My right index finger is moving all by itself! Those of you who have had evoked potentials when the electrodes move your fingers - it’s a bit like that. The finger just flicks down.
Also today the area below my lip on the right keeps twitching or flickering - I haven’t managed to catch it in the mirror yet to see if its visibly doing it or just another of those strange sensations no one can see to go with the buzzing.
I could make my money in a circus soon
Hope you’re all tucked up indoors warm and snug. Deb x
Can I join too please. I could the failed tightrope walker!! I can’t walk in a straight steady line on a mile wide pavement!! Or I could do the bed of nails trick…I wouldn’t feel them so could just there for ages while the audience gasp in disbelief!! Or I could just eat my own weight in chocolate and not be sick…waaaay cooool!! Xx
“Tobbie Cups Travelling Troupe” performing tonight at Tripperfield’s Circus.
Be amazed by their twitches and flips, flickers and kicks, buzzes and jerks. You will see spontaneously moving body parts; people tripping on the flat floor; wheelchair races; walking stick wars; rolling eyes and much much more.
I’m in too. My latest trick is being able to scrub my skin with a hessian exfoliating glove so hard it goes bright red whereas my hubby rubbed his arm gently for about a second before wimping out! Pain? What pain?!
If you’re looking for any job share partners, I can do the twitching finger and the chocolate overeating too. Afraid I can’t help with the twitching lip - but I can help if an eye will do?
Did you know that the Guinness World Record for eating creme eggs without a break is supposedly only 9? Pah! Lightweights!
(OK, maybe not 9, but I’ve done 6 before and that wasn’t even trying!)
Oh aren’t those eating records pathetic? I can do the Ferrero Rocher one. You could eat those creme eggs lying on a bed of nails! Twitching eyes are definitely in.
I must ask…why on earth are you and your hubby having ‘who can rub their skin the hardest with an exfoliating glove’ competitions?
Phooey…I could easily do 10 and beat the record. Now I’ve just got to wait a couple of weeks for Easter eggs to hit the shops and I’ll put it to the test!! In fact how’s about this for a plan…March the 1st…let’s be patriotic on St George’s day…buy British…Cadburys creme eggs…let’s all get 10 + whatever each person thinks they can eat…then at a certain time, say 8pm, all log in to the site and eat away. Then report on who’s done what!!! Xx
Ps re exfoliating mits…my O/T gave me some excellent advice when my leg was numb. You get three different roughness items in bath, so I used a loofah brush, a shower scrunchie and a soft face cloth and you rub the numb limb in turns with each, varying the speed and strength so that you get several different sensations. Her argument was that it stimulates the still good nerve receptors and makes them work harder to recognise the different sensations. It worked for me!! I did it for about a week before i noticed a difference but the numbness definitely improved.
Can I join your team too? I am not diagnosed with anything yet but I do have: a twitchy right eye, a right index finger with a mind of its own and a right arm that likes to flail out every now and again and throw unsuspecting objects across the room! Surely that means I meet the requirements? As for the creme eggs; I have to say that although I love chocolate, I am not a fan of creme eggs - so I’ll skip the record attempt.
Rae, you sound perfect! As Mrs H says you can be the flame thrower - people love a risk (which the previous cotton wool government seemed to misunderstand).
We’re getting a team of finger twitchers it seems so maybe finger football? (P.S. What makes our fingers do it?!!)
Nooooo waaaay…!! So what’s your vice? We could have the most unco-ordinated cheerleaders squad ever, for the non chocolate eaters. Save loads of time on rehearsals coz we wouldn’t need any!!! Just Pom poms being thrown around in a jerky, random manner!!
my sister, who is 4 years younger than me, got on the bus where i was headed off on a hot date, with a load of her friends.
they all put a full creme egg in their mouths and they just had to suck them because they couldnt bite.
there i was, trying to look grown up and glamourous when the conductor went to them for their fares. they couldnt speak for all the chocolate running down their chins (nice sight) so my sister pointed to me and the conductor came to me for their fares!
ah bless em, that sister is fifty next week and still as daft as a brush.
Re loofah The more i look onthe forum the more in common I have with u all ( should I be worried??) I never gave it a thought when I used to scrub away with the massage sponge so | asked my hubby if he could scrub hard ( squealed like a pig) I just thought it normal haha. I have twitchy eye, and dodgy bladder so im a good sprinter. Can i be in your troupe, at the ticket desk(near the loo) as Im quite shy and deaf in one ear. You gotta laugh
