all depends on the stroke and the person.

Some guy Andy got a stroke and got half paralysed. He started to go into the deepest hell of overwhelming emotions and cried himself to sleep every night. However, there are these friends and relatives there who visit him and tell him not to give up. He started physiology and regained his former self.\n\nThis is a rough idea. Write it in ur own words.

Ha ha. I like this question! Hmm... I guess that depends on how you define "dying of old age". If this is defined as dying of natural causes either by degenerative organ failure or age-related disease, than you could die quite young of "old age" I guess. Wasn't there a seventeen-year-old on the Atkins diet who died of a stroke brought on by hardening of the arteries? I guess that's not really dying of old age - just dying from a disease typically associated with aging - but some people are born with Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome and exhibit symptoms of accelerated aging, so that by the age of ten they might resemble eighty-year-olds and have a shortened life expectancy. I guess they would qualify as the youngest people "dying of old age"....

if you dont breath for more then 4 minutes the brain cells start dieing - to hold on for longer would require a lot of practise. generally you pass out and the brain automatically starts the breathing process.\nonce brain cells die - there is no recovery - and you never know what part of the brain is dieing

ALS is fatal in about 95% of the cases, time is variable between 3 and 20 years.  About 5000 people each year are diagnosed with ALS, so generically/mathematically, about 4700 people die annually.

with water, a person can last about three weeks without food.  women might last a little onger than men

A person can live without food for quite some time, usually for many weeks. \nThe body will use its fat and protein stores (muscles) to help it survive. \nIf a person has a lot of fat stores (is very heavy), they will live longer than a \nperson who has very little fat (very thin), so how long a person can survive \ndepends a lot of the person. Of course, if you go without food for a few weeks, \nyou will be very weak since you have been using your own muscles for energy. \n\nWater is a different story. A person will die within 3-4 days without water. The \nsize of the person really doesn't make much difference.

A female, age 53,could outlive her  63 yr. old husband by 12 years.  This of course  doesn't take into account any pre-existing medical conditions.\nRN

It depends on the cause of death.  If it is something to so with the lungs, then yes, but if it a stroke or a fall, then maybe not.\n\nThat is a bit of a weird question though...why are you wondering that?

Actually, yes. Well, let me rephrase that. In certain areas, yes. It depends what country, where in that country, the climate, the plant life... that sort of thing. But in many areas I think I could safely survive for at least 1 week. But, as I said, it really depends on the circumstances. And, if I were injured, who knows. It's all relative.

It depends on the cancer, how it grows, what it responds to in treatment and whether it is contained in a mass or is more diffuse.  There are different treatments for brain cancer and you need to discuss these with a neuro-oncologist and a neurosurgeon.  In my experience the survival time is somewhere between 3-9 months, but I have known people who have survived and are living cancer free now.  Remember, Lance Armstrong had mets to his brain and he is doing great.  I wish you strength and comfort in the days ahead.

The symptoms of a stroke are generally weakness to one side, slurred speech, drooping facial features to the affected side. Bell's Palsy is facial paralysis, normally affecting one side of the face, and can last from a number of weeks to a number of years.Most patients suspect they have suffered a stroke when first faced by it's effect and a visit to the doctor helps alleviate their fears. Symptoms normally include; a drooping or sagging mouth, facial pain, drooling, loss of taste, inability to close the eye resulting in tearing. Good luck to you, seems like you and your family needs it.

you can ask the doctor for a group of stroke patients. My sister had a stroke last March. She is 41yrs. old. So I know we got her into group activities with other stroke patients. And they doctors told us tree Questions to ask her if we think she is having another stroke.\n1. Can you tell us your name , birthday and the month and year it is.\n2. Smile for me\n3. Touch your finger to your nose.\nThese are simple things but a stroke makes it difficult to do this. I will say a special prayer for your family and you.

i highly suggest you consult a doctor instead of the internet for information like this. much of the prognosis of stroke depends on how focused and guided your rehabilitation program is.

A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack." A stroke can injure the brain like a heart attack can injure the heart. Stroke is the result of cerebrovascular disease - disease of the blood vessels in the brain.\nThere are two types of stroke:\n*Ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke. This type of stroke happens when there is a sudden lack of blood flow to some part of the brain, usually due to a blood clot blocking an artery or blood vessel. Often the artery is already clogged with fatty deposits (atherosclerosis).\n*Hemorrhagic stroke. Bleeding in the brain from a broken or leaking blood vessel causes this type of stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke may be due to an aneurysm—a thin or weak spot in an artery that balloons out and can burst.\nEither type of stroke can cause brain cells to die. This brain damage may cause a person to lose control of certain functions, such as speech, movement, and memory. Like a heart attack, a stroke is an emergency and should be treated as quickly as possible. \nKnow that not everyone gets all of the following warning signs of stroke.  And, sometimes these signs can go away and return.  Treatments are most effective if given within one hour of when the attack begins.  If you have any of these symptoms, call 911 right away!\n\n    *Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.\n    *Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech.\n    *Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination.\n    *Sudden severe headache with no known cause.\n    *Blurred or double vision, drowsiness, and nausea or vomiting
