"NCIS" alum Pauley Perrette opened up to fans about overcoming a "massive stroke" that she suffered one year ago and how she is celebrating being alive.
"One year ago I had a massive stoke," the actress shared in a Twitter post. "Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends, And daddy And then Cousin Wayne Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I’ve been given so far… And still so grateful, Still so full of faith, And STILL HERE!"

Super lib. Probably fully jabbed.
Hate to be the first to ask, but...
I know so many “Not old” people who were up-to-date, and in otherwise good health, and had mysterious strokes.
Think of how much worse it would have been...
53 is too old to still be a “Goth Girl.”
1. clot shot, or
2. Too much Caf-Pow.
Prayers up.
“[she starred on] the beloved show for 15 seasons”
How did I manage to not see a single episode?
I quit watching cop shows after the original “Law and Order” and “Blue Bloods.” Well, there was “Longmire,” too
Very likely a victim of Fauxi.
> Prayers up. <
Yes. Pauley Perrette seems to be a typical Hollywood liberal. But she also seems to be a decent person. (You can be a misguided liberal and still be a decent person.)
I recall reading about Perrette awhile back. She made a comment about how the TV show “Family Feud” was no longer family-friendly because of all the vulgar questions. She was right about that, and it kinda impressed me that she brought it up.
She helps the homeless. She’s a lib, but at least follows her heart.
>> I quit watching cop shows after the original “Law and Order” and “Blue Bloods.” <<
Since this show is much older than Blue Bloods, that’s an odd thing to say. Also, not a cop show.
I am glad she is managing through a horrendous event.
The only casualty was her acting career...
Gotta love Lennie Briscoe.
Bet she had the clot shot
Never heard of her. Glad she survived a stroke.
It's about a bunch of civilian, sworn badge wearing agents of the government with arrest powers, who investigate felonious homicide and other criminal actions in the context of the United States Naval Service.
What would you call it, if not a cop show?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common co-morbid condition in stroke patients.
It represents a very important risk factor for stroke in addition to the other established ones such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease (CVD), hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation (AF), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), stress, smoking, and heavy drinking. Although in the United States the prevalence of OSA has somewhat decreased from the previous years, globally its prevalence remains constant, or in some cases, is on the rise.
In this review we present the epidemiology for OSA in stroke populations and discuss the risk factors for stroke as well as the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms linking OSA, stroke and CVD. We also emphasize the more thorough evaluation and control of OSA in order to prevent the disabling side effects of a stroke, which not only compromises the physical and mental health of a person and increases the burden on families, but also adds a severe burden to national health economics.
OSA should always be considered when assessing a patient with transient ischemic attacks (TIA). Work up and treatment for OSA will not only help prevent stroke with its devastating consequences, but will also help prevent CVD, and ameliorate co-morbid conditions such as diabetes and hypertension in these vulnerable populations.

Introduction
OSA is a common finding in both stroke patients and in ischemic stroke patients; it is also an independent risk factor for all stroke patients.1,2 Given the prevalence of OSA, all stroke patients should be screened for OSA at the time of presentation of stroke using polysomnography.3 Knowing the etiology of a patient’s stroke offers a better opportunity to provide more effective treatment for stroke patients. Understanding the underlying cause of a stroke can help prevent recurrent strokes.
One-third of strokes are the consequence of a patient’s previous history of stroke. OSA in stroke patients, if not treated, could lead to a recurrent stroke; therefore, addressing the management of OSA is a key to preventative health care in stroke patients.4 As OSA is an increasingly common finding in stroke patients, CPAP therapy has proven to have beneficial effects in terms of improving neurological symptoms in stroke patients.5 Stroke patients with OSA have a worse prognosis overall, but treatment with CPAP can have a significantly better impact on overall cognitive and other physical disabilities suffered after stroke.6 Compliance with CPAP therapy improves overall neurological and physical health status in stroke patients with OSA.7
