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 nipple stimulation gives me what I can only describe as a 'sad, lonely want-my-mum' feeling Blush

I got the exact same feeling at the onset of each of my three labours, so I'm convinced it's got something to do with oxytocin. Or that I'm a freak.

If I haven't had sex for a week or so I start having orgasms in my sleep!

Not the kind of thing you talk about in real life so I don't know if other people have them too!

They are real because they wake me up.

Anyone?!

Talking of hips, I sometimes get a hot feeling across my hip as though someones pouring hot water across it. Or if Im holding one of the kids, as though they are weeing (despite the nappy!).

Had that for as long as I can remember.

Nervous fanny when I look down from a great height.

In certain positions my arms dislocate from their sockets and I can pull them in and out at will. I have never met anyone else with this but it is down to shallow sockets, I think. Also, all mints including toothpaste, make me sneeze - I have only met one other person with this.

Have friend with twitching eyelid thingy who was offered NHS Botox!

Ok, here may be the place to ask . . . if you touch my DH on his inner left thigh it makes his balls 'twang' - you can watch them. Anyone else?

There is something wrong with my right ear that if I get a loud noise near it a nerve is triggered, under my left shoulder blade, just as if someone poked me. I can't hold a phone that side and head-phones are problematic.

I had heard of it too oh for ducks sake but totally forgot about it until you mentioned it. Its a funny feeling.

Yeah I get the twitchy eye, sharp shooting pains up fan and bum and the itch that isn't really there but somewhere else.

I have a point just below my left shoulder blade that is completely numb. I've had the gp prodding it and not felt a thing.

Occasionally it burns in that point. So much so that my I urial reaction is to try and see if my top is on fire!

I'm assuming it's nerve issues but it can be very annoying!

I can't believe there is independent verification of the word gleeking. Might have to impress DH with a massive one as a reward

If someone is talking behind me, in a low or deepish voice (not whispering though) my back goes into incontrollable spasms from bum to shoulders. Has proved embarrassing in long queues.
