Re: Steven Tyler 69, Seizure on Tour

I read this on his Twitter account too. His lead guitarist Joe Perry also has had some health issues. He collapsed in a performance in LA with his other band. In fact, all the members of Aerosmith have had some health issues the last 10 years, which I guess is to be expected. I saw them live three or four years ago, and their energy was limitless. Steven seems to be happiest when he is putting on a show. Love their music, love their band. Keep on rockiing, Aerosmith.

I sure hope he will be OK.  I can really identify with his band and that particular type of music and music era.  Also, it feels good knowing someone older than me (just a little) is still a rocker (like me)!


same here!

He better listen to the doctors and not travel.  You only live once that we know of.  I hope he is feeling better.

I've had seizures for 69 years. They are wicked. Add lupus, RA, diabetes and some mild stuff. Some days I'm barely alive, but I do what I'm able. Just don't ever tell me, "Get well quickly" or "It's not cancer." Seizures or any "hidden illness" is a life sentence and IS terminal . . . they attack the immune system, causing havoc with every organ. The resulting pain, fatique and other symptoms are not visible, but very real. Medication is on-going.

Seizures are usually the beginning of a serious medical problem.  And, I'll repeat myself. They are life-threatening. Most seizure patients end up in the ER.

@BirkiLady  I appreciate you sharing and bringing light to this subject. I was in the ER with my daughter just a few weeks back, after 4+ years seizure free. Woman Indifferent Her meds were adjusted.... Woman Frustrated

What do you mean "not life threatening"? There is a reason for seizures . . . usually a serious medical issue. A seizure in itself can cause death. Take a CPR class to help those around you . . . you need to be more informed. 


 

 

She was quoting The Boston Globe article and Steven Tyler himself.   I guess THEY need to take CPR classes and be more informed.
