...Internal Bleeding? I am so hardcore it hurts. Literally.

J. S. Mill

This has got to be a first for In the Groove players everywhere.

I recently switched from a very soft technique off the balls of my feet to a very violent pure heel technique. A week and a half ago you could not hear my feet on any song, now you can hear it at the restaurant upstairs when I play easy songs.

I had quite a shock today, my third day with this new technique. I played Infection, Xuxa, Utopia. Although I have near infinite stamina on my toes, I get really, really exhausted playing with the new technique. As such it was not too surprising when I stepped off the pad coughing a bit.

I put the towel I bring with me to my face to cover my mouth as I cough. It's a pinkish towel, so I don't notice anything at first...

Then I, and my friend Chris (ARRR) noticed something rather strange. My towel had acquired a strange red hue. About fifteen seconds later, I realized I had just coughed up blood from playing In the Groove.

Needless to say I stopped playing. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this the scariest thing ever or what?

wow scary stuff... never happened to me before. The worst things I got from ITG (actually it was DDR I think) was super dry throats and dry lips that cause my lips to crack and bleed, but ever since that happened once I almost always bring bottled water to the arcade.

How did you possibly cough up blood??? Was it actually ITG or might it have been something else? Or maybe your throat/lip/tongue's dry? It's quite serious stuff if it's somewhere internal...

Conclusive evidence moving to ITG requires a blood pact with Satan

I question whether or not there is a clear corilation between ITG and this.

Kiba for the win.

But seriously though, that sucks. I hope you can figure out what it is, or talk to a doctor or something.

Im in shape, so I dont throw up, or pass out. Ive seen 2 fat kids throw up, and 1 pass out right next to the machine. Just dont push yourself too far.

Even people who push themselves past the point of the exhaustion don't spit up blood. Have you ever been at the finish line of a marathon? No bloody towels there. Get yourself to a doctor and find out what's really wrong with you.

Wow, Cory, take a break, omg... Once you start coughing blood, that's a good excuse to stop. What were you doing before this? Maybe getting hit by a pitch in the gut or something? That is truly

-ish. The Weird Award goes to... Cory, for coughing up blood after playing ITG.

I can understand Vomiting, I almost did it once on an all ten/eleven foot set, but blood? Seriously, go to the doc.

Really, it doesn't hurt to much to go to the doctor. There might not be anything wrong, but coughing up blood is still something to check out.

The only time i've ever bled after ITG was once when my toe broke open.

Let's start out by saying that I'm very greatful that I learned to play steping lightly...Lol. Anyways, you seriously should get that checked out, even if you do know the reason, cause there could be some serious damage to fix in ya.
