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.

:)

I think this is the best thread i've ever seen on mn, funny and yet reassuring!

oh, and also, my big toe on my left foot once went numb suddenly (I was lying in bed reading a book at the time, and within about 30 seconds the feeling was gone) and stayed that way for months. Never did find out what caused it, but it was years ago now, and it eventually went back to normal. That was strange...

Javelin arse. Not sure if it's related to time of the month, I will check next time I get it!

Alice in Wonderland - I used to think I was getting bigger or smaller as child, I used to sit there and enjoy it. I still get it sometimes now. I've never smoked weed and I don't get migraines.

Twitching before sleep. Also, sometimes as I'm going off to sleep I hear someone shouting.

Restless legs, which is very very annoying.

Period and ovulation pain in my legs.

Itches that can't be scratched.

Sleeping orgasms, and also when I orgasm the soles of my feet hurt!

Once, my ankle suddenly hurt and I couldn't walk on it at all for a few hours. Then it was fine!

Squash makes my mouth sore as well. Whyyy?

Restless legs, check
sleeping orgasm, sort of. I always wake up just before the best bit

I get refered pain from IBS in my shoulder which is apparantly quite common but you try telling someone that the reason you are rubbbing your shoulder is irritable bowel syndrome :o

referred even

Nervous fanny - check
Javeline arse - check
Post bath gushing - check (and even my 2 yr old DD gets this, so not bucket fanny related)
Precordial catch - check, nice to have a name for it!
Sleepy orgasms - check
Pins and needles fanny -check
Fanny bubbles - check (and a much nice phrase than farts)

I also get this thing that if something/someone rubs up against my cheek it tingles uncontrollably for ages after.

And slightly more weird head thing, than body thing: I still step over the cracks in pavements and have to step with my right foot first past railings in fences.

Not me, but my DD2 sneezes every time we go out into bright sunshine.

I know that some people have photic reflex but it's every time. It makes me :o.

Also, since my first pregnancy, I often experience "phantom" baby kicks when I'm not pregnant! It's so weird - feels like a baby kicking and moving around but there's nothing there!

It's probably just wind but nothing happens iyswim? Either that or food/drink gurgling around!

YY to the weak thumbs! In fact even just thinking about it makes them feel a bit wibbly.

Lucjam, am on my phone ATM and don't think I can pm, but once I manage to get to a pc I'll pm. X

RobinSparkles I get phantom baby kicks too. I think my massive 9llbder squashed my intestines. They feel very realistic.

I am having the irrepressible need to meet you all and hug you :). Not only do i find that other people feel and do what I do... but someone has even given the odd behaviours/feelings a NAME!!!

I also have migraines with aura, and the third time I had one I was sure I had a brain tumour. I went to a neurologist and had a head scan. As soon as the all clear came back, and the Dr told me it was just migraines... everyone else seemed to have them! From never hearing about them before, my flatmate, my cousin and 3 workmates mentioned them in the following month. Weird! I have the blind spot on my left eye, and I have problems with speaking too: I think about a sentence and it comes out with funny words in it! Like, for instance, i think: "I am going shopping today", and I will say "I am going table today"... mad!

Oh, and I have a sixth sense for spiders! Whenever a big spider is near me, I have this very unpleasant "electric current-like" feeling in my head, even when i haven't seen it. Once I was working at the computer and I had that feeling, and immediately something "made me" look down towards my left feet... and there was a huge spider crawling towards me! Another time it was at night... i woke up with this feeling, turned the light on... and a big white-tail spider was crawling towards my face, on the cover... EEEKKK!!!

aurynne wow real life spidey sense.

I get the word thing too. Mine wrong words are related. 'Put that in the dishwasher' becomes 'Put that in the oven'. I also call everyone by the wrong name - not weird though, my dad has this too.

"I get refered pain from IBS in my shoulder which is apparantly quite common but you try telling someone that the reason you are rubbbing your shoulder is irritable bowel syndrome "

I seem to recall that one of the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy is pain the shoulder, so perhaps there are some nerves "doooooown there" that are linked. Sort of a twin-town thing. "Welcome to Lower Colon. Twinned with Shoulder Blade."

Oh I get the crying when yawning thing too, v embarrassing sometimes when people think you're crying for real.
It also leads to the inevitable runny nose too.

Oh and another one:
my thumbnails - all the other fingernails are fine, strong, grow longer than I'd like if left alone. But my thumbnails are just rubbish. There is always a break working it's way up/a bad crack/a broken nail. It's so frustrating as all the others are fine.

Brilliant thread!
I have weird symptoms with migraines. I don't have them often now, but had them all the time as a teen- The school regularly freaked out because my face drooped on one side and I became all numb on that side. Weirdly, I then worked with a man who said he could see people's pain ever since he'd had a serious car accident... He came up to me and said- "That migraine on your left side- It can get bad, can't it?"

I have a g spot under the hair on the back of my head. I shiver when it is touched by my hairdresser.

I love this thread, makes me feel normal

Javelin arse and fanny-check
Fat tongue Alice in wonderland thing before sleep- check
Twangy elastic band neck thing- check
Restless body instead of legs- check
Nervous fanny- check

Also if I itch my back around hip level at the sides it makes me wee

At risk of looking even more weird having already posted on the thread, I also never bleed at night when on my period and as a result of having to log cycle for gynaecologist I discovered that over the last 3 years every July I have a 31 day cycle only in July

Shhh they should replace Greenwich Mean time with you .

Are your watches synchronised to Greenwich Mean time ? No I'm using the SGBTS Cycle measure, thank you.

I get exploding head too! Thought I'd died the first time.
Before I had dd I could reabsorb farts if it was inconvenient. I'd hold them in and they'd get sucked back up. Think my bum's knackered now though. :(
Does anyone else get phantom smells? Usually smoke, but recently bleach. Google tells me it's an impending stroke but I've been having them for years.

Belmo, snap on the lost ability to un-fart :( Not lost to childbirth in my case, just general wear & tear. Phantom smells, too! I spent a significant part of the week before last searching for the source of a frying-bacon smell that seemed to be emanating from the stairs ...
