JFK was unwell
Long before his death
Chronic back pain for all of his life
Caused him much distress
Intestinal problems/issues
Often hospitalized
Fatigue and nausea and dizziness
Little we realized
All that being said, when asked how was he feeling
his answer was always I’m feeling in “excellent shape”
