I've often wondered if JFK had AS. Every time I read something about his back trouble, and the fusion surgery, I have to wonder?

I have two JFK related tidbits...First his back was severly injured in a WWII - PT boat incidentSecond, his dad stock piled Prendisone to insure JFK always had a ready supply...(A new wonder drug at the time)

No, he had Addison's which is a glandular disorder that relates to the production of certain hormones, which in turn affects the skeletal system.

Actually I was reading a article a couple weeks ago they are actually considering it and looking at all symptons. Amazing it!

I have always wondered if Abe Lincoln had it. Well...not always but ever since I found out about AS.
I think Abe had Marfan Syndrome. There's been some suggestion that the photos of him show the edema in his throat related to the heart problems. Did he also have terrrible back and feet problems like JFK? by Amori99 3 weeks ago
I don't know. I do know he lived in Pennsylvania because I heard he had a Gettysburg address. I have been to visit the battlefields in Gettysburg but I could never find his house there. They must have tore it down.
Lols.
