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!

If I need to burp but can't I massage my throat and it works instantly
My eyes start getting sore before I'm about to get a cold/virus
But the weirdest of all is my eyebrow hair grows faster after I've drunk alcohol e.g if I've plucked my eyebrows on fri morning if I have a drink Friday night they'll need doing again the next day Grin

Sorry for lack of punctuation!

But I do have have super bendy monkey toes- they bend twice like fingers do. My podiatrist gets all excited about them weirdo

I thought this was how all toes are supposed to be!!!

If I'm tipsy and go for a wee my teeth itch.

I can twitch my nose like a rabbit, or flare my nostrils like a horse. I obviously have good nostril muscle tone...

If my dc have an injury and I look at it, or even think about it, I get a horrible shooting sensation up my arms.

If my eyes are closed and I hear a loud noise I see flashes of light.

If I squeeze a zit on my chest I get a strange feeling on a particular point on my lower back.

My weird one is that seem to have some sort of ‘pocket’ in the right side of my jaw. If I’m ever blowing up a balloon I’ll eventually hear this squeaking noise (think air being let slowly out of a balloon) and I’ll get a painful pocket of air just below my right ear that I need to rub to get back to normal.
Same place is super painful if I ever get tricked into eating a sour sweet too.

I get exactly the same thing. And the snake venom thing.

ladydick I had a C section too - I wonder is the 'windy shoulder' thing related to that? curly Pearl Crispbutty did any of you have C sections?

1woke no bunions here, but my sister and mum have awful ones - hope colicky clicky toe isn't a precurser.....

I'm so relieved to hear that this is an actual thing. I have always had this, only every so often, but the few people I have tried explaining it to just looked at me as if I was nuts. It's had me quite worried though, what the hell is it?!

@MattBerrysHair I'm so glad it's not just me! DP thinks I make it up to get out of inflating airbeds/beach toys etc.

@PenApple nope, no asthma here. Ex-smoker though, maybe that?

Every time I have my eyebrows threaded (or pluck them) my big toe on the side that's being done bouncy-twitches uncontrollably

NannyMcfanny · 09/11/2018 15:07

@frecklefox that's an ASMR.

Curlygirly · 09/11/2018 15:59

No my 'windy shoulder' isn't from a c section

Frazzlerock · 09/11/2018 16:07

I can make my eyeballs wobble - I can't explain how I do it though.

Also, I always always yawn just after I sneeze (which is never just once either)

CheddarIsNotTheOnlyCheese · 09/11/2018 16:31

I've always been able to do the toe thing. How do bunions develop? Are they pus filled?
Does anyone else find their eyes water if you start to read out loud? Happens when I sing too. I don't feel particularly emotional.

wannabebetter · 11/11/2018 21:40

OMG all this bunion talk - I think I'm getting one on left foot!!!

wannabebetter · 11/11/2018 21:41

Sorry to post pic of feet, but do u agree?
