Let me tell you something weird that happened after I got hit with a nasty fever last winter. The fever broke, I started to feel better… but then something strange caught my eye—literally. These little translucent squiggles were drifting around every time I looked at a blank wall or the sky. At first, I thought…
So there I was, mid-zoom call, trying to focus on the presentation when—bam—those little squiggly shadows started drifting across my vision. Again. If you’ve ever juggled a full inbox, back-to-back deadlines, and a throbbing tension headache, you probably know what I mean. It’s that frustrating combo: your head feels like it’s in a vise, and…
I’ll never forget the time I left a concert with my ears ringing—and something even more unexpected: strange little shapes floating in my vision.
