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.

There is something wrong with my right ear that if I get a loud noise near it a nerve is triggered, under my left shoulder blade, just as if someone poked me. I can't hold a phone that side and head-phones are problematic.

Ok, here may be the place to ask . . . if you touch my DH on his inner left thigh it makes his balls 'twang' - you can watch them. Anyone else?

GreenEyesAndHam · 19/07/2012 21:59

I also get the white fingers when driving, especially if I leave my left hand on the gearstick

Handsfullandinamuckingfuddle · 19/07/2012 21:59

Your DH is right Eye - gleeking

QOD · 19/07/2012 21:59

I get pains in the soles of my feet if I see someone in danger

Kaloobear · 19/07/2012 21:59

I get the nervous fanny thing too! Thought I was a lone weirdo but glad to see it's not just me Grin

Roseformeplease · 19/07/2012 21:58

In certain positions my arms dislocate from their sockets and I can pull them in and out at will. I have never met anyone else with this but it is down to shallow sockets, I think. Also, all mints including toothpaste, make me sneeze - I have only met one other person with this.

Have friend with twitching eyelid thingy who was offered NHS Botox!

Nervous fanny when I look down from a great height.

Talking of hips, I sometimes get a hot feeling across my hip as though someones pouring hot water across it. Or if Im holding one of the kids, as though they are weeing (despite the nappy!).

Had that for as long as I can remember.

If I haven't had sex for a week or so I start having orgasms in my sleep!

Not the kind of thing you talk about in real life so I don't know if other people have them too!

They are real because they wake me up.

Anyone?!

GreenEyesAndHam · 19/07/2012 21:57

Sometimes nipple stimulation gives me what I can only describe as a 'sad, lonely want-my-mum' feeling Blush

I got the exact same feeling at the onset of each of my three labours, so I'm convinced it's got something to do with oxytocin. Or that I'm a freak.

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 21:55

I can hit the rear view mirror from the back seat of the car with a 'gleek'.

Handsfullandinamuckingfuddle · 19/07/2012 21:55

kicking - not licking Blush

Oh I get the twitchy eyelid thing, that's quite common isn't it? Also at times of stress though I have had twitchy upper arm and thigh muscles, have had the twitchy lip as well, and once bizarrely I had it in the muscles of my throat which made me think I was about to choke to death Hmm

Wolfcub · 19/07/2012 21:54

not the spots the head thing

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 21:54

That cobra spit is called 'gleeking'. Knew DH would come in useful one day - he's an Aussie and that's what they call it. Who knew?

Have also read threads on MN about javelin arse. I get that. Nice to put a name to it and know that I'm not alone.

Handsfullandinamuckingfuddle · 19/07/2012 21:53

Yep to the twitcy eyelid - only when I am tired though.
I get a twitchy pulsey thing in my left arm - a bit like a baby licking ......but in my arm.Confused

Wolfcub · 19/07/2012 21:53

MadamFolly me too, I thought it was just me. I also can't lie on my stomach with my head raised - e.g lying on front to read or use laptop because I almost instantly get an intense cold crushing pain in the front of my head, it goes away shortly after changing position

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 21:52

nervous fanny Grin

BulletProofMum · 19/07/2012 21:51

I get reynauds too

EndoplasmicReticulum · 19/07/2012 21:51

Twitchy eyelid anyone? Or is that just me?

BulletProofMum · 19/07/2012 21:51

Crackles in my ear
Ridulously soft nails that I can bend backwards
