Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No. Up until maybe three years ago, I would say, yeah, it's basically behind me. Like I have a creak in the knee or whatever. But in the last three years, it was crazy. I suddenly start to have spasms and my muscles will get super tight and the doctors couldn't explain it. And they told me at one point that I have this autoimmune disease called stiff person syndrome.

Which is essentially like a death sentence for the most part. And people die within like six years, usually. And so they told me that I had it. And they told me I had it a month before Beau was born, my son. And I'm like, this isn't a cool thing to say to me. So I'm on the toilet at 4 a.m. looking at videos of people with stiff person syndrome. I'm like, I don't want this to be my life.

And then six months goes by or then they tell me, well, maybe you don't have it because I had one of the markers, but not the other marker in my blood. And they're like, maybe you don't have it. And then six months goes by and I'm shooting gemstones. And they're like, we do think you have it.
