00:00I've been sober for years.

00:02Dancing is just how I reset.

00:06I can disconnect from the world like when I'm up in the air.

00:09The problem is this accident has opened

00:11your entire life to scrutiny.

00:12Tell me something, before your vision flipped,

00:15did you see anything else unusual?

00:20The Manhattan skyline started having black dots

00:22all over the buildings.

00:30I want you to write something for me.

00:36What?

00:37Anything.

00:38Just a complete sentence.

00:48What are we doing?

00:50Those investigators will say that video is all the proof they need.

00:54There are drugs that are indetectable and can cause patients

00:57to claim they're seeing upside down when, in fact,

00:59they're just high.

01:00So I need Elle to provide undeniable proof

01:04that her brain is actually wired upside down.

01:29Elle, this proves that you're not seeing upside down.

01:34Your brain is processing upside down.

01:39And I know the cause.

01:41The flip vision, the coma states, the disturbances in speech,

01:44the weakness, they're all symptoms of one thing.

01:47A rare complex basilar migraine.

01:50A migraine?

01:52I've never even had a headache.

01:54Well, typically complex migraines don't come with a headache,

01:57but rather neurological disturbances called aura.

02:01And those black dots you saw were an aura, a warning sign of a migraine.

02:05It's one of the most mysterious phenomena of the human brain.

02:09Can't migraines just come on at any time?

02:12I'm never going to trust myself to fly again.

02:14Let's just start you on meds, all right, before you ground yourself.

02:17Medication can successfully stop migraine symptoms,

02:20but to prevent them from happening altogether,

02:23we need to get underneath what's triggering your migraines.

02:26And we have the perfect doctor here to help you with that.

02:30Yes, she is wonderful.
