WOW! I had heard of auras but NEVER heard of stroke like symptoms. I can only imagine how terrified she was thinking she's having a dang stroke. :(

And doing it on live TV with a huge audience too.

I don't think she even realized what was happening until afterwards. She was flabbergasted when she saw the tape.

Thank God, I haven't had an episode like that. It would be terrifying. It was scary enough when the aphasia popped up (all I could think was that I was having early onset Alzheimers).

When I saw the video clip, all I could think was, "that poor girl." Can you imagine someone distributing clips of one of us having a Kip 10 on YouTube? I hope the prayers for her will go on and the sensation of her indavertent public display fade. lance

I've never had that type of reaction to CH, but having had hemiparesis several times and having been to the ER checking for stroke I can surely sympathize. It is very scary to suddenly lose control of your functions. I'm glad mine were not in front of a TV audience. The one time at church was bad enough.
