Woman suffers orgasm-related stroke

She's made a full recovery, which I imagine led to a lot of bragging from the boyfriend.

(WebMD) Sex triggered a life-threatening stroke in a healthy 35-year-old Illinois woman, her doctors report.

Sex- and orgasm-triggered strokes in relatively young women and men are rare, but not unheard of. They require a combination of factors and events not unusual in themselves, but which are highly unlikely to occur at the same time.

The 35-year-old woman's symptoms were typical of this unusual kind of "cryptogenic" stroke, says Jose Biller, MD, professor and chair of the neurology department at Loyola University, Chicago.

"This young woman ... while having intercourse had numbness on the left side of her face, slurred speech, and weakness in her left arm," Biller tells WebMD. "When she was transferred to our care six hours after onset, she was completely unable to move her left arm, her face was paralyzed, her speech was garbled, and she was in a state of panic."

 

i was too worried about her husband coming home to do much bragging.

 

Soooo....did her boyfriend finish before calling 911?

 

The EMTs went quickly to work on her -- after high-fiving the boyfriend.

 

This is how I want to go. That is all.

 

You better stock up on D batteries then.

 

Is that a challenge?

 

Shit. Glass, baby. Nothing beats the feel of glass. (And no batteries.)

 

Don't flatter yourself, FDP. It's not very becoming of you.

 

You guys laugh, but it's a curse.

This is the third time this has happened to me.

 

We know it's not Mrs. BY....

 

Wow.
