What causes loss of vision?

Since 1997 I had started having oculars without migraine and then suddenly this year something changed. The auras are gone and now I get what starts out like the feeling of fingers being run up the back of my head only to feel as if its going through my brain and spreading  and then I get what feels like someone taking their fist and pushing on either side of my right and left eye and pushing them together and the I lose total focus of my eyes.(all this happens at the same time) these things only show up once or twice a week.

I also still have blind spots that show up on the left eye in any given place on the eye these usually show up every day, several times a day. I also started having memory problems and stuttering trying to find words two weeks before the EEG was done, which also started after the finger thing feeling in the hair and brain and the loss of focus. these last 10 to 15 minutes. The ones with blind spots are usually only there 1 to 3 minutes.

I have been to 2 neurologist and they can't seem to come to a decision. First one did a EEG and said I had a focal over left and right temporal lobe with the left being the worst, MRI was normal.

2nd Neurologist just said today that "Memory is caused by old age yet it didn't show up until 2 weeks before EEG, severe screaming muscle spasms up back, down arm across ribs and up chest that feel like I am being squeezed and I start hyperventilating because I feel like I can't breath are stress. Yet I also get arm, leg and feet and toe spasms that are horrible. And eye things are migraines.

I have Undifferentiated Connective tissue disease, Raynauds, Livedo Reticularis, Hypothyroidism and had thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer, Mitral valve prolapse, hypoglycemia, Dry eyes,

I am on B-12 shots once a month for severe deficiency, Vitamin D 1000 IU a day for severe deficiency, Synthroid 75mcg, Estradiol 1 mg, Folic Acid 4 mg, Methyl/Prednisone 2 tablets a day, protonix once a day.

This should be posted on the neurology forum, it is not an eye problem

So, are you telling me you don't think it is eye migraines that is causing this? I have posted it on the Neurology board but not getting any replies.
