Just another suggestion: the wild beasts Paul fought with in Ephesus was
sickness [not any congenital thing like blindness or epilepsy, but just
being as sick as a dog]. The context suggests it was a physical thing. If
v31 is related, then anyone who has been really sick knows that it feels
like one 'is dying every day'! Artemidorus somewhere likens sickness to a
wild animal.
