Anywhoo ive been a bit nauseous but nothings happened just wondered if you all have some tips to sort this ou.
A&E
A&E FFS.
Go back to sleep it? only a dream
Have you been to hospital? Might be wise.

We need details, if you can remember... 😉
Get well soon!
they closed our local hospital.. and its a snow day and my parents are at work so getting fars an issue.
@bananaworld it was just a high speed standing up next second on head accident.. i think i made more distance on my head than i did standing up.
Get to A&E straight away even if it means paying for a taxi. I am sure your parents wouldn't mind forking out for the fare if you can't afford it.
ok
Call NHS direct & see what they suggest
But snow or not, I'd want to be looked at for that & I never normally bother with docs etc.
Let us know how you get on - you really should take risks with what really does sound like concussion.
Standing up on a sledge - how could that [i]possibly[/i] go wrong...?
Call NHS direct & see what they suggest
ime, wait for 3 hours for someone to call you back, at which point they tell you to go to A&E. With head injuries, no question, go straight to A&E.
i never bother going to a+e
feel groggy for a bit ....
i never bother going to a+efeel groggy for a bit ....
Just like Natasha Richardson did? On a nursery slope IIRC.
Proceed directly to A&E, do not pass go, do not collect £200 and definitely DO NOT JUST GO TO SLEEP.
Where do you live .duncan. I'm reckon some kind soul on here might give you a lift if it's convenient. Class way to injure yourself BTW, proper job!
one other thing
Call your parents eh?
Judging by the original post brain functions are impaired. A & E, NOW.
*bump*
any news from the OP ??
I doubt it - he will have forgotten about posting in the first place 😉
I just hope the kid got to A+E... sounds like he really did himself in.
I am with you there - it did sound pretty serious but he did seem to be taking our advice so hopefully he did (didn't mean to sound too flippant in the last post).
no harm, no foul.
anyone know Mr Duncan Philpott, of Hemel hempstead? give him a call?

sounds like a good kid too... despite being stupid.. ( weren't we all? )
I had a nasty case of concussion after a bike accident. I kept repeating myself immediately after the accident but all i can remember is coming round in hospital not knowing what the heck was going on. earliest thing i could remember before the accident was about 6 months before it happened!!
gradually over the course of the day my memory came back but like the OP i felt very groggy, thoughts were confused and i kept feeling like i'd pass out any minute. i was so worried i'd not wake up that i called the nurse using the button but that didn't do much good as she spoke french, then i remembered i was on holiday!
anyway, i did wake up and was basically fine although kept having flashbacks for a month or so.
i was wearing a helmet too, but it wasn't full face so didn't do very much as it was mainly my face that hit the ground.
hehe kinda forgot about this thread.
All went well, got pretty bad whiplash though!
thanks for the advice 🙂
good to hear you are up and about.
but quick.. look.. whats that over there *pointing sharp left*
Glad to see your sorted, I had visions of your parents walking in and hearing a beeping noise. They walk into where your computer is and your slumped with your fingers on the keyboard the screen on STW says.
Ok, thanks for adive to A+EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
I had server concussion when at school along time ago and ended up staying in hospital for 2 nights for observation. Strangely one of the problems was I couldn't stop being sick.
[i]Strangely one of the problems was I couldn't stop being sick. [/i]
Strangely it's one of the symptoms of head injuries. 😆
Good job i'm not a doctor 😉
