Weird things your body does (not seen one of these threads for a while?)

[Williaint]

Just in the shower once again counting how many tiny TINY little red dots have newly appeared on my boobs and arms and made me remember some of the past MN threads about weird shit the body does for no reason, especially the things that Google says = death imminent.

the ones that sound concerning have all been checked out and explained as "body can do strange but harmless things".

As above - I get random pin prick red dots mainly on my boobs and upper arms. They are so teeny if I didn't look for them id prob never notice. They aren't cherry angiomas, just dots like I've been jabbed by a needle 🤔

When I wake up in the morning if I go to touch my eye bag area even just slightly, no actual touching, i hear a whooshing in my ear on the same side

I get very slight beaus lines on all my nails for no reason whatsoever

If I get VERY stressed I sometimes get a splinter haemorrhage, always on the same nail, same place

I occasionally get slight purpura in the exact same place on my thigh. Nothing like googling "tiny bruises on leg no injury" to put the shits up you!

Angel by Thierry Mugler literally smells like BO on me. Perfumes with similar notes are fine, just something in that reacts to my....oils???

I have one random very straight thick ginger pube that just grows forever and I have to trim it. (not just one pube, just one ginger one)

I once had a cyst on my forehead and when I finally squeezed it cut it out with a scalpel from Amazon a shard of glass came out 🥴 do not recall having an accident!!

Anyone else have anything a bit weird? Or am I not that weird and others get stuff like this?? 😃

When I lie down sometimes I get a feeling at the back on my skull that feels like the little polystyrene balls you get in a bean bag without static charge rattling around and settling inside a bone dry skull.

its not quite fizzy but kiiiind of….

@FloorWipes sounds like folliculitis on your legs

I also have hairs growing from tear ducts and tiny red pinprick spots.
No leg reflexes either.
Two of my toes dislocate regularly.

I get exploding head syndrome when I'm stressed.

I have Raynauds and sometimes my feet look like a fresian cow as it happens in patches (but pink and white rather than black and white).

I have benign calf fasiculation syndrome so my calves have been twitching constantly since I was 12 years old.

When I'm anxious I get internal tremors so it feels like the bed is shaking.

Shopping in The Range makes me need to poo EVERY TIME. Doesn't happen in any other shops.

Some lights give me instant migraine-type dizziness. It seems to happen most in European countries with their flourescent and yellow lights. I can go into the room with one of these lights and instantly feel dizzy. Leave the room and I'm not dizzy any longer. Really really odd.

Having just googled Achenbach syndrome and I have that!!! Never knew what it was, just randomly occurs every now and again.

Sometimes if a part of my body is really itchy I get a whooshing sound in my ears. If I really need a poo I get waves of goosebumps over my bum cheeks and backs of my legs. When I laugh hysterically I can't write my hands go weak 😂

I get the rash on my neck too! It's the same area every time, about the size of a playing card. It's like a pinprick rash but feels totally normal. Happens every single morning and then goes away after 20 mins or so. Weird!

I also thought the jaw flexing/ear whooshing thing was normal.

If I sneeze hard, I sometimes get awful shooting pains up my arms and boobs.

The ear whooshing thing, I can do that too. Is it not normal?!

I get this about twice a month, always at night. There was a thread about on here a couple of years ago and they called it javelin arse😆😆 just about sums it up

I also have these weird orange yellow spots on my eyelids which from excessive googling I think are this condition which was first reported in 2008 - orange palpebral spots https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9886507/

When l vomiti, I get a sharp pain in the back of my right arm from armpit to elbow. Always the right arm and always in the same place. No explanation

I’m 5ft 4 and during a scan I once got told my kidneys were a size that would typically be seen in a 6ft plus man.

I feel oddly proud about that.

My eyes water uncontrollably when I sing. It makes it look as though I’m getting emotional!

Deep bass music played really loudly makes my scalp tingle.

I get an itch on a my scalp (always in the same place) if I eat raw onion

I can tense a muscle in my ear to make a rumbling sound.

When I really need a poo my fingers tingle. This started in the last year or so

There is a way of strapping it with sports tape that takes away the pain instantly if you get it right - mine has been so bad at times I've had to take my shoe off at work and then walk to the car with it still off. This is the only thing I've ever known that really helps.

If I push my bottom teeth in (or tense muscles in my neck) one of my eyelids lifts upwards. It's not something I can do any other way, I can't do it by trying to move my eyelid.

Vertigo makes the soles of my feet tingle. Even thinking about high places does it (doing it now!)

This is such a brilliant thread! Howling at the bookshop/library comments 😂

I have a random very fine white hair that randomly grows out of my forearm. It’s so thin I forget about it until it’s probably six inches long then I pull it out and the process starts again.

Me too! My sister spotted it. I have to pluck it.

a thick black hair on my forearm. (I’m fair haired)
I also have a second line of fine eyelashes above the main ones!

This is fascinating! I'm sitting here thinking that I have no weird things but then remembered one which I think is a little bit weird 😂 whenever I cough while eating (if I choke a little bit or the food goes down the wrong way etc) I have a sneezing fit. Never happens if I have a cough due to a cold. Only food related.

Just googled vertigo and have seen that it doesn't mean what I thought it meant. Every day's a school day...!

It has a name! God bless the internet!
