Probability is that it was a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). Mimics a stroke, but there is no blood clot. They can go from a mild tingling in the face, an inability to talk (as in this case) to what appears to be a full-blown stroke. Recovery time can range significantly.

I know, because I deal with these weekly. An occasional TIA is a warning sign. But, like I deal with, these are effectively on-going shorts that can severely affect your ability to work, to walk, or do other normal activities. The only good side is they won’t kill you like a stroke will.

What’s weird is that the rest of her body seem fine. No strange movement, but of course we did not see what happened after the camera stopped rolling. She apparently went to see the doctor the next day but why was she not hospitalized, if something like that happened to me I would rush to the emergency room. I hope she doesn’t have a brain tumor, or I was even thinking about ALS last night. Reading those comments on yahoo are really a shame, to see people laughing at what happened to her, mocking her, its disgusting. Just shows what has happened to our society
