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

I get something called Exploding Head Syndrome, which has to be the greatest name for a condition ever. It usually happens as I'm falling asleep and suddenly I'll hear this noise in my head like an electrical charge or electrical buzzing but I'll also feel the electrical current going through my head. At the same time I can 'see' (not literally, as my eyes are closed) a flash of light that looks like 'white noise' on a TV screen. This all happens simultaneously in a matter of a second or two and it's highly unpleasant and wakes me up. I've only had it happen in the daytime once, last winter, but it was awful. I was at work and kept getting the buzzing feeling/noise in my head, and it was making me feel really headachy and ill. By the next day I'd come down with flu, so my body was clearly sickening for something that time.

I also get a weird thing in my heart area. I'll be breathing normally then suddenly I'll feel a sharp pain around my heart, which gets worse the deeper I breathe in. As I'm breathing, the pain is so bad that I breathe as shallowly as I can which means I then start to feel weak and faint because I'm not breathing properly. The only way to get rid of the sharp pain is to take a really deep breath in which is agony, but I force myself to do it because upon breathing in as deep as I can, I feel a pop in my chest near my heart and I can breathe normally again without pain. I googled it once, years ago, and apparently it's some sort of muscle spasm. Funnily enough, as I've been writing this I've realised I haven't had this in ages, which roughly coincides with me taking blood pressure medication, so not sure if it's connected in some way.

It is all I can do not to fanny fart when I'm doing sit-ups. And it's not that I have a bucket clunge as it used to happen when I was a virginal 14 year old and went to the aerobics class in the village hall!

oh yes and both times I was pregnant with the DCs I knew within about a week of ovulation because I had a vibrating sensation in my abdomen - like I had a mobile phone on vibrate in my uterus . Lasted about two weeks and then those feelings got overtaken by all the other freakin weird things that happen in pregnancy anyway.

Bollocks, I was just about to congratulate your phone on what it did to your fanny and thigh

fanny not Danny :)

l get a similiar thing to nervous fanny but a horrible sort of tensing in my bottom when really stressed. Very painful and feels as if something has been shoved up not that l know what that feels like you understand . But it's horrible like a spasm or gripping pain.
DH says they should name it after me as l am a pain in the arse myself .

I also get restless legs syndrome mainly at night when l'm in bed and it keeps me awake for hours - really weird - it's like you dont know what to do with your legs - like the feeling you get when youve been sitting on the floor for example and they've gone numb and the feelings just coming back.

I also get [walking medical dictionary] terrible itchy shins - again when lying in bed at night. And l mean really eye watering itchy aswell. I just want to claw at my shins. It's like hundreds of fleas are crawling on them. Weird and again bloody well keeps me from getting to sleep for hours sometimes - the more you scratch them (and l'd defy anyone not to) the more they itch.

Apart from all that l'm fine

nervous fanny yes! it first started when I was little on a Sunday night when I remembered I hadnt done my homework naughty me--
when I do my pelvic floor exercises very rarely it hurts my right arm is my Danny and arm connected?? Trying to remember the song from being young - and the thirty boned connect the leg bone,and the fanny bones connected to the arm bone :)

Panda/fluff etc I used to get that feeling as a teenager! Can't believe there is a name for it!!

Also if I poke my finger right into my belly button I get a weird feeling inside my fanny at the top, like it's connected or something?!? Don't get it when I'm pregnant tho, weird!

shh, tell DH to go easy Pressure Points (sorry for strange martial arts website, was the first one I found)

I've just googled Alice In Wonderland syndrome - I didn't realise that's what it was when I was a child. I used to be terrified at night because I thought I was shrinking/swelling up :(

I also get the moving itches.

I can't clean my ears without coughing or choking.

I sometimes get a tight feeling across my scalp as if my head is shrinking and then my eyebrows raise up on their own.

yy to javelin arse

i used to get the finger blisters a lot as a young child, but I have probably only had them 3 or 4 times as an adult.

A weird one I have - which I think is also allergy related - is that strong cheese gives me a weird tingly feeling in my cheeks just below my eyes. I had never heard of anyone else having this (I remember telling my mum when I was little and she was like this ) til a few weeks ago when DS1 was eating some Cathedral City and said his cheeks felt funny!

A few days after I've been really stressed one of my eyelids twitches massively for a week or so.

Whenever I crouch down, my knees click really, really loudly with a grinding crunching sound. It started when I was 15.

If I'm surprised or see or feel like I/someone else had a near miss from a nasty accident, my armpits sting momentarily.

Sometimes if I'm really hungry and I grab a biscuit/cracker/something small to eat, my mouth oversalivates and it stings at the back of my mouth.

I have so many of these - so nice to know I'm normal or that I'm in good company of fellow freaks
Does anyone else get a pain in their shoulder after drinking coke or other fizzy drinks?

I had concussion and told the Dr my ear was leaking. He completely freaked until DH told him I always get it. Poor man thought it was brain fluid.

coco at "Incoming"

Its great when you have a fanny fart the first time you have sex with somebody Tells what sort if bloke/woman they are from their reaction. First time it happened to me DH yelled "Incoming" and ducked.

Oh yes I get the wet ears thing as well. And I get twitchy eyes when I'm sleepy. If I open my mouth really wide my jaw dislocates.

Oh my weirdest one, which I haven't had for a while, is what I call "cross over". It feels like the bones inside my foot are overlapping and hurts like hell.

Ooh i get wet ears too.

yes finger things are possibly herpes, whitlow (sp?) are herpes too

I have a small dimple at the top of my bum crack. Touching it makes me wee. Even if I've just been.

Very useful to know for those last minute midwife appts when you forgot a sample. Bloody inconvenient the rest of the time.

Oh I have the recurring fever dream thing too. Always the same from being a child and I know I am going to wake up sick if I have that dream.

madbanners i was just skim reading before adding 'tingly teeth' to the thread. Mine do this too when i finally get to the loo.

I'm just going to read about swelling tongues to see if its the same as i get.

I love this it makes me feel normal :)
