Wow, I see. I wouldn't have guessed. Wow. I've taken some nasty mountain bike tumbles and thankfully never landed on my helmet. I've seen some pics of motorcyle helmets involved in accidents and can't imagine how hard the impact must have been to crack one of those things open. Good luck, Longview1. Hope it's not serious.

Havent gone to see one yet. Thats where i stand.

Don't be an idiot.

Go to emergency today. Today. Now.

"I hit my head and now I have mood swings and pains in my head" - holy crap, what do you need to convince you to go? To be in the middle of an anurism?

"I hit my head and now I have mood swings and pains in my head" is a very very very good reason to go to the doctor. Today.

I know, it's scary as hell, but it'll be less scary when you know the truth.

These guys are NOT exaggerating. Go to the doc yesterday, and not a Minor Emergency/Pro Med (the mcdonalds of health care IMO-no offence to anybody, just BAD experiences). If they tell you your fine, get a 2nd opinion. Make sure you get an MRI and bloodwork to see your red/white cell count.

If I remember my crash-course correctly you shouldn't take Aspirin nor alcohol, or anything else that thins the blood. This isn't one of those wait and see things. Go.

If you can help it, please don't drive until you've seen them.

That makes sense.

I guess you have to start from Milepost 0 before you can hit Milepost 1.

Haven't been up there in 22 years to the month, on my road trip to Alaska.

Let us know the results of your tests.

And dump that helmet.
