To ask you what's the most satisfying thing your body has done?

[Fstt1978]

I've been in hospital for a small procedure which left me with lots of trapped wind. I've been home for 2 days, turned over In bed this afternoon and did a completely silent but REALLY long burp which felt like it deflated my whole body and all the pain in my upper back and shoulders just went. It felt so relieving and satisfying.
My sister once pulled a hair from her foot only to find it was really long and had somehow wound over and under every toe and when she pulled it , she felt it on each one.

I've had a blocked ear for days. The was was hard and impacted but this morning after pouring a load of olive oil in last night it's just unblocked and it's bliss.

This thread is amazing. I keep coming back to it.

Another one I had was when I had a nose bleed, so I did the usual head down and pinched nose thing.
I ended up with the most glorious clot in my nose. It was like a very firm jelly, and when I pulled it out, my nostril felt cold. It was about 4 inches long.

It's either a poo or a cyst/ingrown hair thing 😂😂😂 I've had poos that I've had to breathe through like giving birth! Feeling the head crowning and knowing it's nearly over 😂😂😂

Last week I had one of those camera endoscopy to look for bowel cancer and other issues. Had to eat the crappiest unhealthy diet 5 days before so there's no fibre in the bowel. Then fast for 24 hours while also drinking the vile prep stuff that's meant to act like an enema but different hole. Was pooing water by the end of it. Swallows the camera in the morning went home praying it would come out before tea time as I was absolutely starving and still couldn't eat! Went to the loo just after 5 and when I looked down the little dude had popped out and was flashing his heart out in the loo. Was so so so happy that I could eat and have a decent cup of tea. Best news was that after the hospital had reviewed the footage (all 7 hours of it) they found no malignancy or even any other inflammation. Apparently I have huge internal piles which caused the bleeding 😂😂😂

When i was teenager I had this massive under the skin spot for weeks. One day I popped it infront of the mirror and it made a loud double popping sound and then landed satisfyingly on the mirror. I still remember the relief

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am always amazed at the affect some pieces of music/songs can have on me. How can just the sound of something have such a physical effect? It is an intense feeling that seems to start from the bottom of my back and washes over me like waves of goosepimples and chills, making all my hairs stand up on end...it can last up to 30 seconds and is incredible.

I also wonder if this is connected with how easily I cry at performances, plays, gigs, award ceremonies, choirs etc...these are not sad things, but I will well up with tears 9 times out of 10.

I react the same way to music. I watched a video of a moari group singing a song in their own language this morning and within seconds I was crying despite not having a clue what they were singing about. It was just so emotional.

Yes!!! The opening song to The Lion King musical made me cry.
Choirs and hymns always give me goosebumps too.

I do this too! Do you enjoy ASMR stuff too? I have a theory that it's all linked.

😂

I do!! Can't really get to sleep without an ASMR video. Interesting.

Planned home birth, third and last child. Delivered him on my living room floor after five hours of labour. Well actually I didn't need to do anything, my amazing body just expelled him. I didn't even push, I was kneeling, he just slid out so fast and I instinctively reached down and caught him. It was amazing. I was on cloud nine for days afterwards.

I nominate this thread for classics

Surviving 2 comas 🤣

My daughter too. She invited me to look. It was astounding!

Back to lowering the tone. I was in the shower one morning and realised that something around my bikini line hurt. When I finished the shower I put my glasses on and realised it was a huge, angry spot that had emerged overnight. Gently squeezed, pus hit the far side of the bath and it was instantly better.

I had the hair in the tear duct, had trimmed my fringe before going to work, I was begging everyone in the pub for tweezers(or I was going to the eye a&e) and finally managed to pull it out followed by tears squirting out.
Another poo one, before being diagnosed with coeliac I had the most violent shits(sorry) I’m glad it’s sorted now but the poo basically pissing out like a tap, was incredible if awful.

When I was a teenager I could feel something in my ear bothering me but didn’t think too much about it. One day I was feeling my ear and felt something like a little string hanging on the outside of my ear canal. I pulled it and out came with it a HUGE chunk of ear wax - I can’t describe the immediate weird feeling of relief and how LOUD everything sounded. It was probably about a cm round and in the shape of my ear hole. I was staring at it in the palm of my hand for ages 😂

I had moved to Spain with my family a few months previous and I think it must have been something to do with being in and out of pools, the sea and the sand etc. Anyway I still think about it now and how satisfying it felt. My two first PPP’s (post partum poos) have not come close 😆

This for me, but it was 13 days post partum and needed an enema. The relief was like nothing I could ever describe or ever forget!

The lol - a big ingrown hair on my pubic region followed by squeezing some pus out - so satisfying. Haven’t done the sneeze/burp/fart combo but I can dream 😁

Something black came out of mine when I was pregnant and my bump stretched my belly button flat and I dug something out of it. I thought it was maybe a bit of my original umbilical cord.

I love this thread.
I used to have cyclic vomiting syndrome where you vomit uncontrollably on a regular basis for (in my case) up to 20 hours. Once I was in the midst of an episode and heard a clink as I threw up for the umpteenth time that day. On investigation it was a bronchial cast where phlegm has set hard in your lungs and all the retching had finally expelled it. Truly the only highlight of a miserable condition

Yes!!!!! I've mentioned this to a few people who didn't get what I meant...but one of my brothers also has it every so often. It's a really fine spray isn't it?!

I used to say giving birth to DC1 was like constipation and birthing DC2 was like having diarrhoea. First one was a huge effort; second one I had no control over whatsoever!

Make it necessary to decorate a nursery room and buy a pram when we'd been told it was mathematically close to impossible that we would conceive without medical intervention
