Possible brain tumor???
This all started about 6-8 months ago. At first I was just getting migraines once a month and about 2 months ago it started happening at least once a week and has been getting worse since. My migraines are on my left eye and temple, the pain is so bad and severe I can't sleep cause it hurts too much when I do sleep and wake up in the middle of the night the pain is still there and just as bad. I have memory loss and here recently it's gotten much worse to the point I couldn't remember something that happened 15 mins ago and thought something else happened and was so convinced about it. I get confusion, vision black outs that last for a few seconds, the pain from the migraines is a really bad pressure feeling sometimes stabbing pain, today I got colored spots in my vision, slurred speech, when I have my migraines and I try to eat I get really nauseous, when I close my eyes even to blink the pain intensifies, when I lay down it also makes the pain worse. I talked to my husbands aunt who was a nurse and she told me it sounds exactly like what she was experiencing when she was told she had a brain tumor. I'm hoping this is all something else. Please help idk what to do it's all getting worse and its driving me crazy idk what it is or what to do. And I don't have insurance for another month. I can't even remember all my symptoms right now but I know something's going on with me I feel it. Is this a brain tumor or something else?? Is it serious??
Nope :( and I can see I live right down the street from a hospital only thing I'm worried about is the bill it will be ridiculous.
Can you get what is called cobra - from a former employer?
In any case, see if local hospitals have charity care if you don't feel you can wait.

I'm not on obamacare because my husband is about to be military. He leaves mid February for it but the insurance won't take place til probably end of fen beginning march.
In general, you can go to an ER without insurance. Although I thought with the new obamacare that you could get a policy sooner?
There is no way to know what it is - and migraines can be awful or it can be something else, but you have to get to a doctor to know.
Check back in after you see someone.
