God Emperor Megathread (Trump and his presidency)

[Auli]

But everything Trump does turns into a dumpster fire, you see.

This will not be made fun of at all.

Well it's not so funny anymore when you read this

I’m sure glad I had real health insurance (not Trumpcare) when I got hit with shingles and then Ramsay Hunt Syndrome back in July 2015. Slow recovery and still no Jimmy Carter smile. A shingles shot by age 50 and health insurance are a must for all.

In July 2015, Painter was diagnosed with shingles and Ramsay Hunt syndrome, leaving his face partially paralyzed.

Though I have to agree, when will you Americans start having proper healthcare? Not just the system itself but
prophylaxis plays a major part in saving money and making it work universal. If Germany had as many fat people as America in % the health care system would easily collapse.

Blame insurance companies.

I've had shingles. Twice. On the same place (top left in my face, it never goes on both sides at the same time. It's weird that way). I also got my treatment not quick enough, so now I have slight nerve-pain and "nerve-itch" as I call it.

Annoying af.

I thought he had a stroke or Bell's Palsy.

Even if you get treatment fast enough you can still end up with nerve damage. I had it on the right side of my face, around my ear, and all the way to the back of my head along my neck. To this day you still can't put too much pressure on the inside of my ear without it making me involuntarily yank back and yell in pain and I got treatment for it the day after I noticed a few bumps on my ear that didn't go away after I vigorously washed the area and had a good night's sleep.

Pepsi low-key trying to out-damage Auli. You're fighting a losing battle, lad. When Auli browses web.md it's more nostalgic to him than a family photo album.

Auli rubbed a magic lamp and asked for immortality, but it was an evil genie. The price he pays is he lives forever in the hospital and suffers from all illnesses simultaneously.

Lyrica worked great on me. I got it first when I had Peripheral neuropathy. In my feet and some in my hands. I just woke up one day, i pain, and I couldn't walk.

That was fun... but the nerve pain after shingles. Holy fuck. Imagine getting stabbed with a hot knife right about your eyebrow. After 5-6 seconds, you get stabbed a bit over that. Then again and again until it stops at the top of the head. I've never fallen to my knees, screaming in pain, but that did it xD

lawl :p I learned over the years, being sick a lot and other people NOT being sick, that it's all relative. I had a friend who was 1literally never sick. I bet if he got 40*C/104*F fever. he'd cry and cry and waiting for death. I've been like "oh, pneumonia... darn. now i can't be at my pc for awhile".

Maybe that happened. Maybe. Seems plausible. When I was a dumb teenager I was like "there's balance in the Universe, so if I'm sick... maybe someone else isn't?" And that was ok for me.
But after being in rehab, I think I'¨m pretty lucky. There were people there who can never walk and people who are literally waiting to die. That changed my state of mind.

Another theory is that I made a deal with the devil 26 years ago to make Trump president in 2016 in change with being sick. Worth it.
