OK, so some girls jumped me on Saturday night when I was wasted... what an easy target I must have been! I can hardly remember what happened, it's such a blur...
Anyway. I've got a few bumps on my head - one next to my eye, one on my temple and one on the right side of my head, and I've felt pretty rough since... except today it''s got loads worse. I've been unbelievably dizzy, with a permanent headache and feeling pretty sick. Even lying down is making my head spin and my stomach turn.
I reckon I might have a bit of concussion? Do I just need to take it easy?
And before anyone mentions it, I won't be getting myself in that kind of drunken state again - lesson well learnt.

2 months ago, a guy from work, his boyfriend banged his head, not even hard, went to bed and never woke up. 23 he was.
not to scare you but please seek help.
:yes:
I've been jumped and got a right bang on the head, was a good couple of days before I got the dizzy spells etc.
Better safe than sorry etc.
Ona more mature note, reading this and typing is doing my nut in though, I keep having to take little breaks and go slow. If it's still dodgy in the morning I'll go the doc.
Cheers x
I'm going first thing in the morning.
You have to swallow your pride on this one, missy. Head = important for being alive. And doctors have seen it all. People get things stuck up their ass ffs. Getting punched in the head while drunk is far, far off their embarrassment scale.
If you're adamant you won't go to the hospital then I would recommend having someone check on you very regularly through the night if the dizzy spells etc are persisting/getting worse... and since I'm sure any willing family members probably won't be wild about performing round the clock nurse duty it's probably the easier option to nip down to A&E if you're worried
But i would go down to the hospital, take a mate (one that can drive you) and then make a night of it kinda thing...not too exciting i know, but better than your own.
Please go babes, for everyone elses sake!
take care love

Head and brain = important.
I didn't sleep very well and woke up feeling just the same - just a lot more sick! So I phoned my doctors, explained what was wrong, and was pretty much told I was stupid for leaving it for four days and they had no appointments til Friday... so I went to A&E. Had a brain scan, they found my brain (typical Dad joke!) anyway, everything is normal so they just put it down to concussion and told me to take the rest of the week off work.
Thanks for everyone's replies xxx
Cheers mate!
Haha!
I'm glad your alright. Just chill and stay off the booze!
Still, on the plus side it seems to have brought me a lot of female attention
Feel better soon!
The poor guy at work has just handed his notice in
James - don't worry mate, I'll be laying off the booze for a while! At least I won't be getting in that kind of state again. I feel like a right cupid stunt!
Vicky - I'm really sorry for your mate, really really sorry. No-one deserves to go like that, I can't imagine how hard that's hit him.
