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.

Ahh...I get javelin arse when I'm on my period

I get a nervous fanny! I always struggled to tell if I was actually nervous or turned on Confused

I also have a hard lump on the left side of my head. I've had it for years, sometimes it shrinks to nothing and then it comes back again. Weird.

Last thing, I see flutters out of the corner of my eye all the time. You know like when you think you can see one of them flying daddy long leg things,then you look at it and it's nothing. I get it everyday :(

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.

Muscle spasm?

javelin arse, WTAF?

I have a numb patch below my right shoulder blade that developed after I had my DD1 and spent the next few months carrying her about in full pfb fashion.

I think that the myoclonic jerks on going to sleep are normal.

ForFoxsGlacierMints · 19/07/2012 22:07

Similar toxteth but more up and down than side to side!

MangoHedgehog · 19/07/2012 22:07

gremlindolphin me too... Blush Tis all the weirder that I am having erotic dreams at the moment, 2wks after giving birth and having a great big episiotomy! sex is the last thing on my (waking) mind

Also, whenever I am pregnant my hairy moustache disappears - bliss as it means I don't need to pluck for 9 months

Javelin arse ???? Dare I Google it ?

Krumbum · 19/07/2012 22:06

Fluttery heartbeat occasionally
Sudden sharp headache that goes again quickly
If some whispers in or kisses my ear I get shivers and goose pimples all down that side of my body, all down my legs too.

gremlindolphin · 19/07/2012 22:06

no stealth boast honestly! Just interested and quite fascinated with what bodies can do.

Yep that's it exactly toxteth

AuntPepita · 19/07/2012 22:05

Javelin bum. I have never read about that anywhere else, but I have that and totally know what that means!

I not only have a nervous fanjo, but also an angry fanjo Confused

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 22:05

What about javelin arse handsfull. Experienced that?

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 22:05

ForFoxsGlacierMints · 19/07/2012 22:05

Thank you handsfull, it's intrigued us both for some time!

GreenEyesAndHam · 19/07/2012 22:04

If someone is talking behind me, in a low or deepish voice (not whispering though) my back goes into incontrollable spasms from bum to shoulders. Has proved embarrassing in long queues.

I can't believe there is independent verification of the word gleeking. Might have to impress DH with a massive one as a reward

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 22:03

yeah...i used to dread it in a way, it was a really hollow awful feeling, like staring into the abyss. made me feel very sad.
bloody hormones

MeeWhoo · 19/07/2012 22:03

gremlindolphin, stealth boast perhaps? Grin

Handsfullandinamuckingfuddle · 19/07/2012 22:02

Balls twang ? I will investigate when DP gets home Wink

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 19/07/2012 22:02

I have a point just below my left shoulder blade that is completely numb. I've had the gp prodding it and not felt a thing.

Occasionally it burns in that point. So much so that my I urial reaction is to try and see if my top is on fire!

I'm assuming it's nerve issues but it can be very annoying!

GreenEyesAndHam · 19/07/2012 22:01

Really toxteth? I'm so chuffed that I'm not alone Grin

UserNameNotAvailable · 19/07/2012 22:01

I had heard of it too oh for ducks sake but totally forgot about it until you mentioned it. Its a funny feeling.

Yeah I get the twitchy eye, sharp shooting pains up fan and bum and the itch that isn't really there but somewhere else.
