Spotlight on: MujjØ ???? @Muzammilmullaji_music
“Hi everyone my name is Mujjo. I’m a Music composer, record producer, singer, & songwriter from east India. I got my first symptoms of VSS when I was suffering from typhoid in 2018. It all started with static, floaters, flashes, & slowly got worse. I also suffered severe migraines. Once my typhoid medication was done my vision problems began to fade, only mild static & floaters remained.
Fast forward to November 2021, I was diagnosed with typhoid again, reduction in calcium, & Tinnitus. VSS flashes hit me even stronger than before & I thought I’m going to be blind permanently! I was feeling very anxious. This situation turned me into a very emotional person. I felt as if I was watching my life on a TV set. I’m not able to see the sky as clear as before in daytime. It’s manageable, but the nights are problematic since the VSS flashes make it too difficult to deal with.
After an appointment with an eye doctor I went through numerous eye check-ups. I came to know my eyes are 100% normal. Later I was diagnosed with VSS. At first it was difficult for me to accept but I started to think about the people who are blind, at least I’m not blind. I just see the world from a different perspective. I accepted it as part of my life & moved forward. Trust me, things got better! The people who are going through this silent disability, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. It’s hard but once you stop worrying about it the brain starts to tune it out, now I live my life normal like before. I cope with VSS & Tinnitus with help of early sleeping habits, proper diet, morning meditation, yoga, exercise, & more water intake, & music. As a music artist, I have to work on a lot of music projects so it keeps my mind busy & keeps anxious thoughts away, so definitely music is the best healer! A normal life with VSS is 100% possible. I hope in the future a cure will be found. Stay strong!”
