Horribly tragic. This fine lass was a true hero. Bringing 7 beautiful children into this world, despite being in daily pain every day since age 19 from rheumatoid arthritis. RIP with the Lord, darling.

Literally anybody can be brought down by a stroke anytime. Very healthy people have been taken out by one, without any risk factors.

If perfectly healthy people get strokes frequently, why isn’t that anti-stroke medication more common than Narcan?

Sounds like the deceased did not have a healthy relationship with her kids father. Difficult to surmise anything else.

I didn’t say it happens frequently, just that it can happen to anybody.

I am also not suggesting that everybody take antistroke medications as precautions, because I don’t work for Big Pharma.

“Why is younger (age 43) worse for surgery?”

I don’t think it does.

I think this started with not carefully quoting the daughter and then altered again by writers that assumed wrongly what was originally written.

The daughter referred to her being so young and referred to the swelling of the brain making it difficult to operate.

“Because about 80% of all strokes are preventable, we really focus on prevention,” says Dr. Stephen English, a Mayo Clinic neurologist.

Preventing stroke risks
Tips for lowering stroke risk include maintaining blood pressure under 130/80 and keeping cholesterol and blood glucose at appropriate levels.

“(Other modifiable risks include) things like smoking cessation, treatment of sleep apnea with a CPAP device, and some other potential treatments,” he says. “We want to make sure that the risk factors are mitigated to help reduce the long-term risk of stroke.”

There are risk factors for stroke that cannot be changed. These include age, sex, race and family history. “There are four nonmodifiable risk factors we typically think about. The first is age, so age greater than 55; males; people that have a family history of prior stroke; and then people that are of African American descent,” says Dr. English

From the article:

“But because she was so young, and with the swelling, there wasn’t enough space to go. Whereas somebody who had a stroke that was older, there’s less brain and more space.”

Doctors discovered a clot on her carotid artery that had travelled to her brain, which had caused a stroke.

Directly from the excerpt. No need for all of the gobbledygook.

My brother, 56, was extremely healthy. Skier, cycler, ate healthy, looked young. He had a hyperganglia break in his brain. It was there since birth and no one knew. Thankfully, he survived and was able to get full motor and speech functions back. Effects were very similar to a stroke.

Sometimes, life happens.

FTA: "When Emma was only 19-year-old, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. She always had to be on painkillers."

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be linked to an increased risk of stroke. This is especially true for people with heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure. While the findings don't prove causation, they underscore the recommendation to use NSAIDs at the lowest dose and for the shortest time needed.

Chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for years can increase the risk of ischemic stroke and may contribute to the formation or destabilization of carotid artery clots. The effect is dose-dependent, varies by specific NSAID, and is generally modest in absolute terms but clinically meaningful in high-risk patients.

Be wary of Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Rofecoxib, Lumiracoxib, Diclofenac, and Ketorolac.


I'm on Apixaban (brand name Eliquis) for blood clots provoked by three rounds of COVID. I was warned to stay away from NSAIDs.
