40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies My proportions are all over the place.

I used to study art. In drawing class, we had to study human proportions using our hands in strange positions and our bodies in front of a mirror. I got a bad grade, was told that my proportions were wrong. I had to go show the teacher that, yes, my thighs are unusually long, my pinkies abnormally short etc.

My grade was changed.

It’s hard to pinpoint what is normal in terms of bodies. The easiest way to explain it is that which is usual, typical and expected. But that’s based on statistics.

And since subjectivity is a thing, there can be a different normal for everyone depending on their condition, situation and experience.

Following this definition, you’d think there has to be some sort of, say, average height, average weight and average anything else.

That holds true for situations in which, say, most folks have 5 fingers, but that one person has 6. But then you have something like weight, which has a norm, but it’s based on your height, as per the body mass index.

40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies I know what human spinal fluid tastes like.

Last year, a sinus specialist discovered I had a 7mm hole in the wall between my left sinus cavity and my cranial cavity. No clue exactly how long it’s been there but I’ve had a “runny nose” as long as I can remember. It was spinal fluid. Very salty. Got it patched up and after some insane headaches while my cranial cavity regulated the pressure, I’m doing much better.

Edit: I’ve seen replies of people having the same symptoms. I highly encourage you to see a specialist because CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leaks are how meningitis can happen. Tell your doctor that the liquid is clear and watery and has a very salty taste. Those are the hallmarks of CSF.

For example, obesity is considered by many—professionals included—a chronic and often progressive health problem. At least in Canada, roughly 6 million people are considered obese—that’s 17% of the population—and that alone costs around 4% of the yearly healthcare budget.

I don’t think that is correct -The recipient's DNA does not change, but after the transplant, the recipient will have two sets of DNA in their body: their own DNA is found in most of their cells, and the donor’s DNA is found in their blood and immune system cells. This state of having two types of DNA is called “chimerism”, after the hybrid creature from Greek mythology. There is a article about a guys dna changing after a bone marrow transplant https://www.news-medical.net/news/20191210/Transplant-patient-finds-out-his-DNA-has-been-replaced-by-that-of-his-donor.aspx

40 People Share The Weirdest Things About Their Bodies My eyes have been misaligned since birth. I've had two surgeries (one immediately after birth, and one in high school) to try to correct it, but they are still misaligned by about 1 degree (possibly more now considering it's been many years). This means I've never been able to use both of my eyes at once, so I do not have depth perception. People sometimes ask what it's like not having depth perception, and my response is what's it like TO have depth perception??

Until the second surgery I had to wear glasses, but afterwards my eyes were close enough that my brain could automatically choose which one to use based on the distance of whatever I was looking at. This is handy because one of my eyes is near-sighted and the other is far-sighted, so I get the advantages of both.

I'm also double jointed in the hips and can put my feet behind my head, and I walk duck-footed thanks to my weird feet.

My body manifests suppressed emotions and stress as debilitating chronic pain.

It’ll be so bad I can’t sleep or think or do anything really, and the only thing that helps is for me to root around in my subconscious for whatever is bothering me emotionally and then cry about it. After I cry, the pain will disappear over the next hour or so, only for the cycle to start again anew the next day, since I’m always stressed or suppressing emotions.

In a philosophical twist—or just a shower thought—if someone does admit that they have an abnormality, and shares it online, after being asked to, that alone kinda sorta feels normal at the same time. Even if they admit that this is a deviation from the norm, sharing how they’re cool with it, and others seeing that it’s weird, yet still feeling normal about it normalizes it. Does that make sense?

I have narrow ear canals too (although perhaps not unusually so, no idea). In-ear headphones were pretty much impossible until I found relatively thin, very soft foam tips for them - the compression of their form is far more comfortable than even the smallest silicone pieces. I'm uncertain if this is a result of the massive amount of ear infections I had as a child, or...if the ear infections are a result of the canals. Who knows!

I’ll try to sum this up 😂

My biological father has Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes, so autoimmune. I was tested periodically growing up and was never diagnosed with either Type 1 or 2.

Flash forward to having my first child at 25. No gestational diabetes. Second child at 29. Gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. Follow up lab work showed I was back to normal.

Two years later, I rapidly developed severe PSOD. I need an emergency hysterectomy. Lab work shows I’m Type 2. I continued to be Type
2 until another year after that. I landed in the ER in DKA. The ER doctor came charging in my room demanding to know why I wasn’t taking my insulin. I had NO IDEA that i was Type 1. I had gone through a lot of trauma from right before my 2nd child’s birth until moving back home for support. That’s when I landed in the ER. My immune system and pancreas decided they were finished.

It is a major, major struggle.

One last thing: the idea of being abnormal doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It’s like having a super power sometimes.

There is evidence that a Glasgow tram conductress in the 1920's had six fingers on each hand - her family couldn't afford to have the 'extra' ones removed at birth (before the NHS). She is said to have found this an advantage when dealing with drunks (Glasgow was then known for drunkenness at weekends) when she'd challenge the more vocal ones with "You're so drunk you think I have six fingers on this hand". The merry citizen would deny this, and their count usually went "Look, there's one - two - three - four - five - Oh god , six" after which they were usually quiet for the rest of the journey.

I don’t feel any effects of alcohol until I’ve eaten afterward. I’ve never tested the limits, but Ive had 4 shots and 3 beers with no change of how I feel, but as soon as I eat afterwards it hits me all at once and I am completely smoked even if it’s in the morning after.

I’ve hiccuped every day since 2007

Edit: this got more traction than I imagined. They aren’t constant all day long, but they happen every day. I’ve gone to some doctors, they ask if I can eat and breathe fine, I say yes, and that’s about it. The only thing that has helped a little is acupuncture! I don’t hiccup QUITE as much. After this long, I don’t mind it all that much. It’s a good ice breaker when I meet people, and a great drinking game when out with friends 😂.

Smelling sickness isn't that rare, but a lot of people don't know what they're smelling. A lot of diseases smell yeasty, or nutty, or foul. And it seems like most people who can smell different diseases don't necessarily smell them the same, so it's not a great diagnostic. I'm much more impressed by people who can smell snakes, because I can't and have accidentally stepped on more than one while out hiking (obviously I've survived, but very frightening).

You could have hypermobility? I can fold my legs into a double lotus and then walk on my knees . Hypermobility syndrom is a collagen defect, sometimes caused by allergies which can lead to protein deficiency. If you have it in other joints as well, please check out if you need more protein, because when you grow older it can lead to all kinds of joint problems.

I have Linburg-Comstock - a variation of tendons and their connections occurring in the wrist. A study suggested about 30% of the population may have it, and a smaller percentage of those 30% are affected negatively by it (I am). The tendon for the index finger and thumb have an anomalous connection between them, causing the index finger to bend when the tip of the thumb is bent. I would compare it to the connection of the ring and pinky finger, where a lot of folks can't bend their pinky without also pulling the ring finger down (and stretching ring back up is painful and more or less impossible). I'd like surgery, since the LCS affects my main hand and inflammation is a terrible thing to live with...but I'm totally broke and have more pressing medical things to look at.

My body likes to attack my eyes now and again for no reason. I’m currently on hourly steroid drops and painkillers that are a killer for sleep, nothing like an hourly alarm all through the night, the pain is immense and the eye drop painkillers are good but mean I have to wear a patch so I can walk around and not feel sick or fall. I never know when it’ll return and it’s hard for others to understand how nasty / painful it is. I also have the fear of needing to go to work when it happens as I have virtually no access to sick leave.

I had an optic nerve pit on retina, which was leaking spinal fluid into it. I also have a bone spur just above my left knee which I used to have problems with when I played sport in sport in school- orthopaedic surgeon swore that it couldn't possibly cause pain. Plus I have fibromyalgia (probably triggered by my eye surgery when I was 6) so I have muscle pain if I don't get enough exercise, or I do too much. This also causes restless leg syndrome which is a daily pain which magnesium and quinine give some relief for, but not much.
