Bizarre physical ailments that have happened to you

Post Reply New Topic

Every once in a while my body just does something that makes me go "WTF".

Like one morning I woke up and part of my cheek felt weird, so I looked in the mirror, and watched the skin slooowly swell. Then the swelling moved slooowly across my whole face, (I could clearly see the edge of the swelling) and before it reached the other side, it started going back to normal on the side where it had begun. It was just, like, a really slow wave of weird-puffy-skinness. (There was nothing new in my room that might have caused it. And I've had spider bites before, but they never did that.)

And once, I was sitting in class and my nose suddenly started to run. I wiped it away and it was yellow. I tasted it (yeah I know shut up) and it tasted sort of like lemonade. It smelled fruity too. It kept running, and I had soaked a tissue before it stopped coming out. I hadn't had lemonade or anything similar for at least a month before this happened.

Now I want to hear yours. Any really random crap just suddenly happen to your body for no apparent reason?

I've had that drip too. Very unsettling.

I had a spider bite on my hand and had to have my class ring cut off because it swelled so much.

There was the niacin flush I had recently.

I thought I was having a stroke when I was stoned this one time (yeah, I know - shut up)

I had a thunderclap headache after I did some self-love recently.

When I was a child, maybe 5 or so, I had a dream about a PBS show I had watched. It was about how compressed materiel can have a huge weight, like a grain of sand weighing tons. Oddly enough the dream had the characters from Fat Albert in it too.

I woke up screaming from that dream with the first and only migraine I have ever had. I was taken to the emergency room but it went away as quickly as it came on (lasted maybe an hour). To this day if I think about compressed matter with high mass I get a headache.
