Interesting, though either way he’s dead now.

Here's a long distance diagnosis for you. Scandinavian porphyria and intermittent Celiac Syndrome.

Those two things could account for 100% of his symptoms plus the death of his son.

All wrong. Lincoln was suffering explosive gastro-colic reflex discharge and priapism.

[george76]

On the train back to Washington that evening, Lincoln was feverish and had severe headaches. Then he developed back pains, exhaustion and a widespread scarlet rash that turned blister-like. A servant who tended to Lincoln during the three-week illness later developed smallpox and died in January 1864.

The smallpox theory isn’t news to many historians...?
