    Joke’s on you, I don’t have that reflex. I’ve gotten some concerned looks from doctors.

      My left side doesn’t respond, but test the right and the left jerks. Confuses every doctor who tests it, and a couple have called in colleagues to witness.

      The kicker (ha!) There is a trigger near my neck, and another in my lower back that causes the left leg to kick. I’ve warned physiotherapists and doctors about it, and kicked a couple when they find the trigger point.
