Alien Hand Syndrome: When a Limb Goes Rogue

I t ru u no.Sorry, my hand did misbehave

My brother-in-law's mother had this issue with her left hand, after a stroke.She could be just relaxing in the kitchen chair, he'd walk by her & her hand/arm would whip out and weasel tap him. Poor guy, I can't help but chuckle about it. Thinking about him telling me about her hand. 😆

"My hand is raping me!"

So, some medications can cause temporary alien hand syndrome. What would cause that? Since it isn't permanent, brain damage seems unlikely to me. Could it be a neurotransmitter issue in those cases?(Iirc, the medication in question was a sleep med, prescribed to a narcoleptic, if that helps any. Don't know which one, specifically, and I might be backwards - it could have been a daytime stimulant, not a sedative.)

So half the lady's brain wanted to die. Or at least kill the other half.

Makes me think of that old movie where some dudes hand just starts to kill people on its own. Wish I could remember what it was called. Anybody know?

Alien hands syndrome can be your wing man. Like ur at a movie and al of a sudden you arm wraps around the lady next to you. Boom wing man. Or should I say wing arm.

That was one hairy arm getting the coffee, damn

Lmfao a spirit orb entered her brain then started to control her body in an attempt to kill her. She was weak minded

The scariest thing this could do, or me, isn't my hand randomly trying to kill me.It's that my hand could, at any moment, reach out and get me convicted of sexual assault.

This brings a whole new meaning to "why are you hitting yourself"

I spent most of this video glaring at my right hand suspiciously. I've got an eye on you, dirty traitor.

Once i had this happen running to school, i think i got a Olympic metal

Give your alien hand a rubic's cube.....

I have it but with my legs and sometimes my legs just won’t move and I fall down

I have occasional minor cases of this with my right hand. If something enters my right peripheral vision, sometimes my right hand will try to smack it away sometimes without my permission or even awareness. I never put sharp objects in righty unless I am able to devote full concentration to it, because it's actually stabbed my left hand a few times in my life.It goes far beyond the fact that I'm left handed, because of how almost purposeful the movements can be.

I wanna undress girls

....so it wasn't demons?

Ms garrison from south park isnt crazy after all

Sounds likes some type of horror show lol

so basically your hand acts like an octopuses arm reacting to what it could do as what it will do.

So.. Ultra instinct? From the way it was described as "it breaks down the barrier between, I could do this and I will do this" just imagining doing something makes your hand do it without conscious thought.

Just get the hand cut off by a doctor!

What would this be like with prosthetic limbs

What happens if the brain went rogue?

If I had an alien hand, I'd name it "Thing."

CGP gray has made a video about this

Thanks for giving me an excuse for dropping my computer

Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

wrong, idts. no worry can relax no matter what. no such thing as fluenx or not, speakx/can spx any by any no matter what and it can all be perfx

It's 1908... you want to type a comment on the internet... on a computer... and your hand slaps you

lol I usually twitch or I slap myself

One time my EAR started doing some weird stuff in a FUNERAL and they asked me WTH IS WRONG WITH ME!?!?!?!

That happened in a movie I saw once! He had to chop the hand off with a chainsaw, then replace it WITH said chainsaw!

Huh... This is interesting

when ever you wake up in the morning and maybe you slept on your arm and goes completely numb it might feel like that XDD I've tried to grab my phone to turn off my alarm with my numb right arm and it goes shooting right past it XD

I was going to the trash bin to throw away a bag then i got distracted and threw it the toilet.I have this disease

Just don't look at your hand then your hand wont know where it's going

Hmm maybe Luke had that aye?

What they don't tell you of the 1st example is, the woman invoked a demon, became demon-possessed, & then lost control of her hand, as it viciously tried to attack her. What they don't tell you about the dimentia patients is, they lose control of their system, though it's not alien hand syndrome, as it's actually dimentia.

What if I am left handed... is it opposite or the two last the same?

That was someone’s topic for the Tropicana speech in my 6th grade class. (It was cool) 🙂

Migi, Handle the defense!

I have it but with my legs and sometimes my legs just won’t move and I fall down

Hi I'm Jeffrey and this is George.

Maybe thats why people have wet dreams????

omg brit can i have your shirt?Or at least an address on where to find one? :D

No mention of Dr. Strangelove? For shame!

I know I probably shouldn't ask this, but for sake of curiosity: For the thoughts of "I could do this" turning into "I will do this" – is it possible for them to go as extreme as, say, "I could kill someone" to "I will kill someone"? Or, maybe on a smaller scale, like, "I could break this" to "I will break this"? Just for sake of curiosity, and I'm willing to bet there are others thinking the same.

So like when I neck my friend and then yell MUSCLE SPASM... does that count?

This is one of those things where you think "no, that can't be real." but it is a real thingAlso the metal image of your hands dunking it out is amazing.

Oh, I get this sometimes. Tho it's far more subtle, like playing quietly w something and only after a while do I notice, or if my cat attacks it ^^;
