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.

Exactly Grin

Pain shooting up your vag is probably a slight prolapse.

I get a 'bubble' that comes out of my vagina and travels up the front of my bits,it pops around the clit. IYSWIMConfused

I do really loud hiccups but only ever do 6 at a time.

TeaDr1nker · 19/07/2012 22:58

I get those blister things as well on my hands. Also I am sure I can feel the tiny hairs in my ears moving when someone is walking into a room, this ear thing usually happens in my house when it is quiet and then DP or DC come into the room. V odd

well, there were teeth marks on the radiator too....

My belly button has a direct line to my fanjo - if I poke my belly button I get a stabbing pain in my fanjo, not nice and can make cleaning it difficult.

My nose rarely runs with bogeys coming out of my nose... they all drip down my throat and I have to spit it out. yes it is gross but I try to do polite sweeps of my mouth with a tissue rather than hawking and gobbing.

Stannwigg · 19/07/2012 22:57

OMG, just googled Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I had that so frequently as a child (especially when I was ill with a temperature) - I can't believe it's actually real and exists. Have had it very infrequently as an adult, it's so unpleasant - but just absolutely gobsmacked to find I'm not the only one. Amazing.

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 22:57

Wince? Wince? That hardly describes the pain that is javelin arse tox

LittleWaveyLines · 19/07/2012 22:56

I've been wanting to ask this one for ages!

If I rub my eyes (in the dark or I can't see it) - I see a bright spot on the opposite side of the eyeball that I am pressing.... PLEASE someone else get this?

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 22:56

i also get the shrinking feeling in bed, like the alice in wonderland thing. and the falling feeling just as about to fall asleep that wakes me up

OpheliaBumps · 19/07/2012 22:56

Ooh I get the growing enormous thing too, especially my fingers, and it's particularly intense if I ever have a fever.

I also get javelin arse and warm wet ear - a sensation like warm water flowing over my head and out of my ear. It manages to be disturbing and comforting at the same time, very odd.

TastesLikePanda · 19/07/2012 22:55

Interesting, but not much applied to me.... I've only had one or two migraines in my life, but I do have a huge general lack of coordination...

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 22:54

ah well, since geoff's trapped wind explanation, i wld like to register myself as a javelin arse sufferer after giving birth, and it was trapped wind. certainly made me wince

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 22:54

oooh, enthusiastictroll, did you do anything to cause the wax to come out? I have it at the moment and have an appointment to have my ears syringed next week. It's really annoying me.

Signet2012 · 19/07/2012 22:53

Oh and if I am unwell or over tired, I get really cold knees. Really cold. Only way to sort it is a really hot bath and to put bed socks on. My dad and my cousin have exactly the same problem

Stannwigg · 19/07/2012 22:52

troll the head/shit thing is the funniest thing I have EVER read. Just brilliant.

Christ, we're a bunch of freaks, aren't we?! :)

CarlaBruni · 19/07/2012 22:52

Oh, I get those time blisters around period time - but on my top lip. Thanks.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 22:52

my ear expeled a massive hard lump of wax about the size of a marble, my actual ear canal contracted and the pain was so immense It had me on the floor and then I caught the ball of wax in my hand.

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 22:51

I need more javelin arse facts to compile. I can categorically state that there has been no trapped wind associated with my javelin arse, not Geoff. Could understand where it came from if that was the case.

Signet2012 · 19/07/2012 22:51

I get an urgent itch, you know the type that makes you jump and when I scratch it, it makes somewhere else on my body tingle.

I also can scratch my back myself and it makes behind my knee itch.

If I bang my elbow it makes me sneeze.

My sternum (sp?) pops everytime I stretch.

If I put my left arm in a jumper first I get immediate pins and needles in my fingers, If I put my right arm in first and then my left it does not happen.

If I put my finger in my belly button it makes my throat itch which can only be stopped if I hold my nose and blow.

I am a freak!

swiftybaby · 19/07/2012 22:51

Madame folly I get that weird head thing tis horrid!
Also when I clean my ears out it makes me really cough?!
I get really hot feet at night?
Also twitchy eye. Apaz it is a sign of dehydration? (not sure if I've just made that up!)

SuperSesame · 19/07/2012 22:51

Love this thread and have to add my own.quickly scanned theough and i dont think it has been said already but i would LOVE to now if it happens anyone else.

If im 'enjoying' time on my own and fantasising or thinking about sexy thoughts,I always sneeze. Without fail happens everytime and only happens with alone time and has done ever since i was young.
I cant explain it!

TastesLikePanda · 19/07/2012 22:51

I might have smoked like 5 joints in my whole life - so maybe not a pot thing!
Am now slightly nervously googling Alice in Wonderland syndrome...

PatFenis · 19/07/2012 22:50

oooooh! Heres one for ya all - I know someone whose body seizes up after drinking a couple of glasses of wine. Her hands pull into fists, her face seizes up and she can only move her eyes (she can talk when this happens but only through gritted teeth as her jaw is frozen) and she says her toes get cramp at the same time. I happens every time she drinks alcohol. Each episode lasts for about 5 minutes and then she goes back to normal. I am convinced she is having some sort of fit but she refuses to go to her doctor - its very bizarre to watch! :(

Stannwigg · 19/07/2012 22:50

YY to the ear cleaning thing, except in my case, it makes me cough uncontrollably.

Also, I can't burp. At all. Ever. And I drink an awful lot of beer.
