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?? 😃

I get a histamine reaction to vibration on the skin, red blotchy and intense itch…discovered this when I bought a hand held back massager . Happens with extreme cold too!

Hmm; sort of. I used to dislocate my jaw yawning, being sick, laughing too much etc after my wisdom teeth extraction - from the jaw being clamped open when I was under general anaesthetic. This lasted for years but now it seems to be ok.

However, I get nerve pain (?) in my left ear often. It's intensely painful and painful to the touch. I have to do strange stretches to try to help it. I also sometimes get a jaw/muscle pain near where the root of my tongue attaches on that side. It makes it hard to eat/drink/talk. I finally asked my dentist who said tmj and not much you can do apart from pain killers. I think it's also related to my teeth grinding.

Anyway, sorry that was a long answer. But maybe you're hyper mobile and can dislocate some parts of your body?

That's interesting about the endo @LickYouLikeACrispPacket. Never thought of that

I often get javelin arse and fanny daggers. I often get a stabbing pain in my left tit, which a lot of my friends get too. Also, when I insert a tampon, my lip curls up on one side like Elvis. I've done it in the mirror to check. It's very funny!

I get itchy from the inside out. Mainly on my stomach, and no amount of scratching can sort it. So annoying!

If anybody is injured on tv, especially falls or where people are thrown from an explosion, I feel it in my body, especially my legs.

I can't watch too much violence as I'm exhausted by the end!!

My daughter has it do. We both say ' ow, I felt that'

I feel so much better reading these!

Brain zaps after coming off anti-depressants (scared me out of my wits to start with), a lone fine white hair that grows rapidly in the middle of my chest and my jaw does an awful clunk on the right side every time I yawn.

Fascinated to learn about precordial catch, I used to get this often as a teen. I remember trying to describe it to my Mum and said it was like my lung had got caught on my rib! 😂 Now I have a name for it!

One that I never got to the bottom of though, they always used to lock us outside at lunch/break at school and we weren’t allowed to wear tights in Y7-9, only knee high white socks (this was the early 90s and girls weren’t allowed to wear trousers as part of school uniform, mental). If it was really cold I’d get the standard cold corned beef legs, but I’d also get these neon orange patches under the skin around my knees and on my thighs. I’ve never found out what that was but I only ever got them when extremely cold.

Having had a folded ear is actually a good description of what the pain feels like. However, it’s not been folded. It can happen at 2pm at work - and I instantly know I’m getting ill.

Not anyone else I know!

I have multiple hairs that grow out of one follicle on my head. Sometimes if I catch my hair or brush, they become really sensitive. I get DH to tweeze them out and the relief is amazing. It’s called pilli multi something or other.

I also get red dots.

I also can’t see my pulse on my wrist.

@lemonyfox I get this roo, on my tummy. They are very fine yet course, looks like a singular hair but then there's two when you pull them out, like a tiny feather.

@lemonyfox *too!

I’m really curious about these feather hairs people have!

Another javelin arse sufferer here too.

Strong toothpaste makes the inside of my mouth peel off. It’s like a white, jelly substance.

I used to get this ALL the time with my previous dog, a Dalmatian. His hairs were like little needles and they really hurt! Never happens with my current dog, a Labrador.

@justmewithmylifetoday well I'm actually glad it's not just me, with you and all the other posters who also have the feather hairs!

And they pull out so easily and satisfyingly too, with no resistance....

I want boob feathers too!!! i love picking/plucking at stuff 😔

Since having children I can’t sit on a bicycle seat. Even a gel cushion one. It feels like I’m sitting on broken glass, excruciating.

@DopeyS thats Achenbach syndrome

Me too ihavebecomecomfortablynumb! See my post and one other upthread :)

I have one rogue eyebrow hair that always grows three times as long as the others and goes curly like a pigs tail. What's that about?

How many eyebrows do you have!?

I've got a single curly pubic hair that grows on my thigh just above my knee.

And if I eat runny eggs outside or in a draught they taste metallic. It means that if I have an outdoor breakfast I must have scrambled eggs 😬

I also get these feather hairs lol

🤣🤣🤣

I think the posters talking about clear fluid leaking from their nose should get it checked out, I remember seeing a woman with that on a medical program and it was cerebral fluid that was leaking.
