Any suggestions

Hi I am 38 year old female that on March 14th  I woke up that morning with a headache, took 2 ibuprofen and didn't really think anything of it. While cooking dinner I began to see things thru both eyes that I have never seen before this lasted a few minutes. They were like half circles in zig zag shape to the left side of both eyes that also were electrifying looking as if to say like electricity. My left arm and hand began to feel funny almost jelly like and weak. The corner of the left side of my mouth became numb. My left pupil was larger than the right. Went to hosp and my b/p was high at that time. I had never before had any trouble with my b/p that I have been aware of. They immediately thot I was experiencing a TIA. They admitted me and did several tests. CT was normal. MRI was normal. CTA was normal. Heart Doppler indicated a PFO. A TEE was ordered and done with normal results. Blood work showed increased cholesterol. Was released 4 days later from hospital. With new orders for Plavix 75mg, ASA 325mg and Fish oil 4000mg a day. Everything was normal except the complete strength in my left arm and hand. Seen primary phy on that following Monday. That following thrusday I woke up with new weakness in my left leg and almost fell trying to get to the bathroom from my left leg giving out on me. Went to hosp. Seen a nuerologist at this time and was admitted. CT done and MRI done again with normal results. He suspected MS so a spinal tap was done with normal results. He sent me home with the Plavix dc'd. ASA 81mg and to cont the fish oil. He said that he said he didn't think I had a TIA.  Now the first time I was hospitalized, the day I went home my right eye started to feel weak and droopy and is getting worse with the droopiness. Its not as bad in the mornings but as the day goes on and I get more tired sometimes it gets much worse and bothers me a lot with getting blurry at times and very droopy and edematous almost. Something is going on with me. My energy level is very low and I could sleep constantly. But everything almost is turning up normal. See primary phy at end of month. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this may be or what is going on with me?
