SINCE LITTLE, AS A PRETEEN, SEEING A NEIGHBOR SUFFER A MAJOR STROKE, AROUND ME, WALKING WITH A CANE, UNABLE TO SPEAK COHERENTLY, MOST OF THE TIME, PLUS, UNABLE TO MOVE HALF OF HER FACE, I WAS OFTEN AFRAID OF THAT SAME FATE, FOR MYSELF. 

I FOUND OUT THAT IT RAN IN THE FAMILY, FATAL STROKES.

ALMOST EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY DIED OF A FATAL STROKE.

I KNOW IT HAPPENS FROM BRAIN TRAUMAS TOO, THAT HIGHER STROKE RISK.

HAVING BOTH, THAT HEREDITARY, FATAL STROKE RISK, PLUS L, SUFFERING FROM MULTIPLE BRAIN TRAUMAS, I ALWAYS THINK THAT THE STROKE PREVENTATIVES, TREATMENTS MUST BE MORE WELL-RESEARCHED.

NOWADAYS, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC INCREASED THE STROKE RISK SIGNIFICANTLY TOO.

ANYWAY, THE PANDEMIC MAKES PEOPLE TOO HEAVILY FOCUSED ON DIET, AND EXERCISE. 

IT SEEMS TO TRIGGER, EXACERBATE EATING DISORDERS. 

STROKE RISK CAN ALSO RISE FROM OVER-DIETING, OR GOING TOO VEGAN/VEGETARIAN TOO.

TO RELIEVE PANDEMIC STRESS, ART, AND MUSIC THERAPY DOES HELP SIGNIFICANTLY. 

TRY TO GET ALL ENLISTED BROUGHT TO EATING DISORDER SPECIALISTS, DAILY, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE HEALTHY.
