Our Paul Had An Ulcer

This could be included in odds and ends about Paul, but it could point to more serious health problems that Paul had . . .

Several years ago, I was reading Love Me Do:  The Beatles' Progress, a 1964 book by American author Michael Braun.  He spent at least three days traveling with The Beatles on their late November, 1963 UK tour.  In the 2010 book, Beatlemania!  The Real Story of The Beatles UK Tours 1963-1965, by author Martin Creasy, Creasy mentions Braun traveling with them on November 26, 27, and 28, 1963.   According to Braun, after the November 27th. concert, Paul ran off the stage shouting, "'Oh my God, my ulcer.'"  Our Paul replaced the real Paul McCartney in early November, 1963, so this was definitely our Paul who had the ulcer.  Paul was approximately 21 at the time (because he obviously didn't have real Paul's birth date and--as far as I'm aware--no one has yet  tracked his birth date down.)  A young age to have an ulcer!  A Paul-is-dead discussion board speculated that Paul had another intestinal disease--a possibility.  As the pressure of Beatlemania built, Paul could have had other health problems and this might lead to another approach at finding out what happened to him.  But I do not think it was health problems that led to his being replaced.
