Weird body quirks.

Do you have any?

I get stomach cramps/aches if my feet get cold.
Always have to wear fluffy socks (even in summer.)

If I move my head into a certain position or move it too quickly I get a warm (?) sensation in the back of my skull, like something has popped. Really odd.

I feel as if I'm going to throw up before I sneeze. Every single time.

I'm sure there are more too but these are the ones that have come up in conversation before now and friends/family have looked at me like 

Please reassure me that I'm not a freak!

And Dp just tried and can bend his almost double 🤨

My jaw makes a really loud click noise if im eating something chewy/of a particular texture.

Bread is the thing i notice it the most. It freaks people out so i try to avoid eating in front of people...

@CrispbuttyNo1 I knew I couldn't bend my toes as my hubby takes the piss cause I can't lol. Although I am bending it now to see if I still can't 😂

Pressure under the diaphragm causes referred pain in the shoulder.
It's pretty standard. And very irritating!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 08/11/2018 22:00

I have a stubborn tough hair that grows between my eyebrows (the remnant of my teenage monobrow)
As it emerges, while it is too short to grasp with tweezers, I can flick it with my nail and I assume it must have deep roots into my sinuses because I can hear this echoey clicking noise in my head

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 08/11/2018 22:00

I can click my big toes too, I thought it was fairly standard! My properly odd one is that my feet get really itchy when I drink, especially wine.

PearlandRubies194 · 08/11/2018 22:01

@wannabebetter I also get the pain in the left shoulder, whenever I’ve eaten too much, too quickly... tonight, I ordered a take away as a treat and had to leave the chips - because my shoulder hurt! It goes after I’ve burped 🤭

0121DoOne · 08/11/2018 22:03

@SneakyGremlins ahh my apologies. A lactating male with a third nipple would of hands down won the thread!

@CakeNinja that's the mystery solved!

@PenApple I can dislocate my hips! With much pain (stupid bone degeneration..) but I can do it. Freaks people out when it happens, especially when I used to have to 'reset' my hips.

I feel sick if I'm really hungry or really tired, it's not that weird now after reading some of these. I also had a cyst cut out of the top of my head about two years ago, if I touch that scar now I get a twinge in the back of my head. When it first happened I thought someone slapped me in the back of the head and I got a fright! I thought it would eventually go away but it hasn't, it's just less of a thud now!

Rimspector · 08/11/2018 22:08

My molars tingle when my nipples are being touched.

zolaaa · 08/11/2018 22:12

I get tingly and clenchy in my er, vag region if I see an accident or nasty injury on tv! 24hrs in a&e is fun viewing!

SignOnTheWindow · 08/11/2018 22:12

@frecklefox I get that too! Only on my left side though, and if I'm lying down/sleepy at the time it's strong enough to make my whole body go into a spasm.

nodramaforthellama · 08/11/2018 22:12

I've broken my extra ankle bone before. Ouch

Holidayshopping · 08/11/2018 22:16

I feel sick if I'm really hungry or really tired

Yep-I get this. Had it every day when pregnant-I called it ‘hungry-sick’!

1wokeuplikethis · 08/11/2018 22:19

To the ladies with the clicky big toes: do you have bunions? I have awful bunions and my toes used to click but one bunion has got so much worse and more painful and now doesn’t click just feels stiff and hurty.

FlyingUnicorn1 · 08/11/2018 22:20

Last week I got a really bad headache. I think it was something to do with my sinuses as my nose did this weird thing like it was forcing air out of one nostril and made a squeaking sound. It was quite painful and happened quite a bit for a few days. Never had it happen before. It was like my body was trying to release some pressure from my head!

DwangelaForever · 08/11/2018 22:26

@zolaaa yes me too!!!!

DwangelaForever · 08/11/2018 22:27

@MotherForkinShirtBalls itchy feet can be caused by bile in your blood stream so makes sense you get itchy feet when drinking, it possible lowers your liver function and allows bile to go into your blood

AnneProtheroe · 08/11/2018 22:29

I can click every one of my toes one after the other. I may have used this to stop an argument I was about to lose

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 08/11/2018 22:29

Oh, and my right ear pops all.the.fucking.time. It's been popped for nearly a month now. The highest altitude I've reached was the third floor at work Hmm

I also thought the sick when tired or hungry was normal!

Another weird tired one is that the skin on my face gets incredibly painful, like it's been really badly sanded down or something.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 08/11/2018 22:31

DwangelaForever thanks, that's really interesting. Unless it means I need to stop drinking...

Loyaultemelie · 08/11/2018 22:33

Zolaaa me three!

My Dh can bend his toes up and down!

I can touch my wrist by bending my thumb back

I also get the weird mini head explosive thing (however I have many weird and wonderful headaches and migraines type things from Alice in Wonderland syndrome (although haven't had it for a few years) to hemiplegic migraines which made dh think I had a stroke)**

CrookedMe · 08/11/2018 22:33

Exactly like a frog @0121DoOne 😳

Letseatgrandma · 08/11/2018 22:34

Once, when having sex, I had a really bizarre sensation at the top of my head-where pressure started building and building-really painfully cranking up, then suddenly, a huge explosion of a headache-all in a split second. It was frightening-I thought I was having some sort of stroke! It’s never happened again.

Glossymare · 08/11/2018 22:36

@penapple I have the same thing! I’ve not come across anyone else that can do it either! If I twist my upper body back and forth, an inhaling/exhaling noise happen even without breathing in/out!
