i like to train to release stress... nothing like a little sparring and grappling to get your frustration out... also love getting beat up everynow and then. dont know why but i like getting hit. its humbling.

I've been getting it once a week because it's not been stable. Blood too thick, blood too thin, back and forth. Pain in my arse.

It's due to a blood clotting disorder. And since I've already had a blood clot too, I'm on medication for life. :hmph:

[COLOSSUS]

Wow i would have never thought... you always seemed pretty fit to me... sorry here that tho. you have any idea on what caused it, if you dont mind me asking.

let me know if its getting too personal. i dont mean to pry i am just curious.

No worries at all. It's a genetic disorder, my father has it as well. I never really thought twice about it until I got a blood clot back in August. If I'd had one or the other (clot or disorder), it wouldn't be as big of a concern. But because of the two, I'm a blood thinner lifer. Like l said, it's a pretty big pain in the butt. Lots of maintenance, no hormones (birth control, HRT when I'm older, etc), and meds every day - which I can't stand!

No hormona? Fuck that! Dirty filt docs taking away hormonas!
