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.

My eyelids sometimes feel paralysed, in that I cant open them when I wake up.
I wonder if this is a 'dry eye' type thing.

Does anyone else have to run to the loo soon after entering a bookshop or library?Blush

"DH sometimes has sugar puffs wee, even though he doesnt eat them"

DH sometimes has sugar puffs wee, even though he doesnt eat them.

bogeyface · 20/07/2012 00:06

I can do cobra spit on purpose, it goes really far, up to about 2 metres sometimes!

I realise it is totally disgusting but I was quite the playground star as a kid :o

You sort of push your tongue into the bottom of your mouth and flex the muscle as you do it!

also get a nasty twinge inside my brain like someone has tied it to some fishing line and is yanking it - very severe - had it years - get it about once every 3 months for several seconds.

SrirachaGirl · 20/07/2012 00:04

I get the neck-shock-nerve thing that MadamFolly described at the beginning of the thread. Have never spoken out loud about it because I thought it was just me.

Also, I get real tingles/prickles on the back of my neck when I hear a particularly moving piece of music. If I had fur, it would stand up.

recall · 20/07/2012 00:02

I am very freaked out by alice in wonderland syndrome, I thought i was the only person in the whole world to experience this and have never been able to articulate it Shock

If I get into a bath that is too hot, I bare down like when you have a poo or are pushing in labour, and it is sort of involuntary

is knitting needle up the arse syndrome the same as javelin up the arse ? I've had that for years, especially when I'm on.

Very smelly stale poos when on too

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 20/07/2012 00:02

Oooh, think I just found out what my heart popping thing is!

MildredIsMyAlterEgo · 20/07/2012 00:00

Certain voices (particularly Brian Sewell's Shock ) make the back of my neck go tingly

garlicbutter · 19/07/2012 23:58

This utterly, utterly brilliant thread has reminded me about sleep orgasms ... it's been so long since I had one, I'd forgotten about them :( Could be the best reason I've thought of to start coming off the antidepressants!

I do have flying dreams nearly every night, though. Obv not a weird physical/neurological thing, just dreams. Cheers me up (but not as much as an orgasm ...)

kissyfur · 19/07/2012 23:57

Wicketypitch - I used to get that too! I thought that was the Alice thing to begin with.
And bassace that's a sacral dimple I think! My dd has one, don't know if touching it makes her wee tho!!

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 23:56

sorry missed link, tired eyes didnt notice the blue highlite, will read link as I get an electric shock thing, but it seems long lasting and goes through my whole body. but gp has always said it was propably anxiety as I suffer from sleep peralysis aswell from time to time.

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 19/07/2012 23:53

No, not had either investigated but the EHS is an actual condition - see my link above. There's no treatment and it's just one of those things. Over the past three years I've been under consultant care for a kidney condition, and they've done so many tests and checks I expect anything else would have been picked up.

HazeltheMcWitch · 19/07/2012 23:53

Right, I have:

iceandsliceplease · 19/07/2012 23:53

moajab I don't drink fizzy drinks on their own, but I do as mixers and sometimes I get an absolutely agonising ache in my left shoulder blade during a session when I've had a single G&T. Never connected it with fizzy drinks before, so thank you Smile

TheWombat · 19/07/2012 23:53

Yy to:

Javelin arse, nervous fanjo, twitchy cervix, sleep orgasms, post bath whooshes, fluttery eyelid, Alice in Wonderland, exploding head, and also:

When I look down from a height, the soles of my feet get nervous. Like butterflies in my stomach, but on the bottom of my feet Confused.

I'm a complete freak!

MildredIsMyAlterEgo · 19/07/2012 23:52

yy to vag bubble and post bath woosh

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 23:48

softkitty have you had this investigated,you may have a heart condition or epilepsy

recall · 19/07/2012 23:46

right thumb nail turns blue in the shower

weirdy itchy on right shoulder blade, feels like a caterpillar is crawling on it, and gets intense when I am breast feeding Confused

sometimes if i get something stinging my eyes, my jaw has a spasm

I get the nervous fanny feeling but in my teeth

Mindyourownbusiness · 19/07/2012 23:46

Oh l see at least one of my 'conditions' has got a name .

'Javelin arse' Grin. Is there a support group ?

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:43

Sometimes I forget how to swallow.

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:42

I was thinking that about the pressure points it could be really dangerous. It's like Spocks Vulcan Grip.

The underside of my chin itches for hours after I've eaten tomato soup.
