Anyone who sees Steve Jobs these days will know there’s something wrong with him. He was not even able to make the keynote address at this year’s Macworld expo. He was so thin when he made an appearance at the 2008 Worldwide Developers Conference. And in August Bloomberg accidentally published his obituary though he was still very much alive! All speculations about his health condition has already triggered concern among Apple investors thus, he was forced to break his silence regarding the issue.

In the open letter he made, he revealed that yes he has been losing weight throughout 2008 due to hormonal imbalance. At first he and his doctors couldn’t find what the problem was, but through a series of blood tests they found out it was hormonal imbalance.

According to him, treating the problem is easy and he immediately proceeded with the treatment. It’s expected that recovery would be a slow process and that it won’t be until late spring before he regains all the weight he lost in the past few months. When he recovers he will continue to be Apple’s CEO. Right now he is staying home, recovering and spending time with his family.

We can only wish Steve Jobs a speedy recovery. Apple’s board of directors has given Jobs its unwavering support during his recovery.
