During a 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City, Hillary Clinton reportedly began to feel unwell and needed to leave. As she was entering a waiting vehicle, video shows aides helping her into the car as her legs seemed to buckle beneath her.
Naturally, speculation about that buckling flamed out all over social media. People who dislike Clinton leaped to point to what they view as yet more evidence that she’s too elderly or frail or ill or something to be president. Those who want to tamp down that kind of speculation asserted that it was a hot day and she likely felt faint from the heat.
So then we got assertions on Twitter that fainting doesn’t look like that or that one does not “faint from heat.”

But people do faint from heat, and yes, fainting does look like that. A statement from the Clinton campaign following the event said:
Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen. During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better.
Clinton herself came out of her daughter’s apartment building within hours of the episode and said that it was “a beautiful day” and that she was feeling better.

With the Hildebeast keeping pneumonia diagnosis private we have hard proof of the campaign keeping her health from public record. Now we need proof of the rest of her diseases from hell.
If you have MS, yes.

What are the best cooling vests for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS), it’s likely that the sun and the heat are your foes. Warm temperatures can have a significant effect on MS symptoms, says Hal Gutstein, MD, a clinical assistant professor of neurology at NYU Langone Medical Center Multiple Sclerosis Comprehensive Care Center.
Even a slight increase in temperature, something as little as 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit, can worsen and agitate symptoms. The following can also worsen your MS symptoms:
exercise or an overly active lifestyle
hot showers or baths
fever from a cold or other acute illness.
In medical terms, this is known as Uhthoff’s phenomenon. As Gutstein explains, overheating was actually the basis for diagnosing MS prior to the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Since a slight temperature increase can impair nerve impulses enough to cause symptoms, a “hot tub test” was once used to spur on symptoms.
While temporary, such small temperature increases can greatly impact your quality of life. Fortunately, cooling vests can help to maintain your core body temperature, prevent temperature fluctuations, and reduce flare-ups.
There are different kinds of cooling vests with varying price points and features. Battery or electrical-powered vests, called active cooling vests, can be more expensive but can cool the body longer. Gel pack or passive cooling vests don’t provide such long-lasting cooling, but they are usually cheaper.
Before you purchase a cooling vest, take a look at these top seven models.
1. First Line Basic Cooling Vest
Price: Under $400
This vest has a two-piece, over-the-shoulder design that fits well for various types of activity while also offering comfort while lounging.
Using phase change material to work their cooling magic, you should expect each use to last between three and four hours. While it’s on the more expensive side, First Line basic cooling vests get high points for wearability, convenience, and comfort.

I had close to the same experience as you. I was standing in line, had been in the sun all day and did not eat or drink enough. We were at a sporting event.
I felt myself getting dizzy and was aware that I was on my feet, but I was swaying back and forth and the only thing holding me up was the people I swayed into that were in line in front of me and behind me.
I was taken to the shade and they gave me a cold wet towel behind my neck same as you. Then an ambulance came for me even though I thought I was okay. They were right, I was not okay.
I tried to stand and almost fell over again.
Heat stroked like that is not fun and it seemed to last. Finally after a bunch of cold drinks they let me get up and go. It was about an hour.
What I can’t understand is why they did not get Hillary Clinton immediate medical attention, sit her down somewhere.
They left her propped up against that cement bollard with someone keeping a hand on her so she would not tip over. They don’t care about her? What’s up with that? Here, just throw her in this van.
Just watched a video by a (brave) doctor analyzing public information about Hillary’s health issue (video clips, etc.) He said that her coughing is compatible with a swallowing difficulty common to late stage Parkinson’s. Chronic difficulty swallowing from Parkinsons directs saliva incorrectly and over time, can result in pneumonia.
Oh, I see what you mean. I was thinking they’d be telling us her pressure was up high, not low.
She has the best health care in the country unlike the rest of us. She’s a liar, a thief and now a sick old woman.
Someone at DUmmicraticUnderground suggested that she may have fainted because she spent too much time on the Stairmaster or other gym equipment at the last hotel she stayed in. I kid you not, that is what was sincerely put forth as a likely explanation for her collapse today.
My Brother-in-Law once was overcome by heat exhaustion. The guy is an incredible worker. He will literally work himself till he passes out etc.
Actually his symptoms were light headedness and cramps. He, my Sister and I were unloading the contents of a storage unit in Tallahassee. She phoned 911 and I drove to a nearby supermarket and got him a half gallon of gator aid.
I got back before the paramedics. They checked him out and said he just overworked himself and that the gator aid was the correct thing. They told him to just rest the rest of the day. My Sister and I finished the unloading.
It wasn't heat stroke. I'm ex-military and trained in First Aid. "Heat stroke" doesn't allow you to do a photo-op some 2 hours later. It's a potential killer and extended rest and IV fluids are needed. You just don't recover that quickly from "heat stroke".
Also, I doubt it was heat exhaustion since the weather was mild. Add up her VERIFIED concussion, blood clot, corrective lenses glasses, thyroid problem, her age and weight, tripping, now fainting, not to mention her moments of a 100 yard stare. It's obvious the woman definitely has a debilitating disease or syndrome. The root cause remains speculative.
You forget one thing: was she experiencing heat deprivation?
Do you think she was standing outside for several hours without water?
Do you think she didn’t have an adequate water supply or servants to cater to her needs?
Do you think she had no air-conditioner before she showed up at the memorial?
I’ve been walking for hours during the worst of this heat wave in NYC and haven’t fainted, buckled, thrown up or been dragged into my car.
Think again!
In mid-70° weather? That is starting to get a bit cool for me.
If it were mid to highs 80s, then maybe, for a fat old hag with no physical endurance.
Mutt, same here in Florida. Sweater weather!
That is NOT a $5000.00 shoe! Is it REALLY??

Admit I am acclimated to warmer temps than north-easterners, but those temps are cool to comfortable, especially to someone not doing anything physical.
it was 81 degrees at the time with only 44 % humidity, so no... but she was forced to stand for an hour and a half, so that explains her dizziness.
The newest explanation is dehydration due to pneumonia... perhaps they’ll spin this into: What a trooper she is.
Or, it will explain why she needs to sit down during the debates.
I see they’re still drinking the same koolaid.

MS patients often have an over sensitive response to heat.
Illiarily got in trouble during the Gay Pride day parade in NY City, Jun 27, 2016 earlier this year. In a few minutes she was in trouble. (1)
Then, today at the 911 ceremony, she had even worse reactions to only a mild temperature.
Before is a medical look to how Sensitivity to Heat can quickly disrupt the quality of life for patients with MS.
Sensitivity to heat can disrupt the quality of life for people living with MS.
Here’s how to keep your cool. Heat intolerance is a common issue for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Not only are they in general more sensitive to heat, but heat can also make their MS symptoms considerably worse. MS-related heat intolerance occurs because the myelin protective covering around the nerves in the brain is damaged and doesn’t function properly when the body is overheated, says Jack Burks, MD, chief medical officer of the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America.
“The nerve impulses cannot travel efficiently, and fatigue sets in,” Dr. Burks explains. “The dangers of heat intolerance might include a temporary decrease in balance, strength, feeling, or vision, which could lead to falls and other problems,” he says. The best way to avoid a temporary increase in MS symptoms related to heat intolerance is to avoid overheating in the first place.
But if you do feel overheated, it’s important to take steps to cool yourself down.
Try the following strategies to see what works for you: Ice Can Be Nice Lisa Emrich, 46, a musician and music instructor from northern Virginia, uses ice to cool down. She says that when she becomes overheated, she has trouble thinking and speaking clearly, and sometimes has difficulty walking.
There have been times my husband and I are outside working in the yard and everything is okay, until suddenly I get overheated and have to ask him to help me inside
because my legs have difficulty moving,” she says.
“Ice is one of my favorite ways to cool down — it can be used in so many ways. On the inside of the wrist is nice, or on the back of the neck, your forehead, or the middle of the chest. If it’s a large ice pack, I like to hold it on the front of my body and try to cool off quickly.”

1. Jun 27, 2016 - Sick, Old Hillary So Low Energy She Can’t Walk the Gay Pride Parade ... weekend, when she couldn’t even walk the New York City gay pride parade. ... Rather, she accomplished her goal: she showed up,got her photo op and then left.
Video of Illiarily not able to walk in NYC Gay Pride Day parade this year.

What do we know?
We know she wears long Winter Wool coats in August.
She’s either covering up the Catheter or she can’t get warm.

How will they explain it if she has a spell at the debate and starts twerking on stage?!

Sadly, that response (and image) has resulted in particles of watermelon adhering to my computer keyboard! I THINK I was laughing when it happened.
It wasn’t that hot or humid though. But I think if you are infirmed and are on God knows what medications, you are well behind the eight ball even in normal conditions.
