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.

Roseformeplease- mint makes me sneeze too.

I also hiccup when ovulating.

Twitchy legs at night - check
Gushing after bath (and getting dressed so need a new pair of knickers) - check
Recurring dream with fever - check (on a corridor, every picture is a horrible witch, every door I open she's behind it, she always looks the same)
Thinking I'm swelling up like Alice - check
Wanting a poo when going into library/certain shops/my mum phones me - check
Going pale and goosebumpy before a poo - check
Hairs on end like a cat when talking about ghosts/moving music - check
Random 'waking' up when I am already awake - check
(Isn't this therapeutic to realise we're not weird and other people also do this!)

This may be a new one - not yawning properly, but can't relax till I do a proper yawn, but its really hard for me to describe the difference between a 'proper' yawn and one that isn't - I just have to keep going till I've done a 'proper' one.

yep, I know the yawning but not being able to do a "proper" one.

(and I think this is common but still wierd, just writing yawn made me do one. reading the word will make me yawn - there i go again)

Really Condensedmilk? I am so pleased to find someone else who does that. It is annoying though isn't it?

I love your extra nipple story minko, if it was me I'd be telling everyone

Javelin arse - always seem to get it sitting with DH watching tv - I suddenly sit bolt upright and suck in my breath! Then relax as it subsides, DH raises an eyebrow and asks if I'm ok - I just brush it off with yeah just a spasm - there are some things he doesn't need to know and trying to explain javelin arse with a straight face would be too much!

Also have a patch the size of a 50p on the outsides of both my thighs that are really painfully to touch or press. About 6 inches up from the outside of my knee - I've never had an explanation for it but a masseuse did once say it was a chi spot or some such that had a blockage ??

Restless legs at night drives me nuts - they start after a couple of glasses of vino!

wierd feeling in my stomach very much like a baby moving - has made me wonder on occasion even when I am SURE I am not pregant.

Hooray FateLovesTheFearless I'm not alone on the random aftershocks! :o

They last just a second or two and have been known to make me blush a little bit.

I have another one.

Sometimes when I sneeze, I sneeze so hard that I get pins and needles instantly in my arms. anyone else? bloody hayfever the usual culprit

I get achy sore ankles and knees when I'm tired beyond comprehension.

Ever since I was a kid I will occasionally (few times a year) get an awful piercing spine spasm pain that means I can't move (at all) or even breath in properly until it passes. Anywhere from one second to 10 minutes or so. Terrifying.

If I am thirsty when I finally drink water I feel my eyes lubricate themselves INSTANTLY.

Around once a month the skin starts peeling off the inside of my mouth in great sections much in the manner of PVA glue if you spread it all over your hand and wait for it to dry then peel it off. Doesn't hurt and is quite fun.

Eating blue cheese makes mouth and tongue go numb and sore.

I feel like i'm going to be sick if anyone presses on belly button or between toes (no flipflops)

What's scary is that NO-ONE seems to have mentioned these things yet

I get something like that OP when someone I care about hurts themselves, my bum cheeks atomatically clench.

Mate's ears click when she sees a spider.

Also if I drink alcohol too quickly I get "the monsters" - my hands and feet clench up

Elephants, 'Eating blue cheese makes mouth and tongue go numb and sore.' I get that ? well, numb, not really sore. Maybe I'm just not eating enough.

Also the 'sick spot' between big toe and next toe. at the thought.

I'd say you are allergic to Blue Cheese, elephants.

If I eat sundried tomatoes my teeth tingle. No other part, but my teeth have this really funny feeling that's almost too much to bear.

I love them as well

Oh, after 6 years of almost constantly pushing a pushchair if I walk without pushing a pushchair after a few minutes my hands start to swell and go hard (I can have trouble closing my hands if I am away from the children all day!).

I used to get swollen hands if I got drunk but I have been teetotal for 8 or so years now so it's not that!

i get the nervous fanny/monkey tail thing too

When I shave my armpits I see loads of flashing glittery stuff like tinsel out of the corner of my eye which vanishes if i try to look at it. Sometimes the tinsel stays there just out of the corner of my eye glittering at me for a while after I've finished.

Is that a new one? (not red whole thread)

I also get the massive twitch when falling asleep thing.

also yes to "proper" yawn and weird bit between big toe and next. Mine sends a shiver down my back rather than wanting to hurl.

I like this thread

Recall I get that weird itchy, caterpillar crawling over my right shoulder feeling when breastfeeding too.

My feet go all limp and quivery if I hear about anything gory, eg an operation, I admit to javelin arse, nervous fanny and my teeth go dry if I have to dip my hand into a bag of flour.

I love the idea of calling nhs direct about javelin arse! Great thread, makes me feel normal!

Clarice! Sardine! The fact that flipflops are an actual item of clothing boggles my mind every time i see them.

Hmm might be right about allergy. Used to get it from quorn as well which is also made from some kind of mould nonsense, fine now though.

Ooh also sometimes if I'm drinking I'll suddenly get this incredibly odd pain around the solar plexus but inside, as if a fist has punched me right there and made me breathless.

SardineQueen betcha that the eye sparkles think is something to do with either the way you're angling your head - or even that you're slightly holding your breath as you shave your 'pits.

Roseformeplease I sneeze when I eat mints too! Yessssssssss.....Allergy friend! :)

My eyes water when I yawn. I mean actual tears stream down my face. If I try to hide the yawn incase people think I'm bored, they see the watery eyes and think I'm crying.

No one else I know has this happen to them and people don't often believe me when they see tears streaming down my face and I tell them it's because I yawned!

Extra strong mints make me sneeze. I also flinch if I touch them with dry skin - why are they so horribly chalky?! - so have to try and get them from packet to mouth without touching.
