Dilma’s pathalogical weight problem looks like an oedemic bloat – lots of water retention caused probably jointly by her lymphoma cancer-treatment immuno-compromised state, her chronic diabetes, and possibly, her recent pneumonia.

Her Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is treated with thyroid hormone replacement agents such as thyroxine. A daily tablet, taken for the rest of Dilma’s life, will keep her thyroid hormone levels normal.

But, if uncontrolled, symptoms of Hashimoto's/Ord’s thyroiditis include psychosis, weight gain, depression, mania, thermal sensitivity, numbness of the limbs, fatigue, panic attacks, bradycardia, tachycardia, high cholesterol, reactive hypoglycemia, migraines, muscle weakness, cramps, memory loss, and hair loss.
The disease may have been identified in her somewhat late, as certain of these traits feature in her published profile.

So, it’s a case of ‘keep taking the tablets’.

I learned today (in the Academy from an ex-high 'civil servant') that, before departing office, Lula inserted a constitutional clause to the effect that, should the President (Dilma) leave office (for health reasons), the VP is in post for a very short time before elections are called. In other words, the term of office of the Presidency is terminated. This, I imagine is to make Lula’s return sooner rather than later.

God help Dilma, or God help us all again!
