I read the headline earlier, with no picture, and thought yeah he always looks like a bloated orange monster that tracks.
Actually seeing the pictures all I can think of is the training I did on FAST, literally the F is for face drooping, that old mother fucker is having a god damned stroke...
It is even clearer in the video footage. A single picture could just be him grimacing in a single frame, but the video makes it clear that the droopy face is his actual resting face, which it wasn't before.
It is fairly common for certain types of head trauma to be followed up with personality changes depending on the severity and type of brain injury, usually frontal lobe damage. A lot of people become more paranoid and angry, which often leads to their political views leaning to the far right.
I had a traumatic head injury that required brain surgery as a child and it’s never lead to any of those kinds of symptoms, but it wasn’t anything involving the frontal lobe.
Well, if there is an afterlife, and any belief systems about it are true, he'll be burning eternally and providing an eternal source of entertainment for devils, or getting reincarnated thousands of times as a cockroach that gets stomped on every time.
I thought that video they put out with him speaking about Kirk was so weird and somehow wrong. Like AI or edited footage. I assumed it was because the man can’t string together coherent sentences but now I wonder if it could have been health related.
It has not been like that before. If you watch the video footage you can clearly see his resting face being completely different to what it used to be.
The diagnostic difference between Bell's palsy and facial paralysis due to stroke is that Bell's palsy gets better in a few weeks. The only way to know it's not caused by a stroke is when it goes away, or if scans and other diagnostic techniques to detect a stroke show that none has occurred (in which case it's more likely but not certain).
Can't really tell without an exam but bi-lateral arm movements seem even and regular. Speech does not seem to be affected. His doctors haven't strapped him to a bed to prevent a fall from right leg weakness. All the signs point to just facial nerve involvement and not CNS. Still could be a stroke, but from looking in from the outside, I don't think so.
Seeing reports now that he has since made appearances with no drooping and was able to speak coherently (at least his version of it) at length. Does this help the diagnosis?
I had Bell's palsy for about 6 weeks back in 2008. Literally put a line down the middle of the face, and one side has full movement, and the other does not. Just the fact that Droopy Don can blink indicates he does not have Bell's palsy. I had to use tape to keep my eye shut.
Not to mention all the other facial movements he has on his entire face.

High volume activity and movement after a stroke pretty much guarantees a secondary event. Just saying.

The acronym FAST is good to know:

Face
Arms
Speech
Time
One last thing. It's ted-ed but here's a brain researcher who experienced and analyzed a stroke as one happened:

It is fairly common for certain types of head trauma to be followed up with personality changes depending on the severity and type of brain injury, usually frontal lobe damage. A lot of people become more paranoid and angry, which often leads to their political views leaning to the far right.
Here’s an article on the subject. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2020.0137

There are a shit-ton of diseases that can make your face droop. I don't know why everyone always goes to stroke.
