So it isn’t just a neurological test? Between that test and how stiff her body appeared, I guess a seizure. Because a doctor would often recognize if they are about to go down, and rush to get her out of there. It looked like she walked almost up to the curb, and then went down.
No, they are testing for strength loss as neuro/nerve damage issues cause that, and the skin pinching is a common dehydration test besides the visual of the skin.
Man, I have a Gastro, Endo, Cardio, Primary-Internist, Ortho, Neuro, ENT, so I’m quite familiar with what they do. I refused to use the Rheumatologist they wanted, I can’t take the drugs, those drugs are the reason I have a GASTRO they destroyed my GI Track. Lack of proper Thyroid treatment led to the ENDO, and when my legs swelled, to the NEURO, which led to the CARDIO. Seems that being Hypothyroid can cause an Enlarged Heart with a to small to fix leaky valve. Drug Induced Osteoporosis -4 from lack of proper Thyroid levels and Nexium which also caused Barrett’s Esophagus a type of slow pre cancer, leather like lining on the stomach that is PAINFUL, you get a every 2 yr Upper GI to go with it, mine is due next month. Nexium is a 2 week drug, it causes Barrett’s Esophagus if used to long and Brittle Bones. Can’t wait for all the LAWSUITS since they put it OTC to start with no warnings.
It appeared to me that she was making a sort of hopping motion with her body, up and down, that people with Parkinson’s Disease do to initiate their first step when walking. I have a good friend with the disease and he will ask me to put my foot in front of his so he has to pick up his leg to start walking. Another device that he has on his walker is a red laser light that illuminates the sidewalk between the wheels that he must pick up his foot to “cross” the light. I am no expert but have experience helping him and can see some familiar body motions with Hillary. My friend is in late stage four of the disease, Hillary is in the early stage IF she has PD.
As someone posted earlier this week, I would not wish PD on my worst enemy.
