    The cause is probably an excess of blood in the botox that's circulating through all her body. Doctors: please give her some more botox!!!

    CFK - drink lots of water (and maybe take sugar sweets).

    Possible causes for CFK's condition:

    Medications for anxiety
    Medications for blood pressure
    Heart medications
    Diuretics or “water tablets”
    Some anti-depressant medications
    Some painkillers
    Alcohol (although you should note that alcohol can also be a cause of high blood pressure)
    Dehydration
    Heart disease
    Heart valve disease
    Recent heart attack
    Changes in heart rhythm
    Bacterial infection in the system
    Kidney diseases
    Diabetes mellitus
    Haemorrhage or bleeding
    Diseases of the nervous system like Parkinson's Disease

    Possible causes for CFK's condition:

    Last but not least....:

    Being a 58 years old devoted president of a complex Country who recently lost her life companion.

    Think @ #6,

    suggest you look up the difference between proximal and ultimate causations.

    I give the medical causation;
    you show me the social background - lifelong loving caring, lost
    I'm not saying you're wrong.

    I'm saying her medical condition is , for a range of causations, treatable.

    Re: my wife - she says 'Sorry, doghouse not an option, too focussed on our online tax returns - combined brain-power essential'.

    Nobody mentioned her real (and well known) problem - she is bi-polar and going through one of her depressed modes due to the voting results in Salta, where her candidate got 8% of the vote.

    Maybe she's working too hard, she should concentrate on running her own country rather than getting bent out of shape about the Falklands.

    Think #6, #15
    “Geoff………………………...................................... Please put your wife on.
    I would like to ask her to send you to the Doghouse for a while…...........”

    I think you would like her, though she moved outside her radical-box some time ago (Spending some years in the UK can do this to you).
    She reminds me that the Doghouse is the cause of my posting profile, not the alternative. She sends her apologies and commiserations but does nor envisage any change in causation, proximal or ultimate.

    Still disagree with your #6:
    She is on the Campaign Trail, where work-face and kissing babies is everything. No time for 'weakness', especially physical collapse.
    No, this is real, it is medical, though not necessarily serious.
    Geoff.

    You say:
    I think you would like her, though she moved outside her radical-box some time ago.

    I say:
    I haven’t yet met a Brazilian lady I didn’t like...
    Besides, we “Esquerdinos” are Divinos and Superfinos…
    We have a natural predisposition to ALE (Adapt, Learn, and Evolve)…
    Why don’t follow our example and peep out of your bubble for a change?

    F. ex: Your comment on that Chilean Guns thread is quite worrying.
    Odds are that you’ll end shot with your own gun by a terrified 14 years old ratoneiro.
    And then your maid will have to clean the mess…………………..

    How long do you reckon before Argentina drifts back to being a military dictatorship? Democracy isn't really working is it?

    Think #21,
    yeah, I know, and you all have the looks and charisma of the young Banderas.

    Believe me, no bubble here and now - place is a mess of Bahian builders and artisans. The land of concrete, hammer and chisel.
    Also, extra security going in as we speak.
    Gun amnesty being administrated locally soon.
    Note I said nothing about our own personal circumstances re. guns; though its my understanding that ownership is pretty widespread - as is breaking & entering with handgun & menace.

    My not esteemed Artillero.

    To have a military dictatorship;………….. You need a..............military.

    That’s why we dismantled the military.
    That’s why “the likes of you” are in the USA not in Argentina.
    That’s why old men like me are keeping an eye on “the likes of you”.

    Get used to it.

    Let me you give you some examples of Cristina democracy. Any officer with a last name associated with, will not be promoted. No retiree from the Armed Forces are allowed to work for the government (such us IOSE, Hospital Militar, etc) If you visit somebody in jail, “te marcan” and the penal service starts an investigation ...... and that is democracy ????????????????

    (29)

    Standard procedure all over the world against “subversive military rouge elements” publicly threatening to overturn a democratic government as, for example:

    ”@ 26 ....still have many with guns and access to Units in a matter of fact the ratio now is 3 Coronels to 1 Second liuetenants , and the Generals came from the old school and their majority are ex veterans so can keep an eye on whatever you want ...... the time is kicking Mr Think. Don't worry , I will make the Governor of Chubut”

    If you, as an US Military person, wrote something like this against the USA government………
    Well, your doorbell would be ringing quite soon…………
