I think Ajax18 needs to comment on this.


That’s my point. The type of Sudafed present in the photo appears to be the type available only in the UK and Ireland. This formulation contains different ingredients than the American version. The UK Version has Phenylephrine which is basically an adrenaline analog in the body. Very powerful stimulant.

Yeah I know what it has in it and what it does. I'd like to see Ajax comment on this and also the half life to see how long he'd have to discontinue prior to a physical and if he's abusing it would there be withdrawal symptoms and what those are. I'm not looking it up.

I do recall that his BP was recorded on the day of his physical. I don't recall it being high, rather, astonishingly low. I pay attention to that kind of stuff.

You believe the physical was legit?

I do. I think the doctor's comments were a little off. Just going from memory here. Didn't he go to Walter Reed for it?

Here's his stuff from this year. No, this isn't a full report.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump weighed in at 243 pounds during his physical last week, an increase of four pounds from last year that makes him technically obese, according to a report released Thursday by the White House.
Trump's blood pressure, 118/80, was about the same as last year (122/74), while his cholesterol was down to 196 from 223 last year. The president has also had an increase in dosage of rosuvastatin (also known as Crestor), a drug designed to help reduce cholesterol levels.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol ... 846158002/
sical/2846158002/

So, he had fasting blood labs I assume. I don't think I ever saw a break down of HDL, LDL, Triglycerides. His BP is acceptable, statin pulling his total cholesterol down in spite of his careless diet, and his weight increased somewhat which is basically observable.

I don't see anything that jumps out as falsified. Seems like a routine physical to me. Seems like reasonable results.

If you think something isn't right about it, tell me where you think the results are skewed.

I think there’s a ‘girthergate’ thing going on with him, his height, his weight, his resting heart rate, and probably anything else that makes him appear to be of sound mind and body. But since I’m not his physician I have no idea what is and what isn't accurate. That said, I spent quite a few years weighing and measuring probably around two or three thousand Soldiers in toto and I definitely believe his height and weight aren’t accurate.

Regardless, if you sift through the various topical Twitter posts there are a lot of compelling comments that definitely gives one pause, AND makes sense of his erratic behavior.

Yanno, I had this generator thing on "the Score" thread in Prison where you put in your height and weight and it generates an image of your body. We could try that?

Call the PO-lice and the fireman that thread is 22 pages long. I'll scroll as I have time here while procrastinating on what I'm actually supposed to be doing.

ETA: Started scrolling I can't do it. The CCC was on the thread now I feel shot down.

Looks about right. Lost my mojo though.
