Pres FDR a victim?

It is now suspected that Pres FDR didn't have polio, but

   Does cousin Daisy Suckley's Diary of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, America's 32nd President, mention a time when he had flu-like symptoms?

The History Channel Documentary 4-23-05 and 4-24-05, FDR: A Presidency Revealed talked about things that would be like what overexposure to 2-butoxyethanol would cause:

*

enlarged heart

many horrible HEADACHES -   some at the base of the head,

tired, ashen/pale color,

difficulty finishing thoughts in sentences (short term memory loss),

difficulty concentrating.

Also high blood pressure (180/105),

rapid weight loss (liver?)

Repeated headaches.  Headaches were intensifying

4-11-45 as he went to bed he was 'shivering'    (chills?)  

After an acute headache at the back of his head, he collapsed on 4-12-45 and died a few hours later.
 

Was there an autopsy?

*  Pandemic Flu 1918, right?

 Franklin Delano Roosevelt had flu-like symptoms!   in 1917

In 1917 FDR goes to European front lines & gets as close as they will let him.  On return voyage, he comes down with a 'strange' influenza  -  PBS video

After an acute headache at the back of his head, he collapsed on 4-12-45 and died a few hours later.  It is reported that he died of a cerebral hemorrhage ... was there an autopsy? NO! If it was advanced stages of the fatigue of CFIDS ... the doctors would not have found it.  They still don't even now - 60 + years later.

     
What we would call CFIDS or 'gulf war syndrome' today.

It is now suspected that he didn't have polio, but
