John F. Kennedy contracted appendicitis at age 14, requiring an appendectomy. At 16, JFK became ill and was hospitalized for months, under evaluation for colitis. Kennedy was diagnosed at age 30 with a rare endocrine disorder, Addison's disease. He likely suffered other illnesses as a Congressman and as President, but as far as possible these were kept secret from the public.
