Has anyone else out there experienced this? It happened once while driving alone on the freeway. A feeling of heaviness in my head and eyes. I may have experienced an aura too. I'm not sure. Then half of my view of the horizon slowly started turning black. As if ink were being poured over my skull. I thought for sure it was a stroke. It may have been restricted to only one eye which was why I was still able to drive. I kept telling myself to relax and to not get scared, which I think reversed it. It lasted for only around 15 minutes. Is this possibly a symptom of TLE or something else? I can recall it happening at least 3 times in my adult life. Each time I was under extreme stress and anxiety. I also get an overwhelming deja vu sometimes. Also I used to get small pinpoints of lights, usually blue. Sometimes resembling sparks I have told my Pdoc and others about this and they just shrugg. My pdoc, one of the best in the state, convinced me that I don't have TLE. What is wrong with me? I have'nt had the blindness for years, but the fear of it coming back haunts me. I hope this post is'nt upsetting anyone out there with agarophobia.
