kickahaWent to doc this morning.
I have a CAT scan appt for next week for da brainmeats, and they took four vials of my precious bodily fluids (the red kind) for processing, cataloging, and tagging.
When I actually sat down and wrote out every symptom I had over that 24 hr period, it was kind of astonishing, really. A whole realm of gobbledygoo that may or may not be related, but... interesting.
Another interesting point: that heightened visual acuity? I *can* get it back, to an extent... if I concentrate a tad, things jump into insane focus. I can individual pixels on this laptop screen, for instance, or count blades of grass on the lawn a hundred feet away. It goes away as soon as I stop thinking about it, and there's a bit of tension to do it, but I *can*. I have *lousy* eyesight, generally, so this is just nuts, but I'll take it. The only other time I've had something similar, I was 16, had massive headpains in the same spot that the 'pop' happened Tue night, and went blind for an hour. I wonder if some bit of the visual cortex woke up Tue night after almost two decades. (Diagnosis back then was: we dunno, stress-induced migraine maybe.)

Date: 2006-05-05 02:09 pm (UTC)I've been trying to get him to see a doc about this for 10 years now, so I'm thrilled he's going. He's taking far better care of himself than he ever has, and, while this episode was more intense than normal, they're becoming less common in general. Hooray!
