I have been ill today.

[LuckyCharms]

I won't bore you with the details, but let me tell you...

I came in from working outside, and plopped into a chair. I was dizzy, and I had to concentrate in order not to pass out.

MSNBC was on the TV. I can't remember exactly what they were showing, but it was something about all of Trump's evil and absurd deeds.

While watching this, my mouth started watering, and now I had to fight off both puking and passing out.

It is when you are ill and hearing about Trump that it REALLY hits you just how bizarre this whole situation is.

1. I hope that you will very soon feel much better, my dear LuckyCharms...

Having that monster in our White House is enough to make any sane person sick.

[LuckyCharms]

3. Thank you CaliforniaPeggy

Feeling much better now

2. drumpf makes me extremely ill without working outside.

Add some work, heat and sweat and I would swear I died and gone straight to hell!

Hope you continue to feel better LC!

5. Thank you! n/t

4. Hydrate!

Don't forget.

[LuckyCharms]

6. I'm doing so now!

8. Hope you feel better, and BTW, watch the alcohol content of that liquid hydration. haha

The only way I can stomach hearing about that cockroach is with mild medicinal alcohol.

11. I quit drinking 5 years ago.

If I knew that Trump was going to be "president", I wouldn't have quit.

[alwaysinasnit]

14. I hear you. With all the tRump crap flying around it is difficult to maintain one's equilibrium,

making it even more tempting to use some sort of crutch. I admire your fortitude of those 5 years and the courage it took to make that decision.

[LuckyCharms]

15. I did it out of necessity...

I wasn't a huge drinker before, but I liked to have a few drinks once in awhile. I've been on some medication that does not agree with alcohol, so I couldn't catch a nice buzz anymore...just got kind of a sick feeling. So I just decided to quit. I also quit smoking at the same time.

[alwaysinasnit]

16. Quit smoking too! That's great. It took me awhile to quit, but sometimes like now (with all this

crap) I do crave one with my morning coffee. Anyway, I wish you good health and strength to persevere.

9. It Sounds Like Heat Stroke

The best thing to do is rest in the AC and drink water.

Well, it sounds like you're past it now (good!) so this is for anyone else who works outside and gets what feels like the flu.

Please stay well. You're one of my favorite posters!

[LuckyCharms]

12. That's kind of you.

Thank you!

10. Clearly a case of Trumpillitis with secondary Pencenoidal infection...

Been hit with those myself and they're hell on depression......

Hydrate with drinks of choice, take long bubble baths, listen to best music of your choice, nibble on chocolates or other treats of your liking and have along hair-down talk with the nearest true-blue liberal. If all that does not work, you and the rest of us are royally screwed.....

------------
Seriously, those symptoms sound like a lot of things I've heard about and experienced through the years including inner ear and heart issues. But, let's leave the diagnosis to a professional - especially if this happens again. Best to have yourself checked out. Hell, let's hope it's something simple like a minor dietary imbalance.

I'll even admit to being a bit of a self-righteous hypocrite because I've got friends on my ass right now about getting to see a doctor for a good physical.

LC, hope you're recovering well, and consider one of those Trump-blocker gadgets for your TV.

Would be a shame to see a perfectly good TV shot full of holes 'cause he's just going to get worse.....

[LuckyCharms]

13. Thank you!

Much better today...back to my grumpy self.
