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.

Sometimes when I get pins and needles in my leg it runs all the way up to my fanny and my fanny gets a weird pinsnneedles sensation in it.

Yes yes to to feeling sick if anyone (including myself) touches my belly button. It also causes an itch in my cervix. Dd (16) also feels sick if her Bellybutton is touched but I don't know if it itches her cervix, we've not had that discussion yet .

I also count words in sentences and sometimes even letters in words when people are speaking. It has to end on an even number or be divisible by 5 and if it doesn't then I can't stop and have to go onto the next sentence. Sometimes I have no idea what people said or what's just happened on TV but I can tell you how many words were in the sentences . It drives me potty but I've been doing it for years and can't control it.

Elephants, I must confess that I can actually wear flipflops ... It's just if I press on the 'webbed' bit inbetween those two toes. Weird.

LQ - I have been known to go deaf at that point :o

My neck sometimes "fizzes". I find it happens when I'm hungry and my tummy rumbles.. and the fluid in my neck/back of head (I assume spine or something?) will make a really strange sort of fizz noise.. my sister has heard me doing it so it's not in my imagination! Very strange..

My ears sometimes have this weird knocking/thumping sound when people are talking or there is a noise. No idea what it is but it is massively annoying!

~snuff I get a fizzy neck too, its goes up the back of my head, its very strange!

yes to frightened fanny, twitching eye lid, mint sneezing, belly button coughing, bath gushing. I am very reassured, thought it was just me!

I sometimes have a weird moment where I look around and suddenly think 'I'm really here!'. It's like waking up and very odd.

I haven't had hiccups since I gave birth 4 years ago. Used to get them all the time.

I'm so glad to hear that nervous fanny is a real thing, I thought I was a weirdo after I asked a friend if she felt like that too after we had just come off a fast fairground ride and she laughed at me.

We were about 8 or 9 at the time.

Thank god bogey! Yes mine goes up the back of my head, it's usually when I've recently woken up and am lying in bed.

When my body has had a shock, such as giving birth, or an operation, I get a bump in each fingernail that gradually grows out over the next month or so.

I feel pain more than others..I'm a redhead! Always need a lot of anaesthetic for anything dental. When I had a c section he kept asking me if I could still feel the pin on my bump and I could so he had to pump me full of drugs!

I click...everywhere. My coccyx goes KERLUNK. It is v satisfying.

Thank you Balloon and mind, DM is a nurse who's looked after lots of children with epilepsy so I'll have a chat with her about it this weekend.

YY to nervous fanjo, can happen anytime I'm nervous or scared of something. I'm scared of heights too and for me that's a different sensation, as if everything is draining out of me and straight down to the ground.

I also get runny ears. Sometimes they actually do feel wet even if I haven't had a shower or immersed them in water. It's often worst at night and it feels as if liquid is literally pouring out my ears but when I feel them they are dry.

I also get peeling ears. It happens every year or so and it's almost like a snake shedding its skin as I can literally peel large flakes of skin off my ear, think pretty much the entirety of the exposed surface of the ear. Most peculiar and I do clean and exfoliate them but it makes no difference.

I have an ankle that I sprained twice, the last time being back in 2008. It doesn't bother me during the day but at night I have to wear an elastic aged bandage as it doesn't exactly hurt but one spot just sort of bothers me ifyswim. I can usually dispense with the bandage at some point during the night but I just can't get to sleep with it if I don't have it.

Pippil my brother was a redhead and after several bouts of strong chemo, not one hair on his head fell out (but it didnt grow at all during treatment) and he wasnt sick once. the nurse treating him said she had only seen this once before with such a high dose and that was a redhead too.

ParanoidAnnie loving your link. Particularly this little nugget :

Fellow Javelin Arse sufferers welcome.

PippiL I get the fingernail thing too, after I had DS it looked like I had jammed both hands in a door.

Babygiraffes DB gets the nervous diarrhoea thing. We always called it "exshitement".

Stannwigg I can't burp either. No matter how much beer I drink.

Have loads of these but am sorry to have googled sticky lung.

If I hear a loud noise when my eyes are closed, I see a jagged 60's black and white pattern.

When I am waking up, I get sleep paralysis. I also get mad swooping feeling like I'm falling out of bed. It happens more if I sleep in the afternoon.

Pregnancy left a legacy of nonsense in it's path. They include; a black spot in my left eye, leg hair (didn't have any before), the consistency/shape of some my nails has changed, I cannot bear to have my feet or ears touched. I wake up at 6:30am every day, no matter what and can't get back to sleep.

If I have trouble sleeping I can usually make myself have a recurring dream and go straight off. DH is very envious that I am able switch off.
