Frankie Muniz has revealed that he suffered a "mini-stroke" last week.

The 26-year-old actor shared on Twitter that he has spent the past several days recovering from a serious medical crisis.

" was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a 'Mini Stroke', which was not fun at all," the former Malcolm in the Middle star tweeted.

Muniz continued: " have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!"

The actor has shared no further information on his medical condition as of yet.

He is best known for starring in Fox's hit sitcom Malcolm in the Middle from 2000 to 2006.

Muniz most recently appeared as himself on James Van Der Beek's series Don't Trust The B---- in Apartment 23. He also guest starred in Tim Allen's Last Man Standing earlier this year.

Wait he did? I didn't see that... When?

I don't know whats scary, the thought that HE thinks hes treating his body bad enough where it could cause a stroke. Or knowing that something is soo wrong that could cause a stroke at such a young age. I highly doubt its how hes "Treating" his body. Theres something worse than just how hes treating his body.

Doesn't have to be cocaine.

He could have arteriosclerosis in his carotid (neck) arteries. Once they are 85-90% blocked people can experience transient ischemic attacks (TIA's), which temporarily reduce blood flow to the brain. Add caffeine or stress and the artery can spasm, make the occlusion worse, and it's off to the races. These are the most common cause of "mini-strokes."

He's 26, so he IS old enough to have a carotid blockage. Hell, back during the Vietnam War lots of autopsies were done on 18-25 year olds and most already had arteriosclerosis.

Then there's this -

A few percent of the population are born with cerebral aneurysms - weak spots in the blood vessels of the brain that can bulge like a bad tire. Most people never have symptoms. Sometimes they leak, and sometimes they burst and the victims often die. Add anything that raises ones blood pressure, such as caffein, stress etc. (the usual suspects) and bad things can happen.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
