I know Im not the only one.

I cant even be arsed to name change, here goes.

Nervous fanny.

You know when someone falls - hard and cracks their chin or elbow or whatever, my stomach drops, I get a shot of anxiety that shoots through the pit of my stomach down to my fanny. Right in the middle of my fanny I get a horrible feeling of anxiety.

Its only started in the last few years, its really unpleasant. Its like a bolt of aniexty, and I ONLY get it when someone hurts themselves. Wtf is that all about?

Anyway, what weird shit does your body do? Confess.

I think javelin arse is a spasm in your colon. I can't see what else it could be. It is definitely the javelin in my case, I think mushroom cloud bowel is a separate condition.

LittlewavyLines - yes I get the eyeball thing. I assume you are pressing your eyeball onto your retina

I also have the fanjo-belly button nerve link. Makes me shudder if I poke it, and not in a good way Wink

Macchiato · 19/07/2012 23:15

I get cramp in my ribs.. Drives me mental

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:16

I cry if someone touchs my bellybutton, it really hurts.

I sometimes think my ear is leaking. I'm convinced there is liquid coming out but there never is.

doinmummy · 19/07/2012 23:17

I get a watery blistery thing right on the gum right at the back of my mouth...it I push it water comes out. I call it a spit bump.

This is brilliant.

I get the enormous swelling fingers sensation.

I get an itch that literally feels like it's in the middle of my head. I guess it's a hayfever thing and it's an itch at the very end of the ear canal or at the back of my nose but it feels like it's in the middle of my brain.

When I see someone attractive I feel it in my toes. Sometimes my toes start telling me I've seen someone attractive before I've actually noticed the person consciously.

Oh and I can't eat walnuts - ow ow tongue hurting. Why are you people eating these shrunken poison devil brains?

BadIdeaGenes · 19/07/2012 23:17

This is a bit embarrassing, but when I orgasm my muscles down there sort of spasm and they push some air out of my fanjo Blush

Please tell me this is at least vaguely normal...

Thistledew · 19/07/2012 23:18

Choccy- me too. I had a sequence of three abstract images that I used to dream about over and over when I had a fever. Two were just in sepia tones, and one in colour.

Nagoo · 19/07/2012 23:19

rofl it certainly feels like internal poles.

LittleWaveyLines · 19/07/2012 23:19

Yes to watery mouth blisters, yes to eye twitches when tired, yes to balloon hands when ill Grin

(I think finger blisters are maybe herpes/cold sore finger infections?)

doinmummy · 19/07/2012 23:19

Yes BadIdea I get air coming out of my fanny I call it a luff puff.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 23:20

fanny farts are normal Grin badIdeaGenes

mumnosbest · 19/07/2012 23:20

madbanners i was just skim reading before adding 'tingly teeth' to the thread. Mine do this too when i finally get to the loo.

I'm just going to read about swelling tongues to see if its the same as i get.

I love this it makes me feel normal :)

shhhgobacktosleep · 19/07/2012 23:20

Oh I have the recurring fever dream thing too. Always the same from being a child and I know I am going to wake up sick if I have that dream.

BassAce · 19/07/2012 23:21

I have a small dimple at the top of my bum crack. Touching it makes me wee. Even if I've just been.

Very useful to know for those last minute midwife appts when you forgot a sample. Bloody inconvenient the rest of the time.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 23:21

yes finger things are possibly herpes, whitlow (sp?) are herpes too

mumnosbest · 19/07/2012 23:21

Ooh i get wet ears too.

Chubfuddler · 19/07/2012 23:21

Oh my weirdest one, which I haven't had for a while, is what I call "cross over". It feels like the bones inside my foot are overlapping and hurts like hell.

Oh yes I get the wet ears thing as well. And I get twitchy eyes when I'm sleepy. If I open my mouth really wide my jaw dislocates.

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:25

Its great when you have a fanny fart the first time you have sex with somebody Grin Tells what sort if bloke/woman they are from their reaction. First time it happened to me DH yelled "Incoming" and ducked.

doinmummy · 19/07/2012 23:26

Grin coco at "Incoming"

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:27

I had concussion and told the Dr my ear was leaking. He completely freaked until DH told him I always get it. Poor man thought it was brain fluid.

moajab · 19/07/2012 23:27

I have so many of these - so nice to know I'm normal or that I'm in good company of fellow freaks Grin
Does anyone else get a pain in their shoulder after drinking coke or other fizzy drinks?
