Posting from a hospital bed
Influencer Nicolette Fountaris suffers a stroke at the age of 36
Influencer Nicolette Fountaris wasn’t worried when her arm went numb. The 36-year-old suffered a stroke, as she now reveals in a post.
“A week full of shit” is what Nicolette Fountaris calls what she recently experienced. The 36-year-old posted seven pictures from the hospital. They show her in the hospital bed, medication and other impressions from her past days. “I have a stroke, right brain, just like that,” reveals Fountaris.
Nicolette Fountaris receives a lot of support
But how did she notice this? “My left arm and hand have just fallen asleep – numb – so I can’t keep my hand outstretched,” Fountaris recently reported on Instagram. She didn’t think it was a stroke at the time, but instead suspected a pinched nerve. However, a friend advised her to go to the doctor as soon as possible – luckily.
“There are still minor damages, there will certainly be new glasses, but that doesn’t matter to me. It doesn’t matter at all, for the moment. I have experienced more love than ever before, what I preach has been confirmed,” explains Fountaris in her Posting. She has a request for her fans and followers: “We have to dance, kids! Dance, laugh, smooch and have fun! Got it? It’s ONLY about having fun, the rest is for the toilet,” she writes.
In the comments under her posting, Fountaris received a lot of encouragement and warm words. A follower points out how important it is to react quickly if a stroke is suspected.

FACE rule is important
The German Stroke Aid also points this out on its website and explains the so-called “FACE rule”, which is helpful for relatives if they suspect a stroke.
The affected person’s face is important: “Ask the person to smile. If one corner of the mouth hangs down, this indicates hemiplegia.” The same goes for the arms: “Ask the person to stretch their arms forward while turning their palms upwards. When paralyzed, both arms cannot be raised and one arm drops or rotates.” In addition, the language: “Have the person repeat a simple sentence. If they are unable to do so or their voice sounds slurred, there is probably a speech disorder.” And ultimately time: “Don’t hesitate, dial 112 immediately and describe the symptoms,” it says on the site.
Meanwhile, Fountaris is preparing to be released from the clinic. “We’ll be going home soon, back to Wonderland,” she writes on Instagram.
