have had sudden episodes of blurry left eye, lightheadedness and ringing in my ears. Not sure if this is migrane without headache or MS or what? Docs are passing me off and an ENT recently ordered an MRI of my brain to rule out MS. Would they need to use the dye for this and would they also need to look at the optic nerve area and spine all while in there? I do not want to have to have this over and over...if not warrented. The ENT admitted that he knows nothing about migranes or Ms but HE WANTS TO BE THE ONE WHO ORDERS THE MRI. I want a neurologist but I am having toi beg them for referrals. HELLLLLLP please. This has been two months of episodes. Sometimes I am fine, others I am lightheaded and ringing is constant. And if I need to be tested for Migranes...how do they do this? Do I need an MRI and what type? I am afraif this doc wants to see the brain MRI but may not be ordering the right thing.
Am frustrated and need help.
Side note...have severe neck tightness (like what i used to have during tension headache episodes), and yesterday I overheated and pulse was really fast with little exersion. During episodes pin pricks in arms, hands, lower legs and when my neck is tense...have has numbness for 12 or so years in face and arm. Thought it was due to neck tightness.
