Though Cartwright suffered her stroke in February of this year, she revealed details to her friend and former Vanderpump Rules star, Kristen Doute, on Doute’s podcast, “Sex, Love & What Else Matters.”
As she spoke with Doute, Cartwright described her experience, saying, “All of the sudden, I started getting numbness in my right arm and my right leg, to the point where I couldn’t even hold my cell phone anymore. And it got really scary because it was happening out of nowhere,”
Cartwright continued, “It was just a really scary time. They didn’t know what was going on with me. They thought that maybe I had early signs of MS, or maybe a small stroke, so I had to have MRIs on my brain and on my spine. And I had to have CAT scans.”
Fortunately, Cartwright said that her medical tests all came back “clean” and that she hasn’t had any symptoms of a stroke since that day. However, doctors are still unsure as to what exactly caused her stroke.
As for Taylor and Cartwright’s current status, they are both healthy and hoping to have more children, as they’ve been trying since November.
