The symptoms you describe could be consistent with a TIA, migraine, or seizure. Given the fact that you have had seizures in the past, re-evaluation to exclude these as seizures is recommended. Also, the fact that you are an otherwise healthy 31 year old makes a TIA less likely.
Therefore, seeing the doctor is reasonable to have this re-evaluated. If this happens again cover each eye independantly to determine if the visual problem is only present in one eye or both. This will help your local doctor. Good luck.
Maybe I should also add that I have been having other medical problems. About the same time that I stopped my meds (7 mo ago) I had rt side abdominal surgery, and I have been having complications from that which all point toward adhesions. Tests (blood and urine tests, abdominal CT scan, colonoscopy) all come out normal, though I have had thirst causing me to drink 5 liters/day, side pain which sometimes extends down the inside of my thigh, eczema, etc., etc.. If, by some random chance, I had adhesions restricting the flow of blood in the femoral artery, would this cause such problems as this episode last weekend? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi, just wondering if you might be taking a medication that would cause you to drink so much. I'm on Dilantin and drink even more than you! I also had surgery (hysterectomy in Feb.) and just got through with getting a growth out of my throat. I get pain going down my left leg, which I figured out it was my bowels causing the pain. Hopefully your probelm is just anxiety; although, I shouldn't say "just" because it's hard to deal with.Hope things work out well for you. Donna
Thanks, Donna. No meds are causing the thirst...all I'm taking is birth control. I'd be surprised if it was anxiety since I had no such problems during my thesis write up (when I was under a LOT more stress!). I guess it's probably related to my nervous system and stopping the meds. Unfortunately, the doctors I've been to offer no suggestions, and the only one who might be able to - the neurologist - I can't afford to visit and my insurance company refuses to pay (pre-existing condition clause). Sadly, I think I'll just have to learn to live with it...
