3 Weird Body Things You Didn’t Know Were Things #cool

Myokymia: This is the involuntary, fine twitching of muscles, often occurring in the eyelid. Though it’s usually harmless, myokymia can be triggered by fatigue, stress, caffeine, or eye strain. It typically affects the lower eyelid but can occur in the upper eyelid as well. Episodes are generally short-lived, though in some cases, they can persist for days or weeks. While uncomfortable and annoying, it usually resolves on its own without treatment.

Superfetation: Superfetation is a rare phenomenon where a woman becomes pregnant again while already pregnant. This happens when a second egg is released and fertilized after the first embryo has implanted in the uterus. The result is two fetuses of different gestational ages developing in the womb. Superfetation is highly uncommon because pregnancy hormones typically stop ovulation from occurring again, and only a few documented cases exist worldwide.

Maladaptive Daydreaming: Maladaptive daydreaming is a condition where an individual experiences excessive, compulsive daydreaming that interferes with daily life. People with this condition may become engrossed in vivid, elaborate fantasies for hours at a time, using daydreaming as a form of escape. While daydreaming is normal, maladaptive daydreaming becomes problematic when it disrupts real-life responsibilities, social interactions, or emotional well-being. It’s often linked to emotional distress, trauma, or other psychological conditions.

Ocular Glare: Ocular glare refers to the discomfort or visual disturbance caused by bright light. It occurs when light scatters in the eye, making it difficult to see clearly, especially in low-light environments such as at night. Conditions like cataracts, astigmatism, or dry eyes can contribute to increased sensitivity to glare. People who experience ocular glare often see halos or streaks around bright lights, such as headlights, making nighttime driving or seeing in bright environments more challenging.

Well if maladaptive daydreaming wasn't so fun, maybe I'd stop

I used to daydream bad scenarios, but I'd get upset so weaned myself from the habit. Lol, it's a silly thing isn't it

😂i assumed everyone prepared themsleves for the worst situations,

[my.fav.no..is..point.]

i maladaptive daydream and i’ve gotten to the point of creating false memories and with it comes a fear and i have to practically record everything i do because im so scared of losing memories

[Sunflowersarepretty]

While i don't find myself being lost in maldaptive daydreaming I have imagined the worst case scenarios and felt like I was in them likey they're my reality. 😂 I also know that you can be pregnant even when pregnant and find it so strange 😅

That eye twitching thing can add to the anxiety… making it harder to fall asleep

[krazyworld]

My eyes twitch all the time. And I constantly daydream. It interfere with my focus and motivation. Id just rather be in my dream world than reality

[laurajefferson]

I thought he was gonna squeeze in the baby MRI for the last one again 😂

[francescocaterino]

Of course I know them all, I've watched the full videos of those before

[mysticwolf]

have it, have it, hope I don’t have it, and only sometimes have it

[mommakimmins]

I get myokemia on a regular basis. I used to maladaptive daydream to help myself fall asleep when my mental health was in the toilet. Now I can't even if I try

[justinweathers]

Actually this is mostly caused by lack of B vitamins and/or potassium

[silkenaria]

Cataracts are in my future because of genetics, and maladaptive daydreaming is actually self care. Maybe not if you're fantasizing about family harm, most just utilize it to escape whatever trauma the body and mind can't handle.

Twitching eye is also a sign of low magnesium

[lpcibij]

I had nonstop eye twitching for couple months. Had such extreme pain i couldn't sleep so it was being blamed on lack of sleep. However I actually had orbital myositis and trochletis. Just wanted to bring attention because i was misdiagnosed by a couple drs and suffered needlessly for 2.5 YEARS. Was found via orbital ultrasound which is not a common diagnostic procedure.

[sirgrotto]

Oh my eye has been twitching like this these past few weeks

[luminvader]

If they made real life better we wouldn't enjoy daydreaming so much lmao

[shareeclifton]

My mum always told me it was lack of vitamin b's.
I'll take a women's multi for a few weeks and it stops
