I think Dizzyness and Vomiting. No pain but just not nice. Any others?

Chronically itchy arse hole isn't pleasant

When all the blood rushes to your foot after it's been asleep for a while.

NX-74205 · 05/09/14 - 18:32

The constant itching you get with severe eczema.

luckylila · 05/09/14 - 18:37

Dread or fear.

I guess it's sort of painful, but when tin foil (or similar) comes into contact with your tooth fillings. Shudder.

Oh, and that horrible sinking-stomach feeling that you get when you unexpectedly discover something unpleasant, but have to keep on reading/talking etc. I remember the day I discovered messages on my partners computer, and the sinking feeling when it became clear where the messages were leading was absolutely horrific, yet I absolutely needed to keep on reading anyway.

Or your arm and it just flops.

Musty smells as I have a very strong sense of smell.

The feel and sound of sharpening a knife.

Pins and needles.

When ice cream freezes the roof of your mouth. I can't exactly describe it as a pain, but I still feel as if I'm going to die.

Ahh yes, brainfreeze! I recently discovered that pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth gets rid of that pretty quickly!

Oh no it doesn't. That's the always first thing I try. I wonder if it can actually kill you.

Panic attacks. I reckon they out-weigh anything except very severe pain.

I have a friend who has a high-level complete spinal injury, ie no movement or feeling below the chest. Theoretically you could cut his leg off and he wouldn't feel it. Except that he does. He has never quite been able to convey the feeling, but without knowing where the pain is, he knows that something very unpleasant has happened to his body. (I don't mean that people keep cutting his legs off. Urinary tract infections are the normal thing.)

Sleep paralysis, absolutely terrifying.

It's a temporary inability to move or speak that happens when you are waking up or, less commonly, falling asleep.The paralysis can last from a few seconds to several minutes.

It's happened when I've been lying on my back and I can't move, I try to move a few inches so if I slip off the bed it'll wake me up.

Oh no!!! It worked for me at least!

I can't imagine it could kill you, though it'd be a pretty lame way to die if you could. Death by ice-cream.. :[

Nausea. Depression. Grief.

Chewing tin foil

Has anyone else ever 'caught' a nerve in their neck when they turn their head a long way to look at something behind them? I used to get it quite often as a child but can't remember the last time it happened.

That is terrifying especially when accompanied by the sensation of someone or something sitting on your chest..that's disturbing. Seemingly screaming but no sound is uttered..

I don't like a 'panic' adrenaline rush when you are halfway through and interview and the mind goes blank..you were doing so well up until then..nooooo! It comes with sweaty palms that type of horribleness..

Yikes...

TheSilentFez · 05/09/14 - 20:03

I obviously haven't experienced this, but the sensation of knowing that your death is imminent (and knowing the exact time and date) and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it must be awful.
Such as before an execution.

Hey there!
