TRIGGER WARNING! Do not read this if you’re a sensitive sort.

I had to have a neurological test the other day as I’ve been suffering continuous fasciculations and whole muscle twitches for several months. Motoneurones were my area of expertise so I was pretty certain it was probably idiopathic and nothing to worry about, but my mother died of Motor Neurone Disease, so I was being cautious. In the absence of any other symptoms it’s probably nothing but I have a specialist appointment in about a year () to be sure.

Episodes like this, slightly change one’s perspective on life. Those with terminal illness often have an incredible ‘understanding’ of life. In fact, I’d die for insight like that

If I did have MND I’d have to think about how I’d dispatch myself before the atrocious suffering begins and this was something I discussed with my GP. Technically, it’s not an easy thing to do in the U.K. at the moment.

No sympathy required by the way.

Best of luck for your test

Hope everything turns out alright man. I don't know much about that type of stuff, but I'm hoping things will work out for the good

This man was finally and dramatically arrested for repeatedly running out of restaurants without paying for his meals (1991). The video went worldwide because of his comments during the arrest. I even have an old mug that says “A succulent Chinese meal?” He died yesterday…

I bet that guy was a legend at parties.

I’m pretty sure it’s ok.

Does anyone else suffer from fasciculations and full muscle twitches? I have them every couple of seconds. After a session in the gym their frequency and amplitude increases, but of course, muscle cell membranes are damaged and become a bit leaky so more likely to fire off an action potential (electrical impulse).

I was flipping through the tv channels yesterday and stumbled upon a show on one of the ESPN channels called “Car Jitsu.”

Two guys, both BJJ brown belts who compete, had a roll in the front seat of a compact car. Only way to win is by submission.

It must have a rather limited audience, but it was different, I’ll give them that.

This sounds interesting I'll have to look online for that. Have you ever seen wheelchair boxing?

I had not. Until watching that. That’s gotta be tough to do.

I saw that too. On “the Ocho”. Had seen some YouTube videos here, but hadn’t seen anything on tv before this.

One of the most interesting things, to me, is the rules allowed them to use parts of the car- one guy choked out the other guy with the seat belt harness.

I've done light MMA style sparring in a car before. It forces you to be very aware of your available space. You do not want to get squashed into a corner with your structure compromised.

Like fighting on a city bus…seen that a couple times. Saw a girl whoop a man to the floor in front of his friends for popping off. He needed to be carried off the bus.

Well it's Friday night folks. Spent some time playing some board games with my dad. Then make some rice krispie treats. Just relaxing right now, probably going to watch a movie. Hope you all are doing good. On a side note read an article the other day, and in it was "one of If not the biggest fan of bloodsport" that guy had watched it at least 300 times. I'm a big fan of it too but I think he has me beat on that one. Also starting a bucket list, I figure now is a good time.

…and that gear stick can potentially give you a non-surgical prostatectomy!

I am also a big fan of Bloodsport and have probably watched it about 30 times. It never gets old

I bought it on DVD a couple of years ago but have never watched it!

You've never watched Bloodsport? It's JCVD at his peak! A great classic martial arts movie. You should watch it soon, I think you will enjoy it
