Bruce Willis Diagnosed with Aphasia

If the aphasia was caused by a stroke, it will most certainly improve over months. Just because your wife has a certain job does not make you an expert on a subject. You're better off staying in your lane little bro.

This was very sad. She was a great runner, writer, and person. Like the previous poster said, aphasia is a symptom. She was diagnosed with frontal temporal lobe dementia

Dementia research is light years behind cancer so there are no treatments that can reverse the course.

Wow you really must enjoy bad Karma or something. Someone gets diagnosed with something life altering and you crack jokes?

He may have primary progressive aphasia. I have diagnosed many cases of this. So far, media reports have not mentioned that he has had a stroke, TBI, infection or tumor that might have caused his aphasia. So, if he has had none of these possible underlying causes, he probably has PPA. My heart goes out to him and his loved ones.

1000’s get aphasia everyday and no one gives a f&$/. I could care less if a millionaire actor gets it. I’m on vacation and relaxing, so fun to read and post

I wish him well. Must be serious if he can't remember who he's married to. His current wife and his ex-wife are BOTH living with him.

My mom has Aphasia. Basically she has a hard time finding the words she wants to say so her vocabulary and verbal communication is limited. Her writing ability has lost some steps too. She used to teach and speak multiple languages and started losing her skills in that several years ago which is kind of when it started.

It’s not necessarily that she can’t remember things or forgets people places and things, but that she cannot express in words or writing what she knows, thinks, or wants to say.

Post-vaccine side effect.

Yes, it's really not true that "once you have aphasia, you don't get better."

Recovery from stroke seems to vary greatly depending on the part of the brain affected, the age of the affected person, their pre-existing mental capacities, and the amount and type of rehab they get.

In 1965 when she was 39, the Oscar-winning film actress Patricia Neal had three major strokes involving massive brain hemorrhaging that nearly killed her. These caused major damage to the left side of her brain, leaving her unable to talk, walk or write. The doctors who saved her initially by stopping the brain bleed feared that they weren't doing Neal and her family any favors - they thought she would be a vegetable and perhaps it would have been kinder to let her die then and there.

Her husband, author Roald Dahl, consulted every leading expert, journal and medical textbook in the world to learn all he could about the kind of brain injury Neal suffered - then he put together an intensive, innovative rehab program for her. Neal had to learn how to do most basic life tasks all over again. But after two years, Neal was able to return to work.

As I said in my earlier comment, I had nominal aphasia - inability to recall nouns - due to undiagnosed pernicious anemia. It resolved after the PA was treated, in part probably because I was still in midlife at the time and I also started out with a large vocabulary and better-than-average facility with words. However, whilst recovering I really had to concentrate to get my words back - and even today, consulting dictionaries and synonym-finders is something I do far more as part of my everyday routine than anyone I know.

Scum bag

If you don’t give a crap then why post?

What kind of misery motivated you in this post?

*Couldn't care less. Perhaps you should seek an aphasia diagnosis on your vacation you're wasting on LR

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
