-7 because my dad has just been diagnosed with arthritis. I think that shortens your life and makes it a life of pain. My mom has it as well, so since both parents have it that is what I am going to get when I get older. How fun. I explained the other reasons why I'm feeling pretty low already yesterday or the day before.
I don't think arthritis shortens your lifespan, it can just make some tasks rather painful (but you can take medicine and painkillers for that). Look on the bright side, at least you're not predisposed to heart disease like I am; like clockwork, my blood pressure is already a little high. Now THAT will shorten your lifespan.
