And it actually had happened in the past…

Around 20 years ago I was the CEO of a publicly listed company that I had founded 10 years earlier. I was working a lot, which means really a lot… 16 hours per day were normal for me and for 10 years I just worked every single day without a break – and was never sick. Except for a half day where I came later into my office.

Suddenly and absolutely unexpected my life changed dramatically.

From one day to another my body started to rebel against me. I had no clue what was going on but the symptoms were piling up in a matter of days.

I got

Pink eye

Rashes all over my body

Dizziness all the time

Muscle pain, especially in the legs

Sudden muscle cramps, sometimes like seizures

Joint pain in the knees, ankles, legs, arms and upper body

Several near-faint experiences

Tingling legs

Strange forms of memory loss

E.g. I couldn't remember any first names anymore, even from people I knew for a long time. Again, this happened from one day to another!
