Weird things your body does, and you wonder if it happens to others too?

[OHforDUCKScake]

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.

VirtuousVamp and Coco's work bloke up to 1/3 of the population have this sunlight sneezing reflex. Don't know if it's hereditary but DS did it this morning too

352 messages already, surely I'm not the only person whose top lip twitches into a sort of sneer when they swing their arms in a circle or roll their shoulders (ie at the gym, they must think I'm really sneery!)
Yy to the falling off when dropping off to sleep

I get the bubble in the fanjo thing. And javelin arse, stabbing in fanjo and nervous fanjo and it vibrates (and I over use the word fanjo ).

Twitchy eye and leg.

Sometimes, just as I'm falling asleep, sometimes I 'see' myself on this particular escalator in a shopping centre, and I fall down it. This jolts me awake.

Whenever DH touches me anywhere, I get goosebumps.

My stomach also flips if I throw stuff downstairs.

I just did it. I just sneered. I can do it without sneering but with great effort!

Ive thought of another.

Im a complete wuss when it comes to caffiene it does a lot of things to me, headache, jittery but also my fanny muscles contract on and off and can last hours. Its totally involuntary and very annoying.

On the plus side thats the pelvic floor exercises done after a coffee.

I sneeze when plucking my eyebrows too, and my nose runs. Proper attractive, I look, gurning into a mirror with a snotty nose

I get really bad deje vu to the point I stand looking stupid/confused because I cant process why nobody else is wondering why we are replaying the action. DD2 gets it too.

I get repetitive phrase syndrome too. I'll either repeat words over and over in my head, whisper it, shout it if I'm on my own, or write it with my tongue inside my mouth.

Well I just read the thread title as 'weird things your BABY does.....'

Huh.

I get javelin arse when on and blinking painful it is too.

DH can 'remote control' me - he found if he does face or even just starts to open his mouth wide I yawn (in fact I am yawning just thinking about it!), if he wriggles his nose I have to scratch mine as it's itchy, and he can tickle me by just pretending to tickle me (i.e. wiggling his fingers near me). He doesn't do this though as it's really not nice not being in control of your own actions

I can also tickle myself which is apparently impossible but it's a horrible feeling so I don't.

I get myoclonic jerks at times, as well as a twitchy eye and muscle spasms - I have always put it down to my epilepsy.

I used to be able to shift my knee caps so you could feel the joint underneath, my left hip has a habit of almost coming out of it's socket, my toes bend the wrong way and my thumb can touch my forearm - I have hypermobility though so none of those are really odd!

I've thought of a couple of other things, but first of all back to javelin arse, in reply to a few suggestions on here.

I've had javelin arse since I was 15, so definitely not any kind of prolapse.

It's definitely (for me anyway) linked to ovulation, as I actually time when my period is due by it. Javelin arse day = period 2 weeks later without fail. I have tested this with ovulation prediction sticks too.

I over the years have had it so bad at times it's made me feel dizzy and faint, I actually fainted once in a supermarket on javelin arse day, and once was really embarassing at a party when I was unable to move off my chair due to the pain. Before I realised the link with ovulation, I was tested for diverticulitis, and endometriosis

It stopped at times when I have been on hormonal contraception that prevents ovulation, but then is a million times worse if I come off it and ovulation kicks back in again, so these days I have a cap instead and it's not so bad at all.

Ok the other things i thought of

Sometimes (rarely now) but particularly when i was a teen, when I was asleep I would feel like my head/skull was being crushed, like squeezed together... presumably in rem sleep, or even some kind of sleep paralysis thing for me to remember it... anyone else get that?

Also if I sit cross legged, the force of my blood pumping round my body makes me rock slightly.

I occasionally feel like I've suddenly woken up in the middle of the day, often halfway through a conversation or whilst doing something. It's difficult to describe, but I'll suddenly feel like I don't know where I am, or what I'm doing, or who the people are around me. The first time it happened was in class at secondary school and it really freaked me out. I've got used to it now and just have to reassure myself who everyone is around me and that I'm OK. After a couple of seconds I feel fine again. No idea why and I've never heard of anyone else with it.

Panda and OP, I am so delighted to find more giant dreamers! I got this sensation loads as a child; like my head had swelled up to mahoosive proportions, but could sort of be squeezed between 2 giant fingers.... sounds scary, but bizarrely I found it sort of comforting! When I (occasionally) get the same sensation now, it takes me back to my childhood.

i also get fanjo-shiver at heights / generally scary things, and twitchy tired eyelid, and occasionally lip-twitch (imagine an Elvis like curl of top lip)

When I have my period it feels like someone has whacked my undercarriage with a cricket bat. Oh, and I've some strange head bumps, but mostly on the RH side...

GnabGib Could that be sort of a 'mini mal' as opposed to 'grand mal' in epilepsy. Only my brother has severe epilepsy and has had several 'grands' but occasionally does what you describe and the doctor told him these were also( albeit very minor) epilepsy episodes.

From time to time I get this sudden hot feeling down one of my inner thighs. I think it must be a vein throbbing. I got it a lot when pregnant. I used to think I had pissed myself. But I never had.

Has anyone mentioned tingling on the soles of the feet when looking down at an immense drop?

Oh I thought of another one, sex related.

When I think about some particularly good sex that has happened, especially if very recent, I get a feeling like a mini orgasm. Goes right through my body, just really quickly, like lightning.

I call them aftershocks, wonder if anyone else gets that?

Quite perturbing when your mind wanders while queueing in tesco and all of a sudden THAT happens!

SoftKittyWarmKitty thanks for that Wikipedia link. I've had the heart popping thing too. It is exactly how you described it.

Also had nervous fanny/evil orgasms and nerve popping over skull pain

When my wee smells of sugar puffs I know I'm pregnant.

When I do pelvic floor exercises my eyebrows raise involuntarily. This is why I never do them walking down the street.

And if I imagine cutting my finger with a sharp knife I can smell and taste burning.

Gnabgib I was going to suggest epilepsy. I know someone who used to get it. It was no bother to her, as in she didny need meds nor did they esculate. But quite scary if you dont know what it is, no doubt.

Mind I've just looked it up and that looks like it might be it. Thank you, I'd never heard of mini mal seizures before.

Yes I thought epilepsy, also when cocolepew said about the massively strong deja vu, that can be an epileptic symptom too.

If someone tells a spooky story - it has to be a ghost story, not something horrific - my eyes start to water massively. My sisters are the same.

I 'type' phrases over and over again in my mind, dividing the letters into equal batches. I do it until I've divided the phrase by 3, 4, 5 and sometimes 7. It's hard to explain but I've been doing it since I learnt to touch type 25 years ago.

Yes but even if it is could be a very mild form so dont worry too much as others have said - may not even need medicating, but at least you can be checked out properly in the process to put your mind at rest.
