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

If I get a fright, it's like someone gives me an electric shock all over my body.

I also have nervous fanjo.

If I'm watching someone on something ridiculously high, in real life or telly, my stomach lurches.

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I will have a small itch on my hand - maybe between my fingers, the base of my thumb or the back of my hand. It then grows and spreads at least halfway up my arm and nothing relieves it. I don't feel the need to scratch it with my nails but have to rub it intensely with a towel or hold it under cold running water. It can last 5 - 20 mins before it just disappears. I presume it's to do with nerves and the way I've slept on that arm.

An wondering about nervous fanjo, and if I have something similar. How ever mine is not triggered by nerves, it's anything particularly heart warming and I get like a 'wave' in my fanjo / womb area! It's a nice feeling and seem to get it whenever something is
Particularly lovely. It only lasts a second and cannot be recreated. Feels nothing like arousal before anyone says

i too get javelin arse, but only when on my period! I asked my doctor what the hell it was he said it was because i had a tilted uterus?! I called it my butt cramps.

My toes crack when I walk. This is probably some degenerative disease like osteoporosis isn't it?

I believe DH suffers from javelin arse. I haven't been very sympathetic up until now, but it is obviously debilitating...

What an excellent thread I get nervous fanny particularly if I'm running late for something or can hear an annoying repetitive noise e.g dog barking. I find irritating noises physically painful, twitchy fanny and gripy stomach, really unpleasant. The human body is fascinating.

I get nervous fanny, but I dont have a fanny . What a freak.

Also have photic sneeze reflex (sneeze in bright light).

Something weird that I haven't heard anyone else describe is that there is an invisible object in my right hand. It feels like a fairly large, soft disc. It's imaginary of course, but if I hold my hand cupped and imagine this disk moving about I can actually feel it. Only in the right hand though. Bizarre.

I wish there was, other people's quirks are far more interesting than mine!

Hmm, Tapir, since following links to all the fascinating quirks on this thread () I've realised I seem to have quite a few minor epileptic symptoms. I would much rather orgasm after a pee! Is there a Quirk Exchange?

Phantom smells can also be linked to migraines and epilepsy.

Oh, now I've written that I can smell bacon again! Dammit, it's like having a song stuck in your head!

I get tingles when a cashier is processing my credit card.Seriously,all down my spine.It's odd,I know and quite enjoyable

Belmo, snap on the lost ability to un-fart :( Not lost to childbirth in my case, just general wear & tear. Phantom smells, too! I spent a significant part of the week before last searching for the source of a frying-bacon smell that seemed to be emanating from the stairs ...

I get exploding head too! Thought I'd died the first time.
Before I had dd I could reabsorb farts if it was inconvenient. I'd hold them in and they'd get sucked back up. Think my bum's knackered now though. :(
Does anyone else get phantom smells? Usually smoke, but recently bleach. Google tells me it's an impending stroke but I've been having them for years.

Shhh they should replace Greenwich Mean time with you .

Are your watches synchronised to Greenwich Mean time ? No I'm using the SGBTS Cycle measure, thank you.

At risk of looking even more weird having already posted on the thread, I also never bleed at night when on my period and as a result of having to log cycle for gynaecologist I discovered that over the last 3 years every July I have a 31 day cycle only in July

I love this thread, makes me feel normal

Javelin arse and fanny-check
Fat tongue Alice in wonderland thing before sleep- check
Twangy elastic band neck thing- check
Restless body instead of legs- check
Nervous fanny- check

Also if I itch my back around hip level at the sides it makes me wee

Brilliant thread!
I have weird symptoms with migraines. I don't have them often now, but had them all the time as a teen- The school regularly freaked out because my face drooped on one side and I became all numb on that side. Weirdly, I then worked with a man who said he could see people's pain ever since he'd had a serious car accident... He came up to me and said- "That migraine on your left side- It can get bad, can't it?"

I have a g spot under the hair on the back of my head. I shiver when it is touched by my hairdresser.

Oh I get the crying when yawning thing too, v embarrassing sometimes when people think you're crying for real.
It also leads to the inevitable runny nose too.

Oh and another one:
my thumbnails - all the other fingernails are fine, strong, grow longer than I'd like if left alone. But my thumbnails are just rubbish. There is always a break working it's way up/a bad crack/a broken nail. It's so frustrating as all the others are fine.

"I get refered pain from IBS in my shoulder which is apparantly quite common but you try telling someone that the reason you are rubbbing your shoulder is irritable bowel syndrome "

I seem to recall that one of the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy is pain the shoulder, so perhaps there are some nerves "doooooown there" that are linked. Sort of a twin-town thing. "Welcome to Lower Colon. Twinned with Shoulder Blade."

aurynne wow real life spidey sense.

I get the word thing too. Mine wrong words are related. 'Put that in the dishwasher' becomes 'Put that in the oven'. I also call everyone by the wrong name - not weird though, my dad has this too.

I am having the irrepressible need to meet you all and hug you :). Not only do i find that other people feel and do what I do... but someone has even given the odd behaviours/feelings a NAME!!!

I also have migraines with aura, and the third time I had one I was sure I had a brain tumour. I went to a neurologist and had a head scan. As soon as the all clear came back, and the Dr told me it was just migraines... everyone else seemed to have them! From never hearing about them before, my flatmate, my cousin and 3 workmates mentioned them in the following month. Weird! I have the blind spot on my left eye, and I have problems with speaking too: I think about a sentence and it comes out with funny words in it! Like, for instance, i think: "I am going shopping today", and I will say "I am going table today"... mad!

Oh, and I have a sixth sense for spiders! Whenever a big spider is near me, I have this very unpleasant "electric current-like" feeling in my head, even when i haven't seen it. Once I was working at the computer and I had that feeling, and immediately something "made me" look down towards my left feet... and there was a huge spider crawling towards me! Another time it was at night... i woke up with this feeling, turned the light on... and a big white-tail spider was crawling towards my face, on the cover... EEEKKK!!!
