What kind of illness was Kaori Miyazono suffering from?


Does anyone know what kind of illness Kaori Miyazono was suffering from?

  * Kaori Miyazono is a girl about 14 years old
  * It has caused her to be hospitalized several times prior to the events of the series.
  * The disease causes her to collapse during a violin performance
  * It appears to cause her to have trouble walking, and is ameliorated by rehabilitation
  * It causes seizures that can cause unconsciousness, and lead to her being placed in the ICU
  * It is cured or temporarily halted by surgery, but the surgery is highly risky, and can result in patient death

According to the [series' wiki](http://shigatsu-wa-kimi-no-
uso.wikia.com/wiki/Kaori_Miyazono), it is speculated that it was [bone marrow
failure](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_failure),

> due to the change in her skin pigmentation and the need for an operation.




In my theory, her disease is Friedreich's Ataxia. Symptons begins between the
ages of 5 to 15. Muscle weakness in the arms and legs and loss of coordination
are symptons.

It causes heart disorders. In Episode 20, she may be having a severe and
painful tachycardia, and a following cardiac arrest. The surgery may be to
implant a pacemaker, but another arrest killed her during the surgery.
