20 years ago he suffered a stroke that almost cost him his life.

American actress Sharon Stone revealed in a conversation with People magazine that she suffers seizures if she sleeps less than eight hours.
“For a long time, I wanted to pretend I was okay,” she shared.
“I need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep for my brain medication to work and not have seizures. So you have to hire me as a disabled person, and that’s why they don’t hire me much,” the actress admitted.
“I lost everything,” Stone said, describing how the stroke he suffered 22 years ago affected his life.
“I lost all my money. I lost custody of my son. I lost my career. “I lost all those things that you think are your true identity and your life.”
The actress admitted that she never got most of that back, but now, 20 years later, she is relieved to “talk openly regarding what happened.”
When asked how she dared to share her story, she explained that, although she was raised “with the belief that taking care of others was what she was supposed to do,” she has now finally realized that she has no why fit in with others and that “it is okay to receive care, to be enough as a disabled person.”
Stone says she is proud to have been able to survive this and to be able to help others.
A sudden tragedy turns life upside down
The star was at the peak of his popularity when in 2001, without giving explanations or making statements, he suddenly disappeared from the big screens and practically stopped appearing in public.
Stone has long concealed that the vertebral artery aneurysm with brain hemorrhage she was diagnosed with at the time left her with just a 1% chance of survival.
When remembering his recovery process, he says that in the first moments he “stuttered” and “didn’t see well,” and that he suffered memory loss for a long time.
A few months before the stroke, the actress and her then-husband, newspaper editor Phil Bronstein, had adopted their son Roan, who is now 23 years old.
In 2004, her marriage broke up, she was stripped of custody of her son, and Hollywood stopped offering her roles.
The star admits that during that difficult time, the only person who came to her aid was her father. “Don’t come to Hollywood,” he added.
Today, Sharon Stone sits on the board of the Barrow Neurological Foundation, whose website says its mission is to “save lives.”
The foundation supports a medical institute run by neurosurgeon Michael Lawton, who once saved the actress’s life. In his words, Stone is “an inspiration to all who suffer from neurological diseases.”
