And I was editing, editing, looking at this computer, and my eyesight started to go blurry.

And I just couldn't really see the computer that well.

And I was like, I need to stop.

I can't really see anymore.

And I was walking home, and everything's just blurry.

And then, oh, I remember I had weird heart palpitations.

So I went to the doctor to get an EKG, and they were like, you seem fine.

Maybe you're just in love.

Yeah.

It just feels like everything in my body is breaking in a weird way.

Terrible fatigue, horrible brain fog.

And this feeling in the left side of my brain, just like, the best way I can describe it is I feel like an ice cream scoop has been taken out of my head.

I tried this like elimination diet where all I could eat was like grapefruit and goat cheese and oatmeal.

I tried like a very intense regimen of Chinese herbs that a doctor in New York City invented and manufactured himself.

But at every turn, you're like, am I being preyed upon?

I'm spending so much money.

I was just looking down this road that looked really bleak.

And this was around the time when I was working with a chronic disease life coach who was starting to say things like, well, Ora, what would it be like if you never get better?

Why don't we start thinking about that?

Like to have kind of radical acceptance.
