Just wanted to let you folks know that I did all my checkups and everything. Given my account of the symptoms I experienced, the lack of physical markers associated with TIAs, and my age range and vitals, my doctors and my opthometrist are certain that what I experienced was an ocular migrane, and not a TIA.
That's a huge relief! Weird for me, though...
I don't ever get headaches (or at least, I don't feel pain from them to know if I have them or not), so it's odd to experience the tertiary side effects of an ocular migrane without the pain, and how unsettling it was in the way it effected me. Still, it's good to know for the future if I happen to have one again!
Now for the truly scary part... Waiting for the medical bill.
I had big plans for my stimulus money before all this went down... Let's see if I can be frivolous with it or if it's going to medical bills! I'll take that over waiting for a possible stroke, though.
