Tonsilith. Very common.

This happens to me too! I had no idea there was anyone else out there!

Me, too!!! This happened to me several times right after I got sinus infections. A few times I coughed them up, then a few other times I, like you, felt them back there and pulled them out. They smell worse than a roting corpse (which I have also smelled). I finally asked my Dr--- she explained that it is likely gunk/mucus that was built up in the sinus cavitity, hardened, then made it's way into your throat when your sinuses drained. She suggested I use a saline nasal spray, and do a rinse, like a netti pot. I also started using a steam-humidifier in my room at ngiht, and that helped enormously.

So nasty, isn't it?!

FWIW, anytime that you feel them in there, clear them out, then wash your hands and brush your teeth. Don't try to swollow them, or worse "hock" them up. I had one pop once and they taste worse than they smell. Vomitted for hours Sorry if that was TMI...

When I have really intense sex-dreams I orgasm in my sleep. I have NO idea why/how/what happens. I am too embarassed to ask. The only thing I remember changing right before this happened, was the birth control that I used. Different hormones making me more "sensistive"?? I usually wake up sweating, with my fists clenched and my back arched. My husband watched it happen one time, and I woke up to him laughing at me, asking if I was "enjoying myself". I was MORTIFIED. Guess there could be worse things?! LOL

Alcohol flushing. It's common in Asians, but it happens to non-Asians as well.

I orgasm in my sleep too. I'm not embarrassed by it--just very grateful I think it started after I had my kids. I've told DH about it...he thinks I'm lucky too. It is weird, though.

I shed tears when I pee!! Weird.

When I drink or eat too fast and it goes down the "wrong tube," I know that I will immediately sneeze twice once I clear it out. Choke - cough - two sneezes right in a row. Weird.

I also sneeze with the light like the PPs. The thing is that I HATE sneezing. It literally makes me angry for that 1/2 second it takes me to sneeze. So, usually, I just curse. Choke - cough - two sneezes- Sh*t! Or, sunlight - stop - sneeze - Sh*t! Again, weird.

My eyes turn green when I'm angry. A coworker commented on it once as it was happening.

It literally hurts my tongue.
My kids have it too, I think it has something to do with a vitamin deficiency (like b12 or b6).
My kids have it too

Maybe y'all should take some vitamins then.

Some people cannot absorb certain vitamins and can only absorb them via injection. My great grandpa died of pernicious anemia before injectables were common.
