“Once upon a time, I had zero health problems,” Caulfield told the publication.
That feeling when you’ve sat in a position too long?

But it was extremely dull.
I went to my acupuncturist, and he was like, ‘I don’t know, man.
Maybe you have Bell’s palsy?'"
At the insistence of her acupuncturist, Caulfield went to a neurologist for an MRI.
She received the call confirming her MS diagnosis when she returned to set.
“I had five minutes down or whatever.
And he was like: ‘You have MS.’ Just like that,” she recalled.
“It was like an out-of-body experience.
I’m like, ‘No, that’s not possible.’
I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’
He was very matter-of-fact about it.
‘Well, you could get a second opinion…’ It was literally a kind of nightmare….
It turns out it was something major.
Then I was like, ‘I’ve got to go to work now.’
What do I do?”
I just have to keep going."
“It just touched on really basic human emotions, like a life blueprint,” she told EW.
“‘I don’t have any friends.
I feel isolated.’
Those sort of core human emotions.”
