Abraham Lincoln's shape certainly does make one think of the possibility, also as in every patient diseases turn out differently severe, not everyone shows all symptoms to the same degree (or nor at all). However, I find it a bit amazing that he obviously isn't allowed to have had this disease. (One of my profs would say every patient, or everyone, has the right to even suffer from more than one disease...)

Years ago, I watched this tennis-ball of a medical theory bounce back and forth; frankly, I think we have to go with the comments that the "autopsy" doctors made about Lincoln's muscular physique. Then, we should pay attention to the late-Dr. John Lattimer and also our own forum member, Dr. Edward Steers, Jr. -- the latter spent years in the hierarchy of the U.S. National Institutes of Health as well as being an expert in the Lincoln field.
