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

I get muscle twitches in my calf muscles. Similar to eyelid twitches but go on for hours. Especially after a lot of walking. Fascinating to watch.

Tortoise - I get that too :) thought it was just me!

Does anyone else have the thing where it feels like an elastic band has 'pinged' inside their neck?! I dread to think what it is, it only lasts a second but is just EXCRUTIATING. Please tell me I'm not the only one & that my neck is not one day going to spontaneously snap?

Oh, and in the same vein of twitchy eyelids and sleep orgasms (of which I get both)...

I get a twitchy fanny after orgasming. Like a weird pulse that you can actually see.
Alway assumed this was normal but maybe not!

I also get fanny twitch. Also when I rub a certain area of my foot I can feel it in my fanny.

If I'm reading or concentrating on something and there is something brightly coloured or stripy in the background the colours "jump." If I actually look at the bright object the jumping stops. It's very very distracting and annoying.

ladywithnomanors I also get stabbing pains up my fanjo. Not very often, but they are excrutiating. Take my breath away.

Also get sneezes when plucking parts of my eyebrows

And can orgasm in my sleep

And forglaciermints the thigh/ball twanging thing - that is the cremasteric reflex. Perfectly normal.

tastes like panda I get that swelling up thing! I have never told anyone either. I haven't had it recently but for me its like you have to move really slow when you are all swollen up. I can lose it quite quick though and I enjoy it so try not to.

notgeoff I get that ear aching too. It really hurts to touch it and almost feels like you need to click it into place or something?

When I get into bed I sneeze 3 or 4 times every night. And most nights just when I'm at the point of dropping off I get a random string of itches. Arm, leg, head etc. usually 3 or 4 places.

Including spelling mistakes - "suck in a breath" and "whatever you're doing"

I also get javelin arse. But only in the right side of my bum hole.

I have a squeamish fanny, similar to nervous but mine is quietly confident until I see a paper cut

Self-explanatory really. Sometimes for no reason it feels like someone's shoved a javelin up your arse. The pain is intense and excruciating - you suck in a pause and freeze whatever you're dong. Then it goes away just as quickly.

Cut and pasted my own post for orangesandlemons. Must be against MN etiquette but what the hell.

Tortoise same happens to me. Except once it was my waters breaking and I had no idea. DH said "can you not drain yourself, it's gone on the carpet this time"

mummmsy - the inside of my ears itch when I eat strong mints

and I get nervous fanny

Mummmsy - there are now 3 of us (actually 2 because the only other one I found died a few years ago) but 3 known cases. I have to refuse offers of gum / mints or especially extra strong mints as, at my age, repeated sneezing can lead to er.......!

I get warm wet leg syndrome, only ever in one thigh, I am always so convinced that I have sat in something wet that I have to get dh to check to make sure my trousers aren't soaked

hiddenhome yes I get that too. I have to look away or shut my eyes if I'm dropping something or throwing something downwards, but even then I can "feel" whatever is it falling, and my stomach "flips" as if I was falling too. Very peculiar.

If I hold my nose and close my mouth and 'blow' (as if trying to pop my ears or something) air comes out of the corner of my right eye.

Discovered as a child after I'd had a nosebleed and my mum told me to be careful not to sneeze in case I set it off again.
I later felt a sneeze coming so held my nose and tried to keep my mouth closed.

Blood squirted out of my eye. Gross.

When I lie on my back all quiet at night, I can actually hear my blood fizzing up through the back of my neck, and feel it bubbling through my veins, only at the back of my neck. I swear I am pumping Vimto! And if anyone pulls my hair I sneeze immediately, and yes to pain/itch in one place equals pain/itch in completely odd place a million miles away. (I'm quite fat so that last bit is very nearly true...)

greeneyed I just woke DH up choking onmy laughter at discus clit

Yes to the nervous fanjo! Thought I was some sort of freak!

I sneeze when I'm tired, I get the twitchy eye, and if I stroke the left side of my torso it feels like someone else is stroking the outside edge of my right thigh.

Hahahahha, am killing myself laughing here. I do gleek, and can do it at will. I get crawling skin on my scalp when certain points on my back are touched.

The coolest thing my body does is remember things for me - you know when you walk into a room and forget why you were in there? Or open a draw and forget what you were looking for? My hands start miming what it was, and sometimes I'll even make an embarrassing noise, too, so for scissors, I'll be doing scissor hands and making snippy noises. The other day I was looking for a zester and did a great noise, it made me laugh out loud. Then blush. DP thinks I'm eccentric.

I have gone through this thread twice, and can't find the definition of Javelin Arse. Please can someone enlighten me. a school sports day. I had to bend ov

I have just spent a full day measuring Javelin at a school sports day. I had to bend over a lot, and was concened about sight of my petite and tiny rear on display. WOuld that be Javelin Arse?

Roseformeplease i sneeze eating minty stuff - specifically tic-tacs! thought it was just coincidence for years, then noticed the pattern and thought i was just a bit weird
