Hi everyone! ヾ(°∇°*)

I won’t be able to go into this as extensively as I would like to since I’m still having vision problems but I wanted to let you guys know the basics of what’s going on. I have to be watched due to my PFO and the severity of my migraines. When I have a migraine, I have stroke-like symptoms. They’re always the same so I know what they’re going to entail, however, a few days ago I started to experience something different. I have bright flashing lights, sort of like a white flickering strobe light in the corner of my left eye. I’ve had it for three days now and I was concerned enough about it being something new that I decided to go get it looked at. I went to our local clinic but they sent me to the hospital because they were concerned about a retinal tear. The hospital doctor feels pretty confident that I don’t have a tear and that my eye itself is okay. He also went over my brain scans and blood vessel tests from just last year and he doesn’t seemed concerned about my head either. They diagnosed me as having a possible optical migraine. They don’t really know what’s going on. If it continues I’ll have to go back in. They suggested that I go see an opthamologist but that’s not something I can afford as it’s not covered by my insurance. I’m a little concerned because the left side of my body has been really out of whack these past few weeks but I know that I’ll get through it. At least, I hope so. I have so much going on with my body lately that I feel like I can’t keep up with it. Thank you all for you love and support. You’re super sweet. I’m going to post the messages I received below with my responses (under the cut). <3
