Aubrey Plaza had a stroke when she was 20<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘White Lotus’ actress was briefly paralysed and lost her “motor skills” during the scary medical episode, which happened while she was “mid-sentence” chatting with a friend.<\/p>\n
\nShe told SiriusXM’s Howard Stern: “It was wild. The craziest thing about it \u2015 and kind the coolest thing about it \u2015 it happened mid-sentence.<\/p>\n
\n“I took the train to Astoria to have lunch with my friends and I walked into their apartment \u2015 I hadn’t even taken my jacket off \u2015 and it just happened. <\/p>\n
\n“That’s when I was paralysed, but only really for a minute or something. I lost my motor skills really briefly. <\/p>\n
\n“The freakiest thing was I forgot how to talk.”<\/p>\n
\nThe 40-year-old actress previously admitted her friends initially thought she was joking when she had her stroke but she was eventually able to signal she needed help<\/p>\n
\nShe told NPR’s ‘Fresh Air’: \u201cI think [my friends] thought I was making a joke \u2026 I was always doing something stupid.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBut then after a couple of minutes, they kept saying, \u2018Do you want us to call an ambulance?\u2019 and I was aware enough to shake my head yes. I kept just shaking my head yes because I knew something was really, really wrong. But I didn\u2019t know what it was.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut when paramedics arrived, they didn’t think Aubrey had had a stroke because of her age.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cThey were thinking that I was dehydrated. And I really think they thought I was on drugs because they kept asking me if I\u2019d taken drugs, and I hadn\u2019t,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI hadn\u2019t really put anything into my body that day and \u2014 except for birth control.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Megalopolis’ actress eventually met with a doctor and “everyone realised” what was wrong when she couldn’t tell the difference between her left and right.<\/p>\n
\nShe reflected: \u201cThere was no recovery. I mean,when you have a stroke, you have a stroke.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere\u2019s nothing you can do about it. Your brain has to heal itself. And that part of the blood clot area in my brain will never be healed. <\/p>\n
\n“It\u2019s a tiny, little black hole in my brain. So I had some cognitive, you know, therapy that I went to. I went back to school in the fall.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
