Lost a good friend today, known her for about three years, sometimes I guess I haven't been the best friend in the world, and even though I always meant well I don't think it always shows, so to her I'm sorry and I hope she can forgive me.

On another note, somewhat sad I would guess is that I have a form of arthritus called Ankylosing spondylitis, it effects the lumbar bones in the spine, causing them to rub. When the bones heal they fuse and create new bones. Eventually this leads to a loss of movement in the spine, and thus a loss of mobility in the spine. Also effecting nerves in the hand, arms and legs.

Since the age of 7 I've had what the doctors usually call 'Growing Pains', a term usually (it is real) used to blow a patient off, not knowing what they have. Turns out these shooting pains in arms and legs are caused by my spine fusing and messing with my nerves. Recent numbness in the tips of my fingers have practically confirmed it. I decided to get a second opinion at a top rated chinese doctor (11 years at medical school), and he confirmed I have this.

If I dont have treatment I could end up in a wheelchair with no movement of the spine / nerves in 2-3 years worst case. Best case im ok and medium case I get metal polls in my back to support my spine. A little bit of news to update you guys (nobody reads so its cool), Also university tomorrow, so yeah! Plus Japan in a month, cant wait!
