So, I used to think blue light was only something to worry about when it came to sleep. You know—phones before bed, tossing and turning all night. But it turns out, blue light is doing a number on something way deeper than sleep. I’m talking about your skin’s collagen. Yep, that vital protein that keeps…
I know this might sound a bit woo-woo at first glance, but just hear me out — I used to think the moon only affected tides and maybe a few werewolves. But after tracking my back pain patterns over several months (yeah, I went there with the spreadsheet), I noticed something odd. My flare-ups had…
There’s something magical about watching the sunrise—until those little squiggly shadows start dancing across your vision, stealing the moment. If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I notice floaters more when watching the sunrise?”—you’re definitely not the only one. I remember sipping my morning coffee, eyes fixed on the soft golden light peeking over the trees,…
So, here’s something weird that happened to me not too long ago. I was sitting in my car after a long day, air conditioner blasting because—hello—it was one of those 38°C kind of days. About halfway into the drive, I noticed these odd little specs and squiggles drifting across my vision, especially when I glanced…
Chest pain is scary. There’s really no other way to say it. I remember sitting at my desk one afternoon, feeling this tight, nagging pain right in the center of my chest. For a split second, I thought, “Is this it? Is this a heart attack?” I was in my early 30s, relatively healthy, no…
Ever lay back under a clear night sky, ready to soak in the stars, only to get distracted by those annoying little floaty specks dancing across your vision? Yeah, same here. There’s something oddly frustrating about trying to enjoy a peaceful stargazing moment and suddenly noticing tiny shadows drifting around like they own the place….
For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out why my back always felt stiff in the early morning and weirdly again around mid-evening—even though I wasn’t doing anything physically demanding. I chalked it up to age, posture, stress, maybe my mattress. But after talking to a physical therapist and diving into sleep and neuroscience rabbit…
I’ve lived with autoimmune back issues for over a decade now, and I’ve noticed something odd—something I never saw coming. Whenever there’s a full moon, it feels like someone turned up the volume on my symptoms. My back stiffness tightens, the aches deepen, and I sometimes even feel like I’ve aged 10 years overnight. At…
I’ll never forget the first time I noticed them. I was at my graduation, tears of joy welling up as my name was called—and then, bam. Little threads or translucent squiggles dancing in my field of vision. At first, I thought it was just the lighting or maybe all the emotion. But nope, those were…
