Bodily Oddities

Post Reply New Topic

My hand-joints are all fairly loose. I can bend my thumb back like that. My fingers go far back if I just bend them normally, and almost paralell to the back of my hand if I bend them with the other hand. I can also "hook" the outer link of my fingers, my middle- and ring-fingers are especially flexible. I can clap my fingers to my palms, which it seems not everyone can.
I can also spread my toes, even lift things with them.
Other peculiarities include twitches, relatively long arms, and a narrow torso with the left side rib-cage apperently overlapping the other slightly.

When hunting mosquitos I always get flustered (shocked, perhaps) comments on being very quick. I move - and I quote - "Deadly fast", apperently. Maybe because I don't reach out my hands until I strike, I don't know.

My ears are asymmetrical. They stick out on different angles.

They are also different heights at the top because the right one is bent over at the top.

I don't often buy new shoes, so I wouldn't notice.
Some say I have long ears. "Like elf-ears without the pointyness", apperently.

Very strong bones
My left eye is short sighted, but my right eye is long sighted.

1. The ridges inside each ear is different than the other one.
2. Ridiculously small feet (American Size 2 to 4, depending on the brand). It's hard to find shoes that don't light up and don't have cartoon characters on them.

Hey! and what is your foot size?

You got fingertoes! have you measured them? whats your size?

The pulse in my wrist where doctors traditionally try to feel is very weak. Sometimes I've told them to feel it in my neck where it's much stronger, but strangely enough they seem to prefer doing it the "old-fashioned way".

I have had all kinds of problems with my ears. When I was a kid I must have gotten ear tubes put in every month until I was 9 years old. And when I was a teenager I had a really bad mastoid infection in my left ear and had to get overnight surgery at least twice. They doctors also said that my ear canals were not changing their shape like they're supposed to by the time you're an adult that makes them more resistant to infections.

When I've told people my shoe size is a 10, they're surprised and say they don't look that big. Maybe they're just well-proportioned because the rest of me is large as well?

And I'm left-handed. But that's more acceptable than it once was, at least in most developed countries. My parents are also both lefties. My brother is right-handed, so he's the odd one in our family.

I have noticeable gaps between my big toes and second toes. Useful for wearing flip flops and picking up garbage.

I have very large front teeth and an overbite. It used to be much worse but braces made it better.

I have very tiny veins. Doctors always have trouble drawing my blood.

I have amblyopia (lazy eye), astigmatism and one near sighted eye and one farsighted eye. It goes without saying that I'm pretty much blind without my glasses (and I need to use a small TV as a desktop computer monitor).

I'm only 26 but I already have gray hairs. (I got my first gray hair when I was 24)

I have a third nipple and strabismus.

I can flare my nostrils individually, and can flap my ears individually, and retract my uvula on command.

My body is filled with deformities from a genetic bone disease I have. My toes are all twisted on top of one another, my legs are bowed and warped, there are like 50+ bone tumors throughout my body with large ones sticking out of both knees. I also have lots of scars from various surgeries.

My hair on my top of my head changes colour on its own from dark brown to dirty blonde to reddish brown while my beard is red.

my eyes are part brown, part OD green.
