I've see the last stages of Parkinsons (not familiar with stage numbers). Muscle control is lost in major muscle groups, then the arms and hands, then you cannot lift a spoon. Then you lose the ability to swallow. None of this is monotonic. You have good days and get a little better and bad days and get worse. But there is a more or less progressive loss of muscle control.

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.

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.
