we better

Did you have it concurrent with the headaches? I had it after the headache(I say headache, singular, because it never went away) stopped about 6 weeks post-concussion.

I basically had a 3 year long migraine from it. And yes, the nausea-causing, constant splitting pain type of migraine. I was basically eating Ibuprofen like it was M&M's at one point.

The migraines come back once in a while and it's really intense. I can hardly function when I get them and I do occasionally experience mild vertigo.

I used to make fun of Sandy Cramsby, but I honestly know what he went through now and I'm surprised he came back as quick as he did.

My vertigo comes from Meniere's disease (no known cure, you just have to manage it), which I got out of nowhere in 2015. Thankfully, the vertigo attacks are infrequent, and seem to coincide with wintertime ... which is odd. Seems like every December comes around, and boom, vertigo attacks. I've had to lie on the filthy bathroom floor at work for hours a few times. There's nothing else you can do, but sweat like crazy, somehow freeze while you're sweating, and vomit for about 3 hours, all while lying on a filthy floor. You just want someone to come by and shoot you in the head. Hoping Scandella's vertigo is "just" from a concussion.

ANYway, on that happy note, go Sabres !

Holy poop dude that's nuts

But the winter thing isn't so odd, I always had issues in the cold with my ears, and as a child and teenager experienced light-headedness if exposed to the cold for too long without ear protection.

Thank god my vertigo didn't include vomiting, but everything else you described sounds about right. I remember leaving my house one day to walk up to Wendy's a few blocks away, and I literally had to sit down in the middle of the road and crawl to the sidewalk and lay there for like 45 minutes until finally the symptoms got manageable enough to half-crawl/half-walk back to my apartment and lay down.

Luckily I live don 42 and 1/2 street at the time and the most traffic that street saw was random dudes getting road head driving 5 MPH

Weirdly the symptoms didn't get bad for 3 or 4 days, then I locked myself in my dark bedroom like 22 hours a day for like one and a half, 2 months.

I had cluster headaches where I wanted to gouge my eye out for years post concussion, but, thankfully, I haven't had one in a long time. Now it's just the usual run of the mill headaches. I still get mild migraines once in a while too, but I've always had those. Mild in that the pain isn't too bad, just like a normal headache, but I get sensitive to light, headlights are like laser beams boring straight into my skull, and I get the "fuzzies" at the periphery of my vision.

It's no bullpoop, bad concussions. I had to miss almost all of my freshman year of college because of it.

Do you remember the actual concussion? I remember every second of it, kind of in stop motion, like 3 of every 4 frames missing. I obviously don't remember the being unconscious bit, but just before and after are crystal clear, which, apparently, is quite unusual.

I took 1600mg of ibuprofen a day for 6 years straight. It screwed up my liver, so I can't take it anymore.

Thank you all for your service. Welcome home.

I remember it vividly and it's basically a 2-hour long, slow-motion, exact photographic memory of the event.

That’s freaky. I’ve never heard it explained like that before. I played goal for 15 years and never had a concussion or hip problems, thankfully. I cant Imagine having to deal with that. Unreal.

My brother-in-law was in a study he helped to run about concussions, PCS, and getting back to a normal life. His part was where he'd have people come in and do some light exercising on an arm bike to see when and how badly they'd get nauseous. He'd do an ultrasound of their temporal arteries.

But he said that most of them didn't remember it at all, some only remembered waking up. We're talking serious concussions with LoC in minutes, -not the new definition where every time you hit your head and see stars is a concussion- and only a couple remembered the full event.

I have no memory loss from before or for the first day after. Memory of the stuff we did the next day, like waiting for the hazmat team to clean up my blood at the public bathrooms and leave. We were in a cabin in the Fingerlakes, and my concussion happened outside the bathrooms. I have ~1.5" vertical scar right on the crown of my forehead, half below the hairline half above it, and being super drunk on top of getting a cut there it bled and bled and then bled some more. But waiting for them to leave before I went outside, because while I definitely should've gone to at least a doctor I didn't feel like dealing with their poop. But after that things get fuzzy. I remember a little of what we did that day. Don't remember any of the next until I stopped by my parents on the way home to give them the news. I remember the doctor and the CT, but after that it all blends together for a few years. Pretty much the only thing I remember was the Sabres runs after the lockout. That's when it started coming back. My short term memory is still spotty at times though. Some things get through, some things I totally forget and I wasn't like that before.

Concussions can eat a d¡ck.

It's really weird. For me it was like a low quality security camera, all herky-jerky, and also slow motion.

I have nothing to add here.

I have a great Pun headline, its not mine so I take no credit for it, but when Dahlin has his next beaut of a goal, the head line read (in your best clementine song voice(

rochester won 2-1

bailey with 2 first period goals

johansson stopped 26 out of 27 shots

sorry to hear that.
sounds like it is affected by sunlight. is it affected by diet at all?
- Angler

Thanks for asking. I'm not supposed to have too much sugar or too much salt - salt is bad for this. Also, caffeine and chocolate are a no-no ! I do stay away from caffeine, but chocolate is God's greatest creation on Earth so that's a tough one to stay away from. I really need to eat better though - eating like a pig doesn't help (omg i'm such a pig - thank God I go to the gym 5 days a week though). I do think the removal of caffeine from my diet has helped - that and the exercise.

All that being said, lets hope Scandella's vertigo goes away ... so we can trade him ! I mean, so he feels better. Yeah, that's it ...

Oh my Dahlin, oh my Dahlin,

I chuckled. Except i'd change "rising" to "franking" - kind of giving it a Tenacious D feel to it.

Yes, I expected more. This line gives him a chance to be a little more creative though, playing with Thompson. Could be a spark for him
