#2 mebbe a cigarette burn? I mean, El Gropester put his hands on a little girl's shoulders and her alert grandma put out her cig on the back of El Gropester's hand?

#4 And recall how Hillary was propped up with braces and who knows what else. Funny, though, how her coughing attacks stopped after November 2016.

#5 Funny, though, how her coughing attacks stopped after November 2016.

Note how many of these meds cause dry mouth, which could certainly lead to coughing...

#6 What a whacked-out, sick-o friggen kurva.

#7 I'd assumed he got fresh 02 rich blood from time to time. Athletes used to do that to improve performance. I don't see how it wouldn't improve brain performance as well.

#8 Adderall is taken by pill.

So are most psychoactive drugs.

If he were doping, he would, almost certainly, use the veins in the arm, not the veins in the hand.

#9 Maybe just a little dextrose bump before public appearances to wake him up.

#10 All I know is that I saw one of his commercials, and he was slurring in the commercial.

I mean, if that's the best take...

Honestly, don't give them a reason. In fact, wouldn't it be interesting to watch him after three lines of the good ol days?

#11  I'd assumed he got fresh 02 rich blood from time to time.

When I looked into that a few years ago as an energy supplement for chronic fatigue syndrome, I was told by my doctors very firmly that one cannot buy blood for that purpose, but only for surgery or treatment of hemophilia. Of course I am merely an unimportant member of the middle class, not the future Saviour of the Nation.

#12 /\ You don't have any complications from POTS, do you TW?

#13 tw,

#14 Look, we're not supposed to be prejudiced against the recently embalmed....right?

#15 I don’t know what POTS is, Clem, so I have no idea.

lord garth, the naturopath my GP sent to me one year had a hyperbaric chamber, but it was expensive, so we decided to try other things first and never got back to it.

#16 POTS

The search gave a result while I was typing: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

No, I don’t have it. I have the more usual cognition issues instead, colloquially call brain fog. I have a girlfriend who instead has POTS with her chronic fatigue — she is as scary smart as she was before, but the POTS is so bad that she has trouble if she even sits up for any length of time, never mind standing. This is the lady with the schizophrenic son who is serving 10 years to life for murdering his grandmother.

It’s all very annoying, but I am hopeful that some of the immune response learnings from COVID-19 will spill over in my direction. I intend to return to being terrifyingly energetic once this thing is fixed, so y’all have been warned.

#18 @ #16 - I'm rooting for you, TW.

#19 One thing about these drugs is they lose effectiveness and you have to keep upping the dose. After a while you start losing weight. Maybe they're having to play chicken with these effects becoming too obvious.

#20  I'm rooting for you, TW.

You are a darling, Clem, thank you. I am grateful to have come down with this thing when the scientists started looking at it more seriously, and to have good doctors and a medically pushy husband. Mr. Wife did post-doc level cancer research, back when he thought medicine was his calling, and has stayed on top of the research once we knew what we were dealing with.

Dear Rambler, I only ever bring out the clue bat when y’all force me to it, so I wouldn’t expect to need more if I were more energetic. I might go hand Fred wrenches while he plays under the hood, though, if you want something to worry needlessly about. ;-) And I still owe you a Rantapalooza...
