Well later that night my vision started to get fuck-y where everything in my peripherals was spinning and I started to get nauseous and got a wicked headache right behind my eyes and what felt like my whole brain. Went to bed to try to sleep it off but woke up around midnight still with a headache from hell and nausea still in full force. I forced myself to throw up since I couldn’t take the nausea anymore and felt better but the headache was still there. I took 400 mg of ibuprofen to rid the headache(I haven’t taken ibuprofen in literally years since I think it’s a load of horseshit and doesn’t work so for reference taking ibuprofen isn’t a thing I normally ever do.) whether it actually worked or placebo played a role and made me think it worked it felt like the headache was going away



Well,next day, still a headache from hell but no nausea. It took joking with my co-worker to figure that I may have actually given myself a concussion lol.



Top rope heros, I need Your medical help to treat me via MP.



Funny real side story: I somehow convinced myself last night I was dying because I never get headaches and because I have a really good sense of health I figured that it made perfect sense that I somehow had brain cancer and I was gonna keal over and die on the spot. Convinced myself further that welp, if this is the end of the road, dying isn’t too bad, I’ve had worse experiences on psychedelics so this in comparison ain’t shit.



What I learned is headaches don’t mean you have brain cancer (probably) and that throwing up is cool when your tummy hurts



Edit:I don’t think ibuprofen is actually horseshit I just don’t normally take them because I don’t ever feel them work so I don’t think there’s any point for me to take them

I'm starting to think that gyms actually have a good reason for banning them! In all seriousness, do you have a history of concussions? How big were the whippers? I feel like falling's a common enough thing that something funky must have been going on in your situation - did you hit your head on the wall? Whack a biner off of your skull?

I do this all the time but this is the first time I’ve felt for the lack of better words injured. I didn’t hit my head however they were rather large falls probably 25ft or so. I also haven’t had a big history of concussions that I know about maybe only one other time in high school where a kid in wrestling was smashing his forearm into my head repeatedly lol

Did you switch ends after each fall ? What I am getting at is that a dynamic rope will lose a bit of stretch after a longish fall and requires a bit of time to "recover". That is why you should switch ends of a rope after a large fall. If someone were to stress a rope, especially a gym rope that might have seen hundreds of falls already and is a bit worn out (internally, that is), it's possible that the rope had lost quite a bit of it's stretching (and shock absorption) capability, resulting in larger and larger forces on your body after each fall. I can see how that could increase the chance of a mild concussion, esp after repeated 25 footers. Your symptoms do fit those of a mild concussion. Of course, they also fit about 500 other things. If the symptoms persist, I would def seek professional help. Any other symptoms like fatigue, irritability, lack of focus, sensitivity to light or sound or other typical concussion symptoms ?

I'm not sure where you got the idea that ibuprofen is horseshit and a placebo, it and other NSAIDs are probably some of the most studied OTC drugs and have been proven to work. Your receptors may be resistant to them for some reason, but broadly saying they are a placebo is like saying caffeine doesn't stimulate.

Based on what I read in this post, I think you should have your head examined.

The headache starts immediatly after the impact and it was fairly obviious to me what had happened.



Your situation sounds like a migraine from strenious activity and most likely you were dehydrated.... Initially I read this as you were frustrated and gave yourself a concussion by intentionally smashing your head....

I do think however telling myself not to be a bitch helps just as much as taking ibuprofen. It almost never does anything for me that I can feel so I don’t normally take it. Obviously this time was different.

S2k 4life · Joined Sep 2015 · Points: 126 Jan 23, 2019 · B more encoding='utf-8' ? Sensitivity to light is a very common symptom of concussions i recall having...



After the coulple concussions ive had, ive gotten headaches each day there after for up to 3 weeks...one of the best cures ive used and worked right away was going to chriopractor

Your receptors may be resistant to them for some reason, but broadly saying they are a placebo is like saying caffeine doesn't stimulate. I agree with you and fully understand they work. However that being said that doesn’t mean that they make me feel any noticeable difference. Hence me not taking them,I figure if I can’t feel them working why take them anyways. Not saying I’m right I’m saying that’s what I do

Welcome to the club. This, run of the mill migraine. Probably unrelated to your needless falls. Try Excedrin next time.
