Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized

Lindsay Lohan was diagnosed with Chikungunya over the holidays, which is a rare, untreatable virus. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes, and the symptoms include fever, joint pain, fatigue, and a rash. Apparently the joint pain can last for months. TMZ reports that Lindsay was admitted to a London hospital with a high fever and unbearable joint pain. Lindsay has since been released after her fever broke, but she is still experiencing severe joint pain. Dina is en route to London to take care of her. All kidding aside, it sounds like she's in for a rough couple of months. Let's wish her a full and fast recovery so that we can go back to laughing at her antics and all will be right with the world again.

  1. I really feel for the mosquitoes that bit her, they had no idea what they were sinking their teeth into, poor fella's. May they RIP.

  2. I think the mosquitos who bit her probably has various type of STD's and are suffering more than her. Let have a moment of silence for the fallen mosquitos....Kidding aside. Karma is the word that comes to mind and sorry I dont feel sorry for this mean girl.

  3. Anybody know any STDs that cause "joint pain"? I still can't a) believe anything she says or b) drum up any sympathy for any actual illness she may have.

  4. I just checked the CDC site and so far this virus had only been found in the Caribbean and Americas. Lohag claims she got it in Bira BoraBora. Not saying she isn't suffering from something but if be surprised if it was really chickunkya.

    2. I am very interested in your sleuthing Sherry. When was the last case in Bora Bora? Can a mosquito survive the voyage on Moby Dick's back across whatever ocean separates the Caribbean and Bora Bora?

    1. If you're talking about w.g.o.f just ignore him/her like they aren't there. That's what the rest of us do.

  8. Folks on a Facebook post about this were ripping ol' Lindsay apart (and then there were people ripping the RIPPERS apart). I feel bad that she's sick, but Lindsay isn't garnering a whole lot of sympathy from the masses. She has brought a lot of this "hate" on herself with her behavior. Her PR people might have done better to just keep this one out of the news.

    There were some people posting from Puerto Rico and they were saying that they had also had this disease, and while it does suck, it's sort of like having the flu....it really sucks and then you get over it.

  9. Chikungunya really sounds like a dish you'd get at a food cart. Or something you might contract snorting coke off a sidewalk.

  10. It is awful being sick, but I can't believe a word that comes out of her mouth, so I get it that there will be a lot of doubters. But that's what she gets for pulling this kind of shit before.

  11. Dear VIP, sorry quick OT but can you please send me the maker of the original Carrie necklace again? I ordered one on Etsy and the font came out so ugly and nothing like the example. She's going to replace it and sent me sample fonts, none are what I want so I have to find the perfect font for the word "happy". Slanted and pointy do not work!

    1. Sorry that was longer than quick.
      Ewww Lindsay Lohan I bet it's herpes in her lungs from sneezing during the most important part of a BJ and she accidentally inhaled it into her lung's, choking, causing pneumonia like symptoms and joint pain from over exerting herself trying to cough it out. Gross. But hey, she's just being Lindsay!

  14. from wiki
    Chikungunya (/ˌtʃɪkənˈɡʌnjə/[1] chi-kən-guun-yə; Makonde for "that which bends up") is an infection caused by the Chikungunya virus. It features sudden onset fever usually lasting two to seven days, and joint pains typically lasting weeks or months but sometimes years.[2][3][4] The mortality rate is a little less than 1 in 1000, with the elderly most likely to die.[5]

    The virus is passed to humans by two species of mosquito of the genus Aedes: A. albopictus and A. aegypti.[6][7] The strain of chikungunya spreading to the US from the Caribbean is most easily spread by A. aegypti. Concern exists that this strain of chikungunya could mutate to make the A. albopictus vector more efficient. If this mutation were to occur, chikungunya would be more of a public health concern to the US because the A. albopictus or Asian tiger mosquito is more widespread in the US and is more aggressive than the A. aegypti.[8] Animal reservoirs of the virus include monkeys, birds, cattle, and rodents.[9] This is in contrast to dengue, for which only humans and primates are hosts.[10]

    The best means of prevention is overall mosquito control and the avoidance of bites by any infected mosquitoes.[11] No specific treatment is known, but medications can be used to reduce symptoms.[11] Rest and fluids may also be useful.[12

  15. the same article outlines where this disease is popping up wow something new to worry about - recent cases in Florida, Georgia, Arkansas. Okay do mosquitoes serve a purpose on this earth beyond infecting humans with various diseases, malaria, West Nile Virus now Chimichanga or whatever.

    1. I'm in Arkansas (and I lived about 3 miles from the Arkansas River for almost 30 years and now have a creek, so I see mosquitoes all the time). The city pays a company to go from street to street spraying for them once a week during spring and summer since they can get so bad. Luckily, now that I live by the creek, there are so many frogs most of the mosquitoes get eaten by them and the rest die from the spraying. But it's a bit like Wasps and Hornets, what do they really do other than attack people and sting us? And as much as I love honey, bees can call die in a mass extinction for all I care since I am deathly allergic to them (The grocery store I go to stopped selling a product because it could kill me, bee pollen. A few people got mad and didn't understand that the store didn't want to be liable if a jar busted and got onto something and killed someone with allergies lol But, hey, that's people, right?)

    2. Oh I know, I just hate doing the "Avoidance Dance" everyday during the Summer. One sting and my throat closes up and hope I can get to my epipen lol (I don't want a real mass extinction, just those in the acre or so that I'm always in lol)

  16. There is a blind on BG right now about someone lying about her health and how it won't turn out well. I will bet anything this is LiLo and she doesn't have anything of the sort but instead a case of alcohol or drug poisoning.

    2. Good find SaintsFan! That can be no one but Lindsay. As in, written by Mr X! I figured she was lying which I don't care bc it's none of my business but it is fun to discuss ;)
      The day after it was first announced she left the hospital or just that she was extremely ill, she went out clubbing the next night and instagramed a pi! So I knew she was making whatever it was, up.

  17. This is scary to me. I can be outside with group of people and be the only one bitten. For some reason (having to do with CO2 I think), certain folks are much more attractive to mosquitoes than others. Lucky me.

    I spend the warm months covered in Off. :(

    1. I'm not really the outdoorsy type, so it could be that, but I have never been bitten by a mosquito that I can remember. They land on me, and then just fly away. Go figure.

    2. Dex - I'm the same exact way. I step outside for 3 seconds and come back in with 8 mosquito bites!! Damn things find me irresistible!!!!!

  18. Lindsey has obviously gone to the well of public sympathy one too many times. I find I don't care whether she's telling the truth or lying. She's really done us North Americans a huge favor by taking her drama across the pond. It's nice not seeing her name in the news every day. I could live happily never hearing about her, Amanda Bynes, Britney and a host of others for the rest of my life. I thought Jessica Simpson was NEVER gonna go away either. Just fade away Lindsey, Oprah is the only one still buying your bullshit.

  20. regarding the bg blind::: yes i thought this whole chickamuga virus was bs too..
    a cover for something else..here is the clicky followed by the copy paste..
    freckle face liar!!
    [Naughty Gossip] Which young troubled star has everyone worried because she is drinking – A LOT – again. She has been in and out of rehab countless times, but still cannot get her life together.

    Now she is in big trouble again and lying about all her heath troubles. She is always making up excuses and blaming others. This isn’t going to end well, a close source tells NAUGHTY GOSSIP.

    1. I call BS on the blind. It's not one of Ace's BIs, or I might take it more seriously. No reputable hospital would admit someone for alcohol abuse and let them send out press releases stating it was a tropical illness.

      Regarding the bees and pollination, if science can come up with seedless fruit surely they can come up with stingless bees.

    2. @Dex, maybe I am misunderstanding but a reputable hospital will treat her for her real problem and then not say a word while she shoots her mouth off about a fake illness. There are privacy laws to keep them from calling her out.

  21. Mosquitoes dislike me and for this I am thankful.

    @Dex, there's a huge amount of research trying to figure out why some people are mosquito fondue pots and others are natural DEET. Some say blood type, some say odours, some say salinity, some say ethnicity. It's so bizarre! I went to an event where the mosquitoes were apparently having a rave and people were slapping themselves left and right, the bugs didn't even bother with me. Why?! Mother Nature is a nut job sometimes.
