Jamie Foxx

My PSA: Of course, certain pre-existing conditions can make a person susceptible to stroke, like heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., but stroke can happen to anyone, any time. Relatively young and healthy people can have them due to unseen injuries, for instance, so everyone, please learn about FAST:

F = Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven?
A = Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S = Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred?
T = Time to call 911

I'm adding all that because it's so easy to take for granted the symptoms that show with a stroke. I would add: An unusually severe headache should NOT be taken for granted as "just a headache."

We don't know for sure if Jamie Foxx had a stroke or not, but I wanted to mention FAST here, since stroke has come up.

Stroke is a subject I've learned a lot about. My spouse works for a brain health-related organization. But most of what I've learned has come from following actor Timothy Omundson (Psych; Supernatural; Galavant), who had a massive, nearly fatal stroke at age 47, when he was truly at peak health and ideal weight--but he had a "silent injury" to his carotid artery which threw out a blood clot that hit his brain. Omundson had an extreme headache the night before his stroke, and says that if any headache is sudden and intense, get to an ER. No one would have dreamed he'd have a stroke, but injuries, not just "waistlines," age, etc. can and do cause debilitating strokes. So it's good to know what to watch for, since it can be so difficult to know a stroke is starting.

I am not the wonderful PP who posted this but (thanks PP, your post may save someone’s life)…I don’t understand why there are such snarky people on this forum. It’s sad. Please do some self reflection.

I'm the PP who posted the stroke PSA, and thanks. If even one person remembers the symptoms and takes action in time, that's enough. I don't care about the snarker but do find it funny that he or she missed the entertainment-centric factoid that it's an actor whose stroke experience taught me what to look for!

So far I don’t believe any of his celeb friends have talked to him directly.

I’m sure if admin felt that way they would move it. Jamie is in the entertainment business.

I hope so too. I didn’t think the message on his Instagram was him, I don’t think any of his celeb friends have spoken to him or know anything. I think there’s a lot of “telephone” going on. Even the news articles are all regurgitating the same stuff with the same timeline. Jamie has some very loyal people and a good team around him. Nothing has been leaked and we still don’t know much if anything. I’m Praying for him!

His team is incredibly tight. They even announced his illness before we heard it from the press.

I'm surprised, and impressed, that no one from the hospital/medical staffs/movie crew has (it seems) leaked anything about his specific condition to the gossip sites or even legit news outlets. Not as far as it looks. A LOT of people are involved in hospital or clinical care and a movie sets are hotbeds of gossip with so many people involved every single day, so it's remarkable that there doesn't seem to be leaking. And it's good that things are so quiet-- the tight team clearly has worked at keeping his and his famiiy's privacy intact.

I think the longer the family does not mention what the emergency was, though, the more people will start to speculate, and if it's a heart attack or stroke etc. it seems a little strange they haven't simply said so -- those are such common events, why not simply confirm, "He had a heart attack" or whatever? Of course they do NOT owe anyone even that much information. I just think speculation will eventually get going if there's no news after so long. And speculation is much worse than any real diagnosis.
