To be really aware of my nose today

[CrotchBurn]

Obviously of you really try and look at your nose you can see it, but in day to day life you just dont register it.

But I just had a nap and woke up and saw it out of the corner of my eye and now I cant stop seeing it!

Anyone else get like this every now and then? Also do you think it's related to the fact that I have had a shit load of coffee to drink today (wired and neurotic)

I can just about see some of my nose if I close one eye. I can't say I've ever had your experience though.

i get this every now and again, i dont drink coffee, it just happens!

I find it happens if I'm tired... Or if I have a spot on my nose!

It happens to me sometimes, I can't see it now but reading you describe it has made the bit of my nose I would be able to see sort of tingle, like I'm hyper aware of its existence

The human body is weird!

I had exactly this a couple of years ago and it turned out to be a detached retina. It was exactly like you describe, like I could suddenly see my nose all the time (not just when actually looking for it). I googled it and everything at the time. I found a post on some random forum where someone had the same thing and it had been a detached retina. Long story short I ended up getting it checked out in eye casualty and that’s what it turned out to be for me too. The ‘seeing my own nose’ thing was literally my only symptom at that point.

Not trying to worry you or anything, and in all honestly it’s pretty unlikely to be that for you. BUT it’s just something to keep in mind as a detached retina is not something you want to wait around with and you’d need to get it sorted as quick as possible if so. Hope that helps and, as I say, it most likely isn’t that for you anyway. But I just wanted to share my experience just in case, as personally I was really lucky that I happened to come across the random forum post that I did as it got me thinking, and it led me to getting it sorted quickly.

(Sorry for the crappy user name btw, this is my first ever post on here actually as I’m normally just a lurker!)

Wait until you become aware of your tongue...

I sometimes get this but then I am an elephant.

Alright Pinocchio.
