mine as it's itchy, and he can tickle me by just pretending to tickle me (i.e. wiggling his fingers near me). He doesn't do this though as it's really not nice not being in control of your own actions

I can also tickle myself which is apparently impossible but it's a horrible feeling so I don't.

I get myoclonic jerks at times, as well as a twitchy eye and muscle spasms - I have always put it down to my epilepsy.

I used to be able to shift my knee caps so you could feel the joint underneath, my left hip has a habit of almost coming out of it's socket, my toes bend the wrong way and my thumb can touch my forearm - I have hypermobility though so none of those are really odd!

Well I just read the thread title as 'weird things your BABY does.....'

Huh.

I get repetitive phrase syndrome too. I'll either repeat words over and over in my head, whisper it, shout it if I'm on my own, or write it with my tongue inside my mouth.

I get really bad deje vu to the point I stand looking stupid/confused because I cant process why nobody else is wondering why we are replaying the action. DD2 gets it too.

I sneeze when plucking my eyebrows too, and my nose runs. Proper attractive, I look, gurning into a mirror with a snotty nose

I get the bubble in the fanjo thing. And javelin arse, stabbing in fanjo and nervous fanjo and it vibrates (and I over use the word fanjo ).

Twitchy eye and leg.

Sometimes, just as I'm falling asleep, sometimes I 'see' myself on this particular escalator in a shopping centre, and I fall down it. This jolts me awake.

Whenever DH touches me anywhere, I get goosebumps.

My stomach also flips if I throw stuff downstairs.

352 messages already, surely I'm not the only person whose top lip twitches into a sort of sneer when they swing their arms in a circle or roll their shoulders (ie at the gym, they must think I'm really sneery!)
Yy to the falling off when dropping off to sleep

VirtuousVamp and Coco's work bloke up to 1/3 of the population have this sunlight sneezing reflex. Don't know if it's hereditary but DS did it this morning too

When I have a pedicure and they get to the point of exfoliating my feet with the gritty stuff I get horrible pains in the opposite side shoulder. They are not unbearable just a horrible 'feeling'.

Love this thread!
I get itches.
If I stand at the top of a tall building, edge of a cliff or similar, the backs of my knees start to itch
If I am watching a film / tv and it's raining on the screen it makes my eyes itch

The sneezing thing is a reflex to get you to close your eyes to stop the sun damaging them. Still don't know whether or not it's a myth that it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open, and that if you managed it the pressure would make your eyeballs pop out...

YY sunlight in fact any bright light makes me sneeze, as do strong mints!! Everyone's always thought I was crazy and odd, so pleased to hear I'm not alone!!!

Yes coco I do have a retroverted uterus but the leg pain got worse and worse over the years on one side and started happening up to 10 days before my period and a a recent op revealed my pelvis on that side is also riddled with endometriosis in areas where nerves that supply the leg pass.

If I stand barefoot on a 'bristley' doormat it makes me want to pee.

I work with a bloke who if he feels a sneeze coming on looks at the sunlight. I have argued with him for years that sunlight doesnt' make you sneeze, now you prove him right .

Period pains down your legs is a sign of a tilted womb, it's pressing on nerves.

my DP uses the term "sugar-puff-piss" instead of oh my god/gosh ect. should really name change as this is so embarrassing but i really cant be arsed..
after a particularly strong orgasm, i cry! also along the same vein is anyone else here a squirter?

The itchy blister things on fingers are chilblains I get them either when it's very cold or very hot. I got them right the way up my legs once - agony! I also have the numb finger Raynauds syndrome thing, I guess they might be linked.

I've never had the Alice in Wonderland thing, but a few times I've had the feeling that the walls are shrinking and closing in around me or that the ceiling has come down really low. Very freaky.

I get period pains in my knees (not so much much since pregnancy though) and in my bum cheeks. And when I have a poo, my fingers really hurt.

I can't drink wine because it is too painful. Either staight ofter swallowing or up to about 30 seconds later I get a really intense pain in my chest, lilke it's being burned and crushed at the same time. I judge the quality of a wine by how long it takes for the pain come!

Sometimes I get random words and sentences popping into my head as I'm drifting off to sleep. It's completely involuntary although I can consciously repeat them to myself. It's quite entertaining. They're grammatically correct, but completely nonsensical!

I also have the precordial catch syndrome - nice to know the name of that, thanks!

Wicketypitch I get exactly the same migraine aura as you. You've described it perfectly. It's just after that that the pain starts!

Tasteslikepanda I've had the Alice in wonderland thing since I was little. Never smoked weed though, but I do get migraines. I've always found it a nice feeling, just as I'm falling asleep.

All my joints click.

I get period pain down my legs as well as around my hips.

I can still see light and dark with my eyes shut. I must have thin eyelids, as I wear an eye mask in bed as the daylight in the morning hurts my eyes.

When something nearly happens, such as I nearly fall, or hurt myself, I get a painful burning feeling inside my nose.

If someone sings badly, I get goose bumps all the way up the sides of my face.

Hervana there was a girl on embarassing bodies that had those white bits at the back of her throat think they were called tonsil stones.

I get alot of these things especially nervous fanny it only started after dd was born. I also get tears in my eyes about everything she's 3.5 you'd think the hormones would have settled down

When I eat chinese food I get a funny tingling sensation in my jaw the first time it happened I thought I was going into anaphalactic(sp) shock. I'm assuming its a reaction to MSG.

I get the nervous fanny! Someone once described it as an evil orgasm and I thought that summed it up perfectly

I get white fingers whilst driving, and if I scratch the side of my foot and get a tingling feeling in my toes
