TIA symptoms but ALL tests come back negative for anything

@neisie13 honestly, yes, I was really scared, so much so that I had a small accident with my car. I wasn’t hurt, but it really scared me. This had never happened to me before, and what caught my attention the most was what happened when I was reading.
I went to the ER, and they did some tests to check my physical strength and make sure I had normal control of both my arms and both my legs. They only did a blood test. They haven’t done a CT scan or an MRI.
It seems very strange to me. It has only happened to me once, yesterday. I don’t know if it will happen again, but since it has happened to you several times, I really think it’s something that should be investigated further. There must be some way to find out what’s causing it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

@carmenb6 Do you have a primary care doctor? I'm not sure if you need a referral from him/her to see a specialist but maybe you can get a referral to see a neurologist to at least do the basic tests to rule out anything major. It took me several months to even get in to see the neurologist but my primary care doctor had already ordered an MRI. Well, I wish you good luck in your search for a cause and please keep in touch. Let me know how you are doing and if you were able to get any more testing done.
