The Incredible Shrinking man
Medical fact Last night, I confirmed what I thought was happening to my body. I have shrunk due to suffering from arthritis . It has been accepted that arthritis sufferers bodies shrink. The reason for this is the ailment attacks, and destrroys the cartlidge that is between the bones, so instead of moving with ease, we have the constant pain of bone grinding on bone. I can't say how long I've been shrinking, but I have lost 2 inches in height; I used to be 5 feet 9 inches, I am now 5 feet 7 inches.
