An IV bruise?
An IV bruise?
of course that's what it is. The question is, what IV medication is he receiving?
I didn’t know you shook hands with the back of your hand. I always thought you grasped the hand of the other person. Was he pimp slapping everybody?😂
7/31 The next medical event we see is the President's annual physical report. Comparing the medication list to his old reports, we notice three new medications: -Rosuvastatin -Ezetimibe -Daily aspirin
Aspirin 81mg is not recommended as a preventive unless history of diabetes and/or previous cardiac event. It is a dangerous drug and can cause hemorrhagic stroke AND BLEEDING
8/31 At first, I thought this might be normal medication for managing cholesterol, and I've certainly heard of preventative aspirin use in the past, but I decided to interview some heart specialists - and I'm glad I did:
9/31 There are two general takeaways I heard from multiple specialists: -Daily Aspirin is not recommended for "prevention" any more, an aspirin regime is treating something -Ezetimibe is a second line medication not used for regular LDL treatment.
Untrue. If you are at risk for MI, (genetic, previous MI, or male of a certain age) listento your doctor. I have 7 cardiac stents. I've got experience.
Also, why aspirin and not clopidogrel?
Trump does not have a history of using the most competent doctors.
10/31 Statins like Rosuvastatin will manage cholesterol alone where as Ezetimibe will be used as a second-line if the patient is at high cardiovascular risk such as prior strokes, heart attacks, or arterial disease. Then its used for stroke prevention.
Rosuvastatin is the statin of choice for older athletes; other statins can cause post-work delayed onset muscle sorness to be much worse than otherwise. Trump isn't an athlete, not by any shape or measure. (For that matter, neither am I anymore; I'd really like to get back on that horse.)
11/31 Trump's previous medical reports claim his cardiovascular health is great, and is on the statin, so he shouldn't need Ezetimibe.. But, this also brings us to the aspirin. As it turns out, aspirin hasn't been advised as a daily course prevention method for quite a while.
My mom was just put on it after a heart attack along with other drugs
I have heart failure and aspirin is recommended by my cardiologist. Blood thinner will make you bruise more.
Me too.
12/31 Some old doctors may still incorrectly prescribe it as such, but qualified medical staff who keep up with literature wouldn't. A daily aspirin dose is now used as a blood thinner for specific lines of treatment, including in managing ischemic strokes.
Don’t know what your definition of “old” is, but I have a close friend (HBP/Hi cholesterol/post-stroke) whose 50-ish doctor routinely updates on current medical thinking and has never mentioned discontinuing daily 81mg aspirin.
Post-stroke being the operative thing here, he said it's still used for people who are stroke risks which anyone who's had a stroke before is.
I had a heart attack in 2019. My doctors put me on aspirin til 2020, then took me off and replaced it with Clopidogrel saying this is the current accepted treatment. Am also on several other heart and cholesterol medications. Of course, I am not a doctor, nor a stroke risk (according to them).
13/31 Then in June, we see Trump's swollen ankles, and for the first time, the White House medical team is willing to admit: 1) He's got "CVI" 2) His bruising is related to "aspirin regime" and shaking hands.
Why is this on the Xitter? Those of us who are banned for supporting Ukraine can’t read it there on the Nazi app.
Anyone can read it via the link

@schnorkles.bsky.social has stated that the kind of heart drugs Trump might be taking to stay alive are known for doing so at the expense of the kidneys, so it's going to be interesting if he's on dialysis now.
Thanks !!
This was the only link that worked for me, ty
They only way I could get to the whole thing, too. Thanks!
I had a stroke 3yrs ago - I was 69. I was lucky: I was in hospital in treatment within 30 min. No lasting side effects except right side tingling. My cholesterol was thru the roof. Since then I’m on Rosuvastatin and baby aspirin. I was always fit: no ❤️ issues, no diabetes, no swollen feet.
Stroke 10 months ago. Same here, no side effects, only right side tingling. How is your tingling now compared with the first year?
It’s the same. For most people, it disappears within a year. I belong to the small group for whom it’s permanent. We tried medication: didn’t make any difference and made me drowsy: I just have to live with it

@gabirela.bsky.social
Is #Trump able to speak? So he had an ischemic stroke in the last couple of days?
Builds a strong case. This needs to be pursued.
That’s link only has the first post..
I cant get it to work on desktop past the first part. I know I'm not alone. I'm just commenting in hopes that the rest of the thread will be posted and someone will let me know.
That thread unroll only shows the first skeet, 1/31.
Don’t have threads, but need deets STAT!
