Others have commented in the past, that Hillary exhibits symptoms like Stage 3 Parkinson’s, and is clearly falling regularly. No doubt that they would have worked hard on disguising any telltale shuffling gait, during her brief, controlled appearances.
She has probably been living with her condition for some time already (perhaps over a decade), and it has been intensively managed. She has been repeatedly seen accompanied by board-certified neurologists just a step away at public events.
It is likely not her only problem. We know she has thyroid issues and is overweight, likely with some alcohol-related issues. She is 70.
In the past, posters have proposed vascular dementia, as the best diagnosis to explain some of her symptoms (like seizures). That was the diagnosis in her supposedly leaked medical records. She could have that, in addition to Parkinson’s, and it could have been triggered by her trauma in the plane crash when Secretary of State. Vascular dementia is slowly progressive, but faster than Parkinson’s. If that’s it, cognitive issues are about due to start, during this Presidential term.
Good info...thanks.
She’s sick in body, mind and soul.
She has taken some nasty spills over the last decade. If I remember correctly she broke a wrist shortly after becoming SOS in 2009.
Thank you. I had not heard that term used for them before.
In Hilary's case the 9/11 incident being tossed into the van was a seizure of some sort. It could have been Parkinsons freezing but not likely since her legs went limp (not frozen). Before the seizure her gate was slow but not shuffling.
The incident with coming down the stairs in India was more like Parkinsons. Parkinsons patients are very bad on stairs even in early stages. But she is not late stage Parkinsons because she would have not been able to go down any steps at all. It is quite impossible to get the level of muscle control needed regardless of medication.
It is possible she has some stimulative medication or something that produces muscle control. None of the regular dopamine substitutes will do that but there are alernatives and I have seen them do good things, but they don't last and don't work for advanced Parkinsons. I read a few years ago that Michael J Fox takes ordinary carbidopa-levodopa, not any alternatives.
Vascular dementia
Hadn't heard about that. I just listened to her NY speech yesterday. She has no speech impediments, but the vascular dementia can manifest other ways. She certainly seemed irritated and emotionally numb (robotic). Remember too that her double vision came and went. Her seizures come and go. Her brain health seems to be episodic, much more you typically see with Parkinsons.
That’s interesting info. Thanks.
She’ll be scheming until she takes her last breath.

Hides that bulletproof vest well. Those AR500 plates get heavy after a while. I just wonder how she can carry all that weight given she is so frail.
I think she has PD. Third hand accounts, wikileaks, and public videos suggest this, IMO. But that is not really important. Do you know any "healthy" people that have her health problems? Donna Brazile was looking to replace her after the 9-11 event according to her book. By then, they had to know of her ongoing health problems. The press covered it all up. I remember after the 9-11 collapse, Hillary managed to make it up a flight of stairs to her plane a few days later. Wolf Blitzer sounded like she had just won the Superbowl.
I don't know of PD meds that enable stairs, especially dowm. But late stage PD doesn't respond to meds other than dopamine replacement and that doesn't allow people to walk up and down stairs. Any PD patient who can handle stairs will probably die of something else (or complications from a fall) 20 years later.
Since the election we have only seen brief clips of her. All the really bad stuff has happened off camera, so who knows? As I mentioned before she has broken a toe, a wrist, and now has a back brace all in less than a year..
I am not an MD and I don't what her problem is other than it is neurological (seizures, bad double vision that went away, weeks out of view of cameras, etc) But I do know about PD, beginning to end, and a second time beginning to late stage. I have also seen other PD patients at the assisted living, some as late as a week before passing. She does not have late stage PD, that is certain. She may have very early PD, but if she does, and it's her only condition, then she will live for 10-20 more years with treatment.
If she keeps falling at her current rate, she isn’t going to live another 10 to 20 years no matter what the cause of the falls are..
Depends what risks she takes and how she falls. I have some experience with a patient with seizures and those falls can be bad. No control at all and a good chance of smacking your head hard on the pavement. The Parkinsons falls are all conscious and thus yield broken wrists, broken hips and cracked vertebrae. With Parkinsons such injuries take 2-3 times longer to heal and can greatly diminish the quality of life. Usually not fatal but can be fatal.
