Weird things our bodies do

I have a number of health issues to begin with and over the past couple of months I have proper hunger pains just before sneezing. (Will chat to gp at next review)

So what weird stuff does your body do?

When I am tired, my appendix scar itches (it's almost four years old and I had an open removal, not keyhole, so it's a big scar).

Singing makes my eyes water until they have adjusted. I hate it because it looks like I’m getting emotional over my own singing!

@thesparklypussycat I read recently (here onmnet) that being itchy under the chin can be the sign of an allergy so I wonder if you’re coughing because you’ve had an allergy to something.

Interested in this thread?

I experience the same. I get an uneasy, lonely ‘I want my mum‘ feeling. I once read it was oxytocin release, which would make sense as I used to get it when breastfeeding

@vixb1 I get that occasionally, a really big yawn results in ringing and temporary deafness!

I also sneeze uncontrollably if I press my nose in a certain place. Obviously try to avoid that.

I get goosebumps just on my left leg.

One of my births was a c-section and I had terrible terrible shoulder pain afterwards ......very common apparently and is referred pain due to trapped wind!

If you pull my brothers hair it makes him sneeze!

When I've been bursting on a pee and had to hold on for a bit, when do eventually go it makes my back teeth feel itchy.

Scratching my chin makes me hiccup - it's seriously irritating if I have an itchy chin or a spot I want to pop

When I get heartburn I get a sharp pain right in the top of my head Confused

HerRoyalFattyness · 06/02/2020 19:23

I can twist my hand 360°
And my knees and elbows bend (slightly) the wrong way.
I have EDS so extremely flexible thanks to fucked up joints.

A few here - I've got a bump on my collar bone that releases clear liquid if I scratch it. It takes a few months to refill.

Also the horrible nipple feeling and multiple sneezes. DS is a multiple sneezer - but not DD!

I also get the most amazing sensation of peace after doing a massive poo. It can last a couple of hours 😂

wannabebetter · 06/02/2020 19:29

I get pain in my shoulder if I eat too fast and have to manipulate it for a while until it somehow makes me burp & pain goes away.... clearly trapped wind but how the fuck does it get to my shoulder??Hmm

Interesting about the nipple tweaking. I find it really soothing (not in a sexual way) but if I'm in pain or feeling sick/worried/scared then nipple tweaking helps. Obvs I only do this alone/in bed no in job interviews or anything. If anyone else was to do it, it would be a sexual feeling. It's only soothing when it's me 🙈😁

ProfessorHasturLaVista · 06/02/2020 19:39

I can make the rushing, fluttering sound in my ears. I can block out disturbing noises with it. I have no idea which muscles I’m tensing to do it.
