Sorry, I thought you knew what you were talking about.

Addison's disease presents itself in impotence, early-on and progressive.

It's been written for 30 years that JFK had advanced Addison's Disease which was diagnosed in his youth.

It begs the question...was this supposed serial philanderer impotent? If so, the Rat Pack had lots more fun than he did.

Facts so often get in the way when the topic is JFK.

This article is just more Necrophilia-chic.

Oh brother! Kennedy was diagnosed with Addison's in 1947. He fathered Caroline Kennedy in 1957 and John Jr in 1960 -- the year of his election to president.

"Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone."

"The symptoms of adrenal insufficiency usually begin gradually. Chronic, worsening fatigue and muscle weakness, loss of appetite, and weight loss are characteristic of the disease."

"Treatment of Addison's disease involves replacing, or substituting, the hormones that the adrenal glands are not making."

was this supposed serial philanderer impotent?

Obviously not in 1960, 13 years after being diagnosed with Addison's.

Like I said, next time do your own research and then you won't have to make a fool of yourself. You are dismissed.
