I knew a women in a wheel chair from visiting a chiropractor. He made tiny error and she was paralyzed. I won’t see one because of it even though I hear people say how good they are. Just can’t.

My mom had dementia. She started showing signs in her mid Forty's. She still had her personality for the most part. But it took a part of her and she knew it but she didn't know what she lost. It was awful to watch her slowly deteriorated. She died in an accident at 62. I miss her constantly but I'm glad she never forgot who my dad, brother or I was. My grandfather died about a year before and she constantly forgot. I would just talk about him like he was alive. I couldn't stand for see the hurt in her realizing he was gone.

Ummm. I'm here to add a voice of hope too. There can and is health after mental health breaks and psychotic breaks. And hopelessness (often a symptom/factor chicken/egg mess) that prevents people from ever returning a state of balance is not to be denied by any stretch. But this statement is too black and white and leaves no room for growth or rehabilitation. If we believe that some bodies can be healed from devastating injuries and equilibrium achieved, why not the mind. With enough of the right supports and treatments? Sadly, mostly inaccessible since (at least for most western culture) we treat health (physical and mental) reactionary instead of preventative. And money drives everything. But as someone who's been suicidal, there can be true mental health after if you live long enough to get there.

"I hear dead giggles"

So theoretically…

;( Hod. So sad and sobering.

this has happened to me way too many times. i suck at making friends. the friends I have now are nice though :)

The lake it is said never gives up her dead, when the skies of November turn gloomy...

My husband had one when he was 32. He fell asleep watching TV and I woke him up to say it was bedtime. He said he had a headache and that he'd rest there for a while. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed. Our kids found him when they got up early to watch TV before school and they woke me up saying daddy was sleeping on the floor. People rarely survive aneurysms and they usually do so by getting immediate medical care. It's a miracle that he survived and is with us today.

I had a severe Migraine and a droopy eyelid, and went to my Doctor who sent me for an MRI. I was told the results were a 'tiny dilated Artery' and it was nothing to worry about. I then received a letter from the Neurology Surgery team with an appointment. I had only just sat down when the Neurology Surgeon told me they had found a large Aneurysm which needed Surgery. I was in shock and terrified, he told me it needed metal clips due to its size. I underwent the Surgery several months later, and it was extremely unpleasant to say the least. Within a few weeks I was getting back to normal. I have a large scar (not really that visible) and a dent on the side of my temple. I have recovered well but have a lot of bad headaches. I am also hyper sensitive to noise. However that Surgery saved my life, and I am very grateful to the Surgical team and Nurses and wrote many thank you cards. Anyone with any questions, please feel free to leave a comment.

A girl I worked with lost her mum to this. Her sister was on the phone chatting with the mum and mum suddenly said "I have such terrible pain in my head", phone went quiet and the sister rushed over to the house and found her.

At any age, any body type and any state of health. Literally, anyone can have one, and because there are typically no symptoms anyone can have one burst at any point and you're just gone. Poof. Crazy s**t

I had a ruptured cerebral aneurysm 18 years ago and after surgery to insert titanium clips walked away (after 2 weeks in the ICU) with no problem except for the 60 staples hold the incision closed and dent in my head. Had a great surgeon and he told me 50% of the people he operates on (for repairing aneurysms) do not leave the operating table alive. Good news - he said I was no more likely to have another problem than the population at large. Hooray for neurosurgeons!

That is seriously scary

My grandmother lived a block from the hospital, but died from a AAA: abdominal aortic aneurysm. My Mom, (Grandma's youngest daughter,) was tested later and already showed a 9 centimeter bubble. Surgery corrected it.

My cousin was washing dishes on Christmas Eve and dropped dead, just like that from an aneurysm. In her 20s. These things are awful.

I think it's important to note that aneurysms can happen anywhere in the body, and can be just as fatal as ones in the brain. I had an aneurysm between my liver and pancreas in December, and I'm very lucky to be alive. They were able to fix it, thank God, but even with 5 different specialists involved with my case, they still can't figure out why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. I'll be seeing a geneticist at Mayo-Rochester next month, and will hopefully get some answers after that. It's very, very scary.

More accurately, an aneurysm can rupture at any time for any reason. If you have a family history of aneurysm especially, get checked. And smoking increases your risk considerably.

Actor Tom Sizemore died from having one.

This is the most terrifying. Seriously, can we do nothing to prevent this!?!?!?

Happened to my brother he died it happend to me 2 weeks ago . I survived I

I lost 2 friends to aneurysms. Both in their 30's. Julie was at work and Susan in a Grocery store.

The late John Ritter had one on his heart. Now they think his father may have had the same thing and not a heart attack. John's brother had surgery on his heart to fix that problem.

She had a headache and he told her to go lie down and he'd make a cup of tea for her and then turned to go to the kitchen when she collapsed and was unresponsive so he called an ambulance. She was rushed to hospital but she couldn't be saved but they did a c-section and saved her baby boy. Brain aneurysm.

My daughter's co worker just died from this last year. He complained of a headache at work. Was in the hospital the next day and dead the day after that. My old boss literally dropped dead from it too about 18 years ago.

Slight misunderstanding here.. an aneurysm is a bulging in a blood vessel. They can occur, stay one size and never cause a problem. The danger is an aneurysm enlarging to the point of bursting, causing a bleed. So it isn't the aneurysm that is dangerous, it is the aneurysm rupturing.

I hope I go that easy.

lost a co-worker to one and a mutual colleague was with him at the time. It happened really fast. A woman on the news I used to watch died in a news van from one. Lisa Colagrossi from WABC in NY.

Well, not exactly "for any reason" but any time to anyone. Typically it is someone who has a medical condition, whether diagnosed or not, such as malformed blood vessels.

Haha my uncle died of one last week

Walked past? The guy was our waiter at the local Italian restaurant and went to school with my sister. She hated him, which felt very justified indeed some years later when he abducted and killed a local man and dumped his body in a national park.

yeah i see you all.. GO TO SLEEP!!! STAY HEALTHY!!! (i know its hard but u can do this!)

And the Darwin award goes to..

I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS 😨

Stop putting “you’re welcome” at the end of these, a******s.

they gotta get to my bond villain island first. good luck fam...

Yes I can confirm this, as I do this. I'm not even the same on different social medias- Here I'm a bat, somewhere else I might be a tree or a loaf of meat. My parents Don't know i'm a furry and my Friends Don't know that I actually hate one of them. Nobody knows me whole, maybe I don't even know myself.

My great-grandfather died in 2017:( Though I was only 7, I remember he told stories about how he fought in WWII and how he shared the chocolates he got for christmas with my sister and I :)

Doctor here: fly larvae can only feed on necrotic (dead) tissue. Therefore, these parasites only arise in already injured structures (previously infected by bacteria). If a fly oviposits on healthy tissue, said larvae will starve to death.

They aren't actually poisonous, it's their saliva has deadly bacteria and the dragons can then follow the scent of your flesh being destroyed by that bacteria. It's in order to not waste energy chasing prey.

Most of the universe is out of our reach. We can only go till the Local Group (the group of galaxies which our galaxy is also part of). It’s impossible to go past the local group into the next group because of how the universe is expanding. There will come a time when the light from other groups beyond ours will be shifted to such long wavelengths that it would be impossible to detect them. Our galaxy will be lonely and any future species won’t be able to figure out how the universe started or how it will end. Our galaxy will slowly grow darker and darker as the last of its stars slowly start dying and fading away
