Ailing Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein's office has admitted the 89-year-old did suffer a brain infection, despite her own insistence that she'd just been battling the flu.
The New York Times reported on Thursday that Dianne Feinstein, 89, has been diagnosed with vision and balance impairments as well as facial paralysis known as Ramsay Hunt syndrome in addition to encephalitis, a brain infection.
'It was a really bad flu. I'm doing better thank you,' Feinstein said initially about her condition.

WTF does she have hanging over her head that can only be forestalled by staying in office?
Retire already, you freakin’ bat.
What a selfish, lying twit.
What a selfish, lying twit.
She should fit right in.
She IS a “brain infection”.
When she first appeared back at the Senate chambers, I said there was more to the story about her medical condition and she was suffering from something worse than just a bad case of the shingles. I said she appeared to have had a stroke.
Given the fact that the official story keeps changing to include other medical problems in order to excuse her condition, a stroke is still very possible. With Fetterman’s condition, I don’t think they would want another stroke victim at the forefront of the news when it comes to a Senate member.
Feinstein needs to go ahead and resign. It’s obvious that she cannot mentally or physically do the job she was elected to do. Previously, she was evil and corrupt. Now, she is evil and corrupt, along with being physically and mentally incapacitated. Much like Biden.
Wasted life.
If caught early, antiviral drugs may help limit an attack of shingles. The best pain remedies for the post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain) of shingles are opiates and, to a lesser extent, gabapentin. Those usually being off limits due to addiction and other issues, that leaves NSAIDS like aspirin, Tylenol, and such for pain relief.
For me, long, heavy use of NSAIDs did so much damage to my GI tract that I had to discontinue use. Benadryl helps slightly, but I benefit more from regular use of the nutritional supplements MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), and PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide). Hot baths and strong, three bag cups of tea also help with pain relief.
For a time, I also used medical marijuana patches, but they are expensive and gave me the munchies.
More broadly, Vitamin D deficiency and depletion seem to be involved in shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia. That being so, correction with supplements and a vitamin D rich diet and sun exposure are called for but can have the paradoxical effect of increasing the level of pain for a time.
They are Billionaires.
When she first got in the senate she set her husband up with deals with China.
Didn’t take them long to help China start on there plan to take over the world.
Fast forward to Joe Biden and his continuance of the Feinstein China Connection.
No, they’re GREEDY billionaires. Suck everything they can from anywhere.
Yes!
Thanks for the appropriate adgative.
“unless there’s someone even worse available”
There is! It’s name is Kamala. When they dump Biden, they need to find a home for her. That Senate seat is her compensation for stepping aside.
Currently 4% of Democratic Senator fit that criteria and there maybe more undisclosed....
Pray for Sen. DiFi’s health. Pray!
I don’t know what the process is here. It must be that Newsom cannot simply appoint a replacement. There has to be a reason the rats are keeping her there despite the obvious fact is not capable.
Doesn’t make any difference if she steps down. It’s California. She will be replaced by another Dem, only worse. The country is better off with a sick her in office than a replacement that will be healthy enough to do even more damage
Well Feinstein looks like a dwarf ‘female-like’ Tiberius. Corrupt inside and out. Walking corpse.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) encephalitis is a cause of stroke (cerebral vasculitis), it’s not too hard, now, to conclude that she didn’t just have “shingles” but had disseminated VZV infection with encephalitis and suffered a stroke as a result.
Existential dread.
She could have gone to the ECU (Eternal Care Unit) this time, but clings to Earthly life like a Titanic survivor clinging to a life preserver.
