Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated. I have an appt with an eye specialist if April. I Will be seeing my doctor this next week and if he doesn't recommend an MRI, I am going to ask for one. It is the unknown that is the worst. My father died of a stroke so that is always in the back of my mind which also frustrates me that the ER doctor didn't order one when I told her of my father's stroke. I think she dropped the ball. My husband and I both felt like we weren't taken seriously since I walked into the ER. I wonder if I would have been treated differently if I had arrived by ambulance. Question rather I ever want to go back to that hospital again.

I’ve had a few TIAs now. They were all different. Can you describe more what you saw? You said everything went white. 100%? You couldn’t see anything but white? Partially? Did you close one eye then the other to see if it was one eye or both? White or bright like overexposed? How long did it last? Did it go away suddenly or slowly? Sorry for playing 20 questions. Just trying to get a better feel about your experience and then I’ll comment.
