That's a shame. Makes me realize how lucky I was last year to have only a mini-stroke at 53.

He was a pretty good actor when given the right role. Not sure anyone else could have played Lane Frost like Luke did.

RIP

Too bad.  Seems like a good guy, the fact that his ex-wife was his bedside when died (according to the news reports) speaks well of him.

Sounds like tonight will be a "Fifth Element" movie night!

He wasn't especially rough looking, it's just that people (Hollywood especially) try to look younger than they really are.

Back when 90210 was on, they did a 'very special' episode about gun control. I think Brian Austin Greene's little choad friend accidentally kills himself screwing around with a gun trying to look cool. Anyway, all sorts of shows were interviewing the cast members, talking about how 'important' gun control was.

Luke Perry was on MTV with some VJ/reporter, not sure who it was, maybe Tabitha Soren but I'm not sure. Maybe that dick Kurt Loder. Anyway, the VJ was droning on and on about keeping guns out of kid's hands, how they were so DANGEROUS.

Perry says casually, "Guns aren't dangerous."

VJ shakes her head with uninformed liberal conviction (some things always stay the same). "No, they're DANGEROUS!!! They could JUST GO OFF AT ANYTIME."

Luke Perry reaches under his shirt, takes out a 9mm Sig, and places it on the coffee table in front of him.  "This gun," he says, "could sit here from now until the end of time, and it won't go off unless someone picks it up and pulls the trigger."

Fucking DJ damn near had a stroke. They went to a commercial and when they came back Perry was gone.

Back about fifteen years ago, I got to pull Sporting Clays at one of the celebrity Mandrell shooting events. I was squadding with Marty Kove and Charles Napier, but I got to throw some clay for Luke Perry and a few others in his squad. Nice guy. Feel bad for his family, he seemed like a pretty cool dude.

You can say that, but it does happen.

My wife had a perimeisencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage in her mid 30's.  No, and I mean no, drug use other than some occasional social drinking.

I must have answered the question "how much cocaine did she use" at least 20 times that night.  No one believed me until her bloodwork came back, and then they were all "damn, she really didn't do any cocaine".

How's she doing?

I might have a cerebral aneurysm forming but it's too small to tell yet. Even with a 3T MRA the neurologist said if it is one it's the smallest one he's ever seen. So I'm monitoring it.

Not a day goes by that I don't wonder if it's gonna pop. Been a weird 3-4 months.

Never done drugs. Rarely drink. No smoking but I did grow up with my parents who were chain smoking.

Sometimes people just get them. I will say I had been taking Ginko Biloba for a year up until my scan. I stopped taking that just in case.

I found out I have this a few years ago. Only the single mutation fortunately. Have had many surgeries and lots of deep cuts in my life and it's never given me any problems.

My sister almost died from a blood clot after falling and cutting her knee when she was around 13. A blood clot was on her way up towards her heart. They didn't test her for it then but years later during her pregnancy they tested for it and sure enough she has it.

Thankfully she is doing well, but at the time of the event the outcome was far from certain.  I remember something like a 60%-70% mortality rate within 48 hours for patients presenting with what she had suffered.

Fortunately, she recognized something was going on before losing consciousness, and I had her at a stroke certified hospital within about 12 minutes.

She was in neuro ICU for 14 days, and largely incoherent for roughly half of that.  That experience was very sobering, as many, if not a majority, of patients from that ward were being wheeled out feet first under a sheet.

We are 9 years on at this point, and according to her docs, she is at not greater risk than the general population for a recurrence.  She has very, very minimal deficits at this point.  I don't think her short-term memory is what it was, but if you met her for the first time today, you wouldn't notice.

I would say it was roughly two full years before her motor skills, coordination and balance were close to pre-event levels.

Best guess, with some emerging research to support this, is that her's might have been associated with her suffering from psoriasis for her entire life.  At a base level, psoriasis is an inflammatory condition, and some docs doing research think that might be a causal factor.  Otherwise, she had no markers for this type of event.

Thanks for that.  She's extremely blessed!  Really happy to hear she's just fine.  Yeah they say that the recurrence of those are basically a non-issue so that's great.

I've actually had flare ups of psoriasis myself.

Trying to be more careful about inflammation and it seems to help.

A few pages back, I mentioned a friend, age 32, very healthy, trim/fit, didn't eat crap, ran everyday, massive stoke.  What I did not mention in my previous post some family history or genetics turned up, guessing it was what you posted, interesting.

Interesting that you are deal with psoriasis as well.  My wife also has had lifelong asthma, and also psoriatic arthritis, both of which, again are related to inflammation.

Let me know if you are interested, and I will get the information from her on the studies/docs working on establishing a link between those conditions and stroke.

After the stroke, my wife has been on either Enbrel, or Humira and also has a somewhat restrictive "anti-inflammatory" diet that she sometimes follows.  It might be worth a conversation with your neuro doc about treating inflammation once you have reviewed the information.

My most ardent advice when dealing with your condition would be to educate yourself, and be your own advocate in dealing with docs.  I found through dealing with my wife's condition that many, if not most, seem to be "color by numbers" types.  You are looking for the one that will look at your own case, analyze what data you have, and plot a course of action from there.  Do not be afraid to question those men/women.

52?!  That is truly too young for a stroke. Wasn't he in a bad racing accident in the 90's? Related maybe?

You would think that's too young but it's not. I had my first stoke at 32 then one at 38 and another at 48. The first two would have been considered TIA had I been smart enough to report them to medical staff. Alll due to a hole between the upper chambers of my heart. The last one caused blindness in my left eye. I was fortunate and recovered full sight in the eye and have since got the hole in my heart repaired.

That is interesting.  I had asthma when I was a child but haven't had problems with it since I was around 7 or 8.

I just learned  (last week) I have  a single mutation of Factor 5 and Lupus Anticoagulant. I had a Pulmonary Embolism at the end of October last year. So yeah, new chapter in my life.  Daily Baby aspirin, magnesium, exercise, compression socks on long flights, have to stop every hour on long drives.

Luke Perry was a year younger than me. It's a little freaky.
