Greybeard Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 10 minutes ago, row_33 said: i didn't lose any teeth from that, for contact sports I had my orthodontist mold a mouthguard in addition to protecting the teeth it provided a cushion when i took elbows or other hits to the jaw, saving me from damage Interesting you should post this. It seems a lot of players don't wear mouth guards. I don't know if I am missing something or not. I am curious about what percentage do or don't. I guess there is no third choice.?

I guess there is no third choice.? the orthodontist recommended it from day one, with several $1,000s on the teeth (not really affordable) my folks liked the idea, and I was fine with it i see the NBA uses it a lot as they like to let it dangle out for 95% of a game football has been the most adaptable, with a full mouthguard not allowing for breathing through the mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think mouth guards would be mandatory. The main purpose is to prevent concussion too. Not just keep teet in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get pain as much as others. It's just like one half of my brain melts and i let myself drift with it fighting it isn't of much use had a touch of it on Sunday and found I was in a conversation, an intelligent one, for about 10 minutes and had no recall at all after it was over, and was dissociated while it was taking place i guess i didn't say anything offensive, the other person would have reacted if i did.

Wacka Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Not sports related, but I had some similar situations related to the stroke zI had 4 years ago. About a year before it I got the aura like a migraine but without the headache several time. Being a stubborn Pollack, I ignored it. About two weeks before the stroke I had to drive 90 miles back home from a job and had a hell of a time concentrating on my driving. The week before the stroke, I got lost driving to a place i had been at least a dozen times before. Took me about 10 minutes to get my way there. Later that day I was going to a fast food place and using my phone for navigation. Couldn't find the place and kept blaming the phone. After driving for about 20 minutes, I passed a McD's and ate there. At least the 30 miles home was on the interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 actually another migraine fugue meltdown has occurred over the last hour, weather bouncing around seems to be a common cause for it, the four or so times it happens each year i know i'm in it and will take an hour-long nap and hope things improve short-term memory is wiped out, that's one thing i know....

Like I said I was a stubborn, stupid pollack. Recovered except for slight weakness in my left arm and leg every 3-4 months or so. Go to a neurologist, cardiologist and nephrologist (kidney doctor) now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 When the Sabres traded Andreychuck, Puppa and a 1st for Grant Fuhr I became so enraged I went out and bought a Boston Bruins hat and swore off the Sabres. That lasted about two days. Couldn’t do it and threw my Bruins hat in the garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
