Aren’t nurses lovely
You won’t be saying that when TJ is snapping on his rubber gloves and looming over you
He would get a free massage and hug though 😉
Dez if this gets really serious ,leave me your music collection 🙂
FAST = Face (Drooping), Arm (Cannot raise above shoulder), Speech (Slurred), Time (To dial 999).
In my cass (Actual TIA) the only one that presented was arm but it was still enough for doctors to take it very seriously.
Dez - Can you update this thread with the bikes you own. Ooh and stereo equipment too. That way we can fight over who gets what.
Dez, if this gets really serious, please don’t leave me your music collection
funkmasterp gets the Dansette. Perchy gets the PiL collection 🙂
In light of DebZ’s travails, I thought I’d check my HR data. It’s ok though, wrist based always read a bit low don’t they? 😬

32?? you’re either on the way out or on the way back! 😆
That's a real ****ing into a coma progression. Allegedly...
Definitely the former DebZ. Ooooh me ****in knees!
Not to pike on to the already good advice (don't f%*@ about with strange symptoms, even less f&#@ about with sudden onset strange symptoms). I used to play football with a mate who buggered up his ankle. Complained that it was taking a long time to get better. Did physio for a couple of months, felt better, started playing. Me and another guy could see right away he wasn't right, could stop, or turn well, took ages to settle his balance to receive or pass the ball, because of his "good" leg not the bad ankle. We both told him to get the other leg looked at. Mentioned it to his physio who told him to see his GP. Week later sees GP. GP books him in for a nerve conductance test. Week later bikes to hospital for test. 4 and 1/2 minutes after test begins is trussed up like an s &m chicken and on way to operating theatre. 5 hours later having had 3 ribs permanently removed and surgeon having had a good rummage around he is alive. Turns out the nerve being impinged was the one that caused his heart to beat and lungs to breathe. As surgeon told his wife, a bad sneeze, wrong movement, or bump on his bike and he would just cease to be.
TL:DR. Strange symptoms should not be ignored. Ever.
I did think it weird that no nurses/ docs were interested in my damaged ribs...
Will chat at QA (spit) tomorrow.
5 hours later having had 3 ribs permanently removed
Like Marilyn MAnson? Has he tried yet?
Hasn’t Cher had her ribs removed ?
funkmasterp gets the Dansette. Perchy gets the PiL collection
Thanks DezB. In all seriousness have you felt okay since your rubbish crash?
Has he tried yet?
After he finished the very long list of things he wasn't allowed to do any more (ribs protect your essential organs from damage but they also kind of hold stuff 'in') I was too depressed to ask. Lost touch with him know unfortunately so I'll never know. Thankfully.
In all seriousness have you felt okay since your rubbish crash?
All good thanks funkmaster.
Off to a gig now. I might forgo the moshing tonight 😉
Take it easy.
I don’t want to be forced to listen to questionable post-punk albums
Its a bit sad that i spotted , but i pass that place where you crashed regularly... Portsdown Hill...
Dez also rode into a tree , at speed. Broke his neck , then rode home like you do with a broken neck .
Dez also chinned a skinny Northshore log annd launghed it off.
Dez is proper hard . Falling off as WCA transplanted his knackered leg onto him vicariously wont stop him ,no siree.

I did consider it myself but on consideration decided it'd be way easier just to suck someone else off.

Feel absolutely fine (except maybe a cold coming on).
Not to worry you. But a colleague had a similar "weird" incident where he dropped his pint in the pub. Shrugged it off as a pint too many.
Woke up with "a bad cold" (a bit slow and talking like his nose was blocked) and came into work, we drove him straight to the Dr's who bundled him into an ambulance.
Within a couple of months he was in a hospice and hasn't gotten out of bed unaided since with pretty much every bodily function done through a tube. Turned out to be a tumor.
Don't eff about.
Hey, you still alive Dez?
Similar thing happened to my mum a couple of years ago, no pint involved though. She started to shuffle a bit when walking, seemed to be getting forgetful and had a"cold" which lingered for weeks. When she put a pork joint in the oven with its wrapping still on and set fire to it, I took her to AE thinking TIA. Turned out to be a tumour and she was gone within a week.
Crikey, this has taken a bit of a dark turn! Is anyone local and able to go and see if Dez is still with us?
Our FD at work was a bit under the weather for a while, headaches and brain fog, thought it was 'flu... then one day a few weeks ago she wasn't in work and on contacting her husband he said he hadn't been able to rouse her... off work for a couple more weeks and then we find out she had a brain tumour and died at the weekend.
In short - don't mess about if your brain seems to be acting up! You may not have time to put off going to the doctor about it...
I’m in the TIA clinic waiting to see the consultant (to get the all clear 😁) at this very moment.
Jolly good
perchy and funkmasterp will be relieved to hear that
Glad you got yourself checked out, hope it is all clear
I thought I’d check my HR data.
Are you on EPO? Be honest now.
You realise you now have the dubious accolade of being a forumite who has to post something every few hours otherwise we'll all think you're dead.
every few hours
Every few hours? It's been 48 minutes and I'm getting concerned.
😂
Still waiting for the consultant 😡
You should have taken a book to read.
Not a long one, obviously.
QA?
I was in and out in 15mins last Thursday having had a scan...
But it is Friday..
And I had a 4G signal in radiography..
📸📱
Yeah, QA - most of it was really quick and efficient, weirdly enough!
So the "verdict" is in, suspected TIA - they have to treat it as that cos it's the most likely explanation. Got a weird heartbeat going on, so have some drugs for that and stuff. Can't drive for a month, but apart from that no other precautions need to be taken. So you can be fit and eat healthy and still your body will randomly **** up on you. What a laugh.
Good thing is, I suppose, that I feel just fine, so I'll be riding and reffing and stuff like normal.
Amazing support from you lot on here - thanks so much for all the advice and laughs and that (only saw STM's post today, brilliant 😆 - but he's right, it ain't gonna stop me!) So thanks all. Big group hug (not too tight though).
Off to play "Is This It" 😀
Dez
Could be a blessing mate, all the best sir.
Glad to hear all is well you massive bell-end.
Cool
Did you get a finger rammed up your arse though ?
Did you get a finger.....
Seems like maybe you need a new doctor (dentist?) if that is a regular diagnostic test for yours. Mental image of Joey Tribianni's family tailor from "Friends"
Good to hear the reassuring news. Take good care of yourself.
Just don't be bloody weird again, OK ? Stay upright,
Thank god you listened.. plenty of knowledge on here, lots of folk had shoot happen. Good to ensure its passed on.
Glad you’ve finally seen a professional. Take it easy Mr B
Glad you’ve finally seen a professional
Yeah, me too. I really hate John Lydon.
Good thing is, I suppose, that I feel just fine, so I’ll be riding and reffing and stuff like normal.
That is is very very good news 👍👍💪
I was all “QA/hospitals” are rubbish n all, but actually the QA is a pretty damn fine place to be all ill n stuff.
Does this mean no “jingly jangly” music for a while? 🤣
Thats gonna hurts more right 🤪
Have a search for "The Fittest bodies in the Morgue", basically lots of (very well) hidden conditions that can strike anyone.
Did you get a finger…..
Only when we got home 😋
*resets timer to 45 minutes*
Have a search for “The Fittest bodies in the Morgue”,
Can’t find them on Spotify

Try Bandcamp. The second album is the best
Nah. too heavy 😉
Minor update - ref’ed the under 14s this morning, everything worked as it should, solid hour of sprinting, dodging and whistle blowing (in the literal sense). The dicky ticker coped just fine. And the match was a draw 🙂
Good to hear Dez, crack on!
Did you get a finger rammed
That's only available through private medicine with a TIA, so I'm told!
While this is on the bump - anyone had an arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation type) treated?
Mine seems to be like a person 20 years older. Quite fancy a nice electric shock.
NHS info: "it tends to affect certain groups of people, such as those over 65.
It may be triggered by certain situations, such as drinking too much alcohol or smoking."
0 out of 3 ain't bad 🙁
While this is on the bump – anyone had an arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation type) treated?
I haven't but I'm pretty sure arrhythmia causes strokes so the one could have lead to the other.
Just out of interest, am I right in thinking that keeping hydrated reduces the chance of a stroke? Have the docs mentioned that?

So more of an FIA then?
Ton's your man for AF. A few others on here also have experienced it. I also ride with a lad who had it and got cured on the first "reset".

I haven’t but I’m pretty sure arrhythmia causes strokes so the one could have lead to the other.
Just out of interest, am I right in thinking that keeping hydrated reduces the chance of a stroke? Have the docs mentioned that?
Yeah - the arrhythmia can lead to blood clotting, due to (something like) the non-smooth flow of blood. I guess a teeny clot was caused - the consultant was quite surprised at how short my apparent TIA was, so it must've been a teensy clot 🙂
Not had hydration mentioned, but I tend to anyway. Not that anything is going to happen again, but do need to get the wonky heart sorted cos it ain't normal.
Now look, no-one is gonna be putting any fingers near my bumole any time soon, thanks for the offers all the same!
Ah, cheers lowey! 😀 (very interesting thread that)
I have just seen this thread, and have to complain at all those who have made me laugh. Damn that hurts!
Glad you’re okay, DezB. There must have been something in the air that day to take two of us out at the same time!
Shame you didn't have a cam on eh? 😉
Glad you're on the mend too, SR.
for all that the occasional thread descends into a clash of 'experts' or whateraboutery, I thought I'd let you know this thread has just done some real tangible good; rider (of a certain age) blacked out whilst riding this afternoon and went down.
Much post-incident 'MTFU' blokey type nonsense was shouted down by a lightbulb going on above my head and citing this thread and info within. At best he might have gone to the quacks in the morning (and even then only because of the cuts & bruising from hitting the deck) but instead is now in hospital
pats on the back all round
"So the “verdict” is in, suspected TIA"
"Dude – you just had a TIA until proven otherwise…"
Hazzah.. (for being right, not, you know, your terrible health) I should do all my doctoring over the interwebz....
😀
DrP
Glad it's helped someone else rhinofive.
Scaredypants got in there before you Doc 😉
Well, uptiI i read this friggin thread tonight I felt pretty well!
Now I'm compiling a list of things to mention to my GP when I see him next!
Just read this thread in its entirety ..really glad to hear you are on the mend DezB..
Cheers hodgy.
I'm not happy with the meds I've been given - I wake up about 5 times every night now. Constantly knackered and my guts are in a weird state. Making me a right grump.
It's like, hey these'll cure you from something that might never happen again and make you feel totally shite for 24 hours, where you were fine before! 🙁 Probably* worth a call to the docs eh?
*definitely?!
Definitely worth chatting it through with your GP. It could be that you either need to try something else or give it a bit longer for your guts to settle down and energy levels increase.
Or stop taking them altogether.
If they aren’t right for you, stop.
Doubt you’ll die*
*IANAD
Anyway, can you still listen to jingly jangly? If so, all good..
🤣🤠
Just saw this on BBC Breakfast - did a search and couldn't find anything on here
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/46234803
Sounds like he is making / made a good recovery, hope he's back on the mike in due course.
Indeed. Sounds like it was a lot more serious of a TIA than mine, cos I'd no way call my episode a stroke! I'd sue the BBC if they reported it as such! (Unlikely, I know 😉 )
Stroke is such a nice name for a nasty thing.
