Seems like shingles |
| it's gotten so much worse though |
| Could just be regular fat neck friction. |
But there is a gash in his neck. |
I wouldn't call it a gash. Looks like maybe a scabbed-over part of a shingles outbreak. |
| There is a physical therapist on instagram...name is "epistemiccrisis", that has a series of videos describing what he thinks is happening with Trump's health. Although he hates trump, he's using his science background objectively to describe it. The number one diagnosis he believes it to be is "frontotemporal dementia". |
+ 1 Not sure what gash you see? Do you mean the deep wrinkles? Or the scabby shingles-like rash? |
My mother died of FTD (though not the behavioral variant, which is Trump might have and which has a much progression course than bvFTD). I thought he had it back in the first term, and certainly his mental wanderings ("the weave") have gotten worse. If it's a race between bvFTD and a stroke, the stroke will probably win. |
| Oops, was trying to say that the behavioral variant of FTD can have a much slower progression. |
| Shingles can also cause facial drooping. |

That's a PREVENTATIVE skin treatment? Dang.
How bad is the thing is trying to prevent? |
|
Isn't the shingles vaccine supposed to help prevent dementia? |
