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.

If I forget to brush my teeth at night my breath/mouth doesn't feel as rough as it does with usual nighttime brushing.

Does anyone else get tonsil stones? I've always wondered and never met anyone who has but lots of people on the internet do apparently.

Agerbilatemycardigan · 15/11/2016 02:08

I think they're called tonsiliths Sunshine

kandiipopz · 17/11/2016 18:14

I do that too. Can be embarrassing if ya talking to someone.

kandiipopz · 17/11/2016 18:28

I get that too. If i scratch my leg, i feel it in my side, if i scratch my ankle i'll feel it in my belly. It doesn't always happen, but at least i no i'm not alone.

When my nipples are touched, it makes me feel ill in the pit of my stomach. Anyone else hate there nips touched? I get the shooting pains up the eld lady. I get the cobra spit, and recently my ear drum has been vibrating.

I don't get the high up fanny thing. In our family all of us get something similar. We call it.... twitchy bumhole. BlushGrin

If anyone touches the inside of my belly button I get a massive minge twinge.

When I'm pregnant and my belly button sticks out and rubs on everything I can't cope.

Yes to

Tonsil stones (puke!)
Javelin arse - makes stand on my tiptoes purse my lips and inhale with a squeak, then I have to slowly breathe out and relax and it goes away. Sometimes doubles me over. Thought it was related to historic anal fissure.
Nervous fanny
Restless legs

Boone has mentioned these two. A shooting pain in big toenail as though someone is shoving a torture device down it. Comes and goes for an hour or so at a time then not for a while.

One of my ears sometimes "pops" and there's a high pitched squeal then everything sounds muffled and slowly returns to normal. Happens randomly!!

Yes to saliva vomit, call it my ten second warning, never missed the loo yet!

If I hold a wee too long when I finally go my jaw aches and I have to let out a big groan lol.

Belly button scratching Does something to my fanjo!

Big hiccup once after drinking a fizzy drink

Oh and also the horrid scratch throat nose thing and have to make a sound like Donald Duck to clear it. Usually after melon and with hay fever, so I guess it's an allergy thing?

Brilliant thread glad it's revived!

If I bite the inside of my mouth accidentally on the left side I get a very sharp pain in my left arm.

I have facial nerve damage but no idea how it is related to my arm

Shezza85 · 19/12/2016 15:15

I get nervous/twitchy fanny when I think I have forgotten or lost something, like a feeling of 'oh crap' in my fanjo 🤔 I have to cross my legs to make it stop.

GeorgiePeachie · 22/12/2016 14:36

I sneeze when I'm tired.

If I've stayed up late and am snuggling into bed usually if I'm just falling asleep I'll sneeze. Similarly, in the early mornings (for flights and things) I'll be really sneezy.

I think its like the falling feeling right before sleep and my body thinks I'm dying and is trying to wake my self up.
