In fact, that is the most recent "OMG, WTF?" reaction I've had, was looking at it the other day in weird light, and not only was it all swollen up again, but you could see my heartbeat throbbing through the lump. Ugh, ugh, ugh.

I DID THIS IN COLLEGE! It wasn't anything to do with alcohol, I just flopped over while peeing. I got carted (against my will) to the ER, and the doctors thought I was messed up on drugs. Did a whole bunch of tox. screenings, made me stay for observation overnight. Eventually they told me they'd only ever seen this happen to very, very old patients.

I don't have any first-hand accounts of really weird shit, except for the time my sister woke up with purple bruises all around her eyes. Her doctor later said she had lupus, but the weird shit went away and never came back. The weirdest thing I get are flashing lights in my eyes.

I spent this morning hawking up bits of phlegm that resembled pieces of food. I don't mind my brown-yellow bits of sick coming out in magma form, but when the stuff SCRATCHES MY THROAT coming up, I get worried.

This past summer, one day I noticed that one of my toenails was totally blue. You'd think I would've known how this had happened. But, no. So I left it alone for a couple of days and then, in the process of checking it out (with numerous scary scenarios running through my head, including that kids in the hall sketch), found that most of the toenail lifted off and there was a new toenail growing away underneath! It was the feeling of lifting something that should not be lifted that made me say holyshitwtf though.

It did feel good when she finally got the tip of my penknife under it and got it out. The "omg wtf" was when I got a look at the thing.

I've had a sebaceous cyst on my back for a while, it's just a lump of "stuff" under the skin, about the size of the top half of my thumb. I showed it to a doctor about 5 years ago, because one had recently appeared on the back of my neck as well. That one went nova and drained itself over a week of ruined shirts. He said the one on my back was no problem, so we've been living peacefully since. Going back to the doctor about something else a few weeks ago, I mentioned that it has started turning irritable, making it difficult to sleep on my back. He set an appointment for surgical removal, and gave me some antibiotics, which I took for 5 days and then lost (blast!).
So last weekend it really started acting up, so that I couldn't sit back in my armchair, or twist my back more than a certain degree (EG have to raise my leg to tie my shoe) without sharp pain from the pressure building up. I was curious, so I tried taking a photo of it, and after a lot of bother got one, which revealed spots of yellow among the red, like pimples forming on it. Sunday night was lousy, but I finally got to sleep, and when I got up I could tell that the pressure had eased off a little. So I get ready for the shower, and I take off the shirt and realise in a slowmotion horror style why it's eased off, because a lot of the pimples have actually burst. So I grimace a bit and put the shirt back on, head down to the nearest chemist to get some big gauze plasters, which I've been reapplying after every shower.
The problem with applying the plasters, or even clearing the area, is that it's right in that bit of my back where I can't easily reach from any angle. Also I can't find large plasters, most of the ones I've found are for example 8cm x 10cm except that's almost all adhesive, and it's actually 4cm x 5cm of gauze, which is about wide enough but nowhere near as long. But I have some which are about the right size, and I apply them, and they come off with yellow gunk on them. And last time the gunk is a bit red as well, because I fucked up the placement and there was a bit of adhesive (IE the bit any pressure is distributed to) on a red patch. So I shower, then head back into the bathroom to remove from my body as much nefarious stuff as possible before reapplying. I can't really bring a lot of pressure on the site by the standard chicken-wings method of putting both arms behind me and pressing, in fact the easiest way seems to be to bend over forwards and apply some tension with a comic muscleman flexing of the arms. This today has an effect which is subtly but indescribably different to how it's worked the last few times, and I gain the insight that maybe one of the pimples has actually hit the motherlode half a second before I look over at the mirror and see/feel about a tablespoon of gunk (some yellow/green, some red, all smelling like absolute death) pop out of my back and start heading determinedly south.

I had this nasty experience (common with a friend of mine who'd cracked his) that it got better for a while then suddenly worse, we think because of liquid building up around the area.

Worst wtf: I accidentally popped a blister on my finger at work, and the blister splooge sort of jumped about three feet out of my finger and hit the computer screen of the guy sitting next to me. I managed to wipe it off without him noticing.
Apart from that, my neck makes loud noises when I type to much, kind of like someone's shaking lots of dice inside me. I hate that.
