i blacked out and fell down the stairs

[Titania]

i bumped my head play fighting with DH about 2pm, then passed out when i tried to get up. I tried to take myself down the stairs only i blacked out again and fell down the stairs. I was out for about 20 minutes according to DH and dd was crying cos she thought I had died. I fell asleep as well and was really cold. I jarred my back and bumped my head again and twisted my ankle. Someone said I could have concussion. I fell asleep afterwards too. I feel bruised, shaky and sick now. Am just looking on MHS website about blackout and am now very scared. Its happened a few times in the past few weeks without having panic attacks.

Great anniversary im having!

Titiana - I think you should be at A&E or your GPs right now. Do not leave this any longer. It may be nothing; it may be something much more serious. 20 minites is such a long time.

I also think you need to speak to your Dh about this much more. You need some exact info - the GP will need to know exactly what happened anyway, not just guesses. I have to say that I would be furius (not just upset) with Dh if he left me, with no medical attention, for any length of time in such a potentially dangerous situation. I would be considering his inactions as very serious and wondering where it left our relationship. I do not think it is normal for a Dh to take no action...and then to leave you on your own, woth children to care fore, today.

Go to your GPs or A&E right now. You have to be careful in situations like this.

Have you phones NHS direct? What did they say?

I think she is offline now guys, she said she was going to try and wash her hair.

Hope the GP can shed more light on this for her. Must be extremely scary.

whats the betting that she will pass out again while washing her hair?

Erm dunno rickman.

I'm finding this hard to believe TBH, there is no way my DH would leave me for such a long time without medical advice, and if she is washing her wash has she gone upstairs???

hair, hair....

that doesn't mean it didn't happen!
Just because we, or our dh/dp's would have done the right thing and phoned an ambulance does not mean that titania;s would have!

I don't quite believe this thread .. how bizarre

maybe, I think Titania needs help outside MN...

I am not going to post on this thread, I am not going to post on this thread, I am not going to post on this thread.......

as I, and others, have been pointing out for some time...

Leave it out you lot, it isn't gonna help Titania.

yes, she does need help. not people ridiculing her.

nutcracker, nothing we can do is going to help titania

But there is no need to take the pee though is there ??

I think Titania is quite aware of the reaction she will get on here actually, and I am sure part of it is the thrill of having people fighting over her, sadly.

Oooo just thought, Rickman, i needed to ask you something, are you on msn ???

Is there noone on MN who knows Titiana, or lives close enough, to help her out - bu simply going round to sit with her whilst she is on her own with those children?

OK. I am. My five cents worth is this:

I think that Titania has huge problems that cannot be properly resolved over the internet. I think there is a fine line between sisterly support and a sinister complicity.

I think Titania deserves and needs more than we can give.....
