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.

you should ring nhs direct next time.listen to them going thru their diagnosis questionnaire as you confidently announce you have javelin's arse

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 23:04

Really Chub? Nothing to do with the fact I'm dreaming DH is Val Kilmer and we're having sex, eh?

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 23:05

Facts leaning towards periods rather than trapped wind. Isn't MN informative?

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 23:06

I dare you tox

OHforDUCKScake · 19/07/2012 23:06

Has anyone ever got E wee? Bit of a contraversial one... Where they've been on a pill (E) and not been able to wee for love nor money?

yes to javelin arse. I am sure it is trapped wind too.

The big head thing is going to make me laugh out loud one day when I'm on public transport or something, and it'll just pop in my head and totally embarass me. Love it. Don't have it, troll you massive freak Grin

I do sometimes feel like my hands are massive in bed. mimimal teeny amount of weedsmokage history and none for over 12 years.

Ears/nose/eyes are all connected, so you can shoot stuff out of your eyeballs and taste drops etc. That's normal :)

PatFenis · 19/07/2012 23:07

Bloody hell - I have just googled Alice in Wonderland Syndrome too! My dad was hospitalised as a 9 yr old and had physchotherapy because he said that his left hand was enormously larger than his right hand and my gran was told to leave him in the hospital as he was 'not right in the head' - that would have been 1950. Thank god things have moved on and thank god my nan told them to fuck off!

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 23:07

Thank you Nagoo - neck and neck again. Bloody javelin arse. Can't decide arse.

doinmummy · 19/07/2012 23:07

I know when I need a poo because I get goose bumps on my bum.

slacklucy · 19/07/2012 23:08

my bum sometimes feels like its in spasm.. is that the javelin arse thing. It can last for anything from 30 seconds to an hour.
I get it more often at night & need to put a hot flannel on my bum, sudocrem is also good.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 23:08

yes to E wee

also if I eat sugar puffs my wee smwlls of sugar puffs

and some times my wee randomly smells like pinapple

EyeoftheStorm · 19/07/2012 23:09

Treatment for Javelin arse!? This is better than NHS Direct.

Thistledew · 19/07/2012 23:09

YY to the finger blisters, but not all the time. Hadn't connected it to my cycle.

I also get the floaty big head and hands thing. I think it must not be uncommon - I am sure that is where the line in Pink Floyd's song 'Wish you were here' comes from "When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons".

I sometimes get a fluttering sensation in my eardrum.

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 23:10

Hmmm....the evidence for javelin arse does seem to be pointing towards trapped wind....

tho they may well be different conditions, mine felt like a large mushroom cloud had detonated mid bowel, rather than an upward jab of a javelin spear

Nagoo · 19/07/2012 23:12

no but I have ahd acid and then thought I was pissing myself continuously. Who said drug use wasn't glamourous?

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:12

hurray Im not alone in my bubbly fanny.

I always thought javelin arse was nerve pain or internal poles.

shhhgobacktosleep · 19/07/2012 23:12

Haven't read beyond pg 5 yet but will do to hopefully find someone else who has an off button. Dh found it when rubbing my head one night. If he (or I assume anyone but no one else is getting that close Grin ) applies pressure to a certain point just to the right of where my spine fits into my skull I can't move at all, not even blink or speak. It's like putting me onto standby Grin

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 23:12

they'll be re-writing gastro-intestinal medicine after this thread.

a warm flannel and sudocrem? Grin

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:12

FFS piles not poles Hmm

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 19/07/2012 23:12

arent the blister things warts, you can get viral warts that are contagiouse but not of the sexually transmitted nature, maybe your immune system prompts an out break.

choccyp1g · 19/07/2012 23:13

Oh and I have a particular dream that I always have when I am running a high temperature.

Stannwigg · 19/07/2012 23:13

I really am still agog about Alice.

toxtethogrady · 19/07/2012 23:13

what are internal poles? as in pole vaulting? is this a new condition?

cocolepew · 19/07/2012 23:14

Shock @ standby button. How bizarre.

NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown · 19/07/2012 23:14

Yes to E wee although having not done it for me it's usually been after drinking

just remembered sometimes when I need to sneeze but can't if I flap my right hand up and down it 'tempts' it out
