5 blows to the back of the head

[CFH]

Meh, last thing I and I'm sure anyone here wants it to seem like is that we are somehow ripping on a person who is the victim of domestic violence, but I can't imagine any woman ever coming to a boxing forum training section to address the issue. It's just strange, unless the person has ties somehow to boxing, or to our Saddo website somehow and is incognito, and in which case I still think the advice given in this thread is valid. Doctor first, police 2nd, lawyer 3rd.

5 punches to the back of the head, is yea, the kinda stuff that kills people.

None the less, I think we should treat situations like this as if they are real regardless of our suspicions, at least until they are demonstrated to be lacking in credibility. I'd hate to think of someone posting something like this with serious intent only to be laughed at and mocked.

I agree. And if it is real, hopefully they follow some of the advice. And besides the obvious stuff like see a doc, to visit some sites that actually are geared for this sort of thing. There are sites out there with trained professionals who deal with this sort of issue daily. We aren't one of them.

How do you know I'm not a neurologist?

Cause you would probably be the only one to support boxing ; )
More likely to be a neurotic.
Be a bit of a shame if the question and poster were genuine and came here just to have the piss taken though.

I looked at med sites.. but i've learned that if you need real advice or opinions, you ask someone who's personally experienced in the matter. I didn't come here for advice on domestic violence, i came here to find out about blows to the head. I wanted to make sure that my posting wasn't ignored, which usually happens when someone who doesn't belong posts. I simply googled boxing forums and when I clicked into this site it said ask the trainer. It's much less embarrassing to talk to ask someone in a site thats been punched in the head about whether or not my symptoms are worrisome or will most likely go away than go to the doc explain everything, deal with all the questions, and possibly the police because of a domestic issue, and then find out there's nothing wrong with me at all. Thank you to everyone who's been so helpful.

If you're being kicked in the head I'd say something was wrong.

The type of site I was more referring to, besides a medical only site, and hoping you'd visit is one that deals with domestic violence.

As far as brain trauma goes : Traumatic brain injury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is a list of symptoms to look out for. Not enough boxers are aware of them, or their trainers for that matter, but should be.

Mild TBI

-headache
-mental confusion
-lightheadedness
-dizziness
-double vision, blurred vision, or tired eyes
-ringing in the ears
-bad or metallic taste in the mouth
-fatigue or lethargy
-a change in sleep patterns
-behavioral, personality or mood changes
-trouble with memory, concentration, or calculation
-decreased coordination
-symptoms may remain the same or get better; worsening symptoms indicate a more severe injury

Moderate or Severe TBI

-loss of consciousness
-personality change
-a severe, persistent, or worsening headache
-repeated vomiting or nausea
-seizures
-inability to awaken
-dilation (widening) of one or both pupils
-slurred speech
-weakness or numbness in the extremities
-loss of coordination
-increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation
-abnormal posturing, ie. decorticate or decerebrate posturing
-vomiting and neurological deficit (e.g. weakness in a limb) together are important indicators of prognosis and their presence may warrant early CT scanning and neurosurgical intervention.

Good luck.

I have to ask if this is for real or not, your actions and logic seem extremely shakey and erratic.

It's not really my place to tell you how to live yourlife but why wouldn't you want to deal with the police?

Kicked in the back of the head 5 times by somebody who made wedding vows to you?!?!?

if you wanted to protect this person than just don't press charges, if he has problems but you still love and care for him and still want the relationship then seek counciling and support for both of you.

Letting it continue is going to do nothing but destroy you. I'm of course making assumptions that this isn't the first time that it has happened, but I can't think of any realisically plausable thing you could of done wrong wrong to provoke that response from a mentally stable and health person... least of all somebody who is supposed to have loved you to mary you.

There's no way to justify it, no human deserves it and nobody who truely loves could do that to somebody, nobody should stay with that despite what you may be feeling.

Think that youngblood has pretty much said anything that you would want to know if you chose to take the foolish root though.

Everyone should get off their high horse if they aren't going to offer help. And not everyone responds to help after being torn down so the comments are likely doing no good. We aren't in her situation, she asked for help we should leave it at that. True there are probably better places to seek help but come on leave the dogs at home, anyone who boxes here or has ever boxed has most likely had their bell rung behind the ear or in the back of the head at least once. I'm sure that's what she figured.

Anyways, I would talk to a doctor like those said. You could just lie about who it was, a doctor should be more interested in offering help then looking to prosecute someone. I would definitely consult a doctor.
