He does have chronic head and back pain, doctors say it is due to the blood breaking up, thus releasing toxins into his system. At the time of the brain hemorrhage Bret said the pain was so bad that he thought buglars had broken into his home and shot him in the back of head. Normally steroids would be prescribed for the pain, but with Michaels being diabetic he cannot take most pain medications.

It is very unlikely that he will suffer another hemorrhage doctors stated. He told his publicist, that he does plan on making the taping of the finale live TV show ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ on May 23. Plus, he considering marrying his girlfriend Kristi Girffin, the mother of his two daughters.
