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

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.

My fanny (its always my fanny?!) involuntarily starts flexing if I drink too much caffiene.

If I get a sudden twinge somewhere, I get an identical twinge somewhere else at the same time, for example, I had a sharp pain just above my left eye and a simultaneous one just below my left buttock. I'm going to draw a map of these, because it happens regularly.

I have javelin arse today and thought of this thread - glad it made it to classics :o

Abd the official name for sticky lung is precordial catch syndrome
google sticky lung and urban dictionary brings up a whole other meaning!

lalaloopylou · 20/08/2012 18:13

I think the back thing is linked to having an epidural

lalaloopylou · 20/08/2012 18:11

Yes to;
Nervous fanjo
Sticky lung
Head clicky thing
Restless leg(runs in my family)
Belly button fanjo link
Random words in my head as I'm falling asleep
Falling' just as im dropping off to sleep
Part of back has no sense of touch but underneath gets v.itchy

I also get a runny nose if I eat homemade chicken soup ,
Really bad déjà vu to the point it freaks me out and I know what people are going to say/do seconds before they do it
If I touch something rough/smooth/cold with one hand I have to touch it with he other hand too
My toes click if I wear slippers
I sometimes get a pain in my belly after orgasm

Your scalp, no way that must feel really strange!

I can officially say, I now know what 'javeline arse' is having suffered with it last night. It only lasted a minute, I got an odd look from DP
as I said "Arghhggrrrhhh javelin arse!"

Yes I go deaf when I stretch too!
The other weird thing is when I get really anxious not only does my fanny get nervous but my scalp does too! Nits scalp I call it!

Ive thought of two more, if I get really pissed when Im on my period it stops for a day.

And when I stretch I go deaf while I do it.

Ha ha - a big clap for Duck's fanny!! Only on MN!!!! Grin

wanttomakeadifference · 01/08/2012 13:53

Ducks I get it too- but only when being told off!!

I used to get it at school when I got into trouble. Over the years I get into trouble less often Grin so it happens rarely these days.

Last month though, DP's father lost his temper, for a moment I felt like a child about to get a telling off and whoosh bang it happened Blush

leguminous · 01/08/2012 13:28

If I poke my tummy button quite hard, a little spot right up my fanny kind of goes...zing. Almost an itch and almost a pain, but not quite either.

EatingSwansHorror · 01/08/2012 07:03

Trick.

EatingSwansHorror · 01/08/2012 07:03

I see words in my head as I speak and can flip them round and talk and write backwards as fast as I can forwards. No value apart fom as a party tick. Never met anyone else who can though...anyone out there??

aurynne · 01/08/2012 06:05

A big clap for Ducks' fanny!!! Oh wait a minute... better not... :P

I cant believe my nervous fanny got my thread into Mumsnet Classics.

My fanny is now practically famous.

Oooh, maybe that is what I have. I don't get any of the above symptoms though. Only the ones I mentioned previously. And I am not often near photocopiers and when I am it is only for very brief periods, but I always get it and I have done since I was at school. Maybe it is an acute ozone allergy.

Mintyy · 26/07/2012 13:44

When I eat chocolate my mouth hurts (not toothache) but a sort of ache in my jaw right at the back near the ears. Luckily (or perhaps because of this) I hardly ever eat chocolate.

shaky · 26/07/2012 13:41

If I ever have to do an emergency stop in the car I get a sort of whooshing sensation through my whole body right to the ends of my fingers and toes. I think it is the adrenaline release.
I also get twitchy eye (very annoying).
Restless legs
Pinching my nose makes me sneeze.
No one is allowed to touch my knees, EVER. It makes me feel all weird.
Going into big supermarkets makes me want to cry.

"If it is a chemical allergy, the risks of exposure to the allergen can be cumulative, which is why you may only be developing the allergy now. Inhaling the fumes of a photocopier once might not make you sick, but the more chemicals you are exposed to, the greater the chance of your health being negatively affected."

The face-copying might have given you a sensitising dose! And, yes, the irritants are gases, so would form a 'field' around the machine.

garlicbutter · 26/07/2012 11:38

olives - "... sick building syndrome, such as sore eyes and throats, headaches and tiredness. ... the British Allergy Foundation (BAF) is warning that ozone, given off by office equipment such as photocopiers and computers, fax machines and printers, can make office workers ill. The gas can make asthma and allergies worse. And even people who are fit and well can be affected."

Ozone is a biotoxin. Does it ring any bells?

olivestree · 25/07/2012 09:05

I also have just one little spot on my forehead that sweats noticeably. Very annoying. DH tells me when my forehead is 'weeping' again.
