Strange symptoms

[AMC5]

Just over a year ago I experienced strange symptoms. I am 30 yr old, good health, don't smoke, don't drink.  One morning I started having trouble speaking.  Saying wrong words, couldn't read, could barely dial the phone, forgot phone numbers, wrote down wrong numbers when being told what numbers to dial.  About a half hour before this had visual problems.  It was like everything was jiggling.  Wasn't "dizzy", just everything around me was almost  like bouncing.  Whole visual episode lasted about 20 minutes, trouble thinking, speaking, lasted about 10 minutes.  Couldn't even get the names of my children right.  Was very concerend.  Went to ER, did CT-normal.  Weeks later had MRI  w/o contrast, US of heart, neck, thyroid.  All normal.  Blood work all normal except elevated Thyroid which later when re-checked was normal.  Neurologist thought possible TIA, then changed to possible Atypical Migraine.  No history of Migraines.  Had dull headache when all over.  Since then have had a few visual problems, and some dizzy spells.  Nothing like what happened that day.  Any ideas?  Does this sound more like a type of Migraine?  Thanks for your time.

Pathetic predictions?  "Who" is prediciting "what"?  I am not in support of any particular theory on what has caused my neurological symptoms.  I personally don't have an answer from my neurologist, so naturally, one keeps searching for possible answers.  To keep an open mind, and to keep searching.  Something has to be causing these neuro problems that many people are experiencing, for which there are no answers for.  That is all I was trying to convey here.

Ouch!  Hypochondriacs?  One could only be so lucky.  My guess is that most people that post questions on this board are facing potentially life changing medical diagnoses and are desperate for additional information.  No, I don't think they're hypochondriacs...

Hey, Nostradamus, I'm not going to reply to your pathetic "predictions". Go find someone ignorant enough to care about yout opinion.

It's very easy to talk about things you don't know. I'll only post one more reflexion... Why is it that this weird theories are always supported by mysterous strangers and not by scientists?

This is my last note, just to say that my post still stands because it is common sense.  The kind of nonsense you are spitting is fodder for the hypochondriacs that post here....

Well said.

After experiencing strange neuro syptoms, I have read a lot on neurological maladies.  Some of the reading has come from medical books, and some from the web.  Of course you can't believe everything you read on the web, but I would not discount any theory of what may cause neuro symptoms, especially when the cause is unknown.  Medicine is not an exact science, but an evolving one.  I have the utmost respect for medical doctors and those involved in the medical field.  However, numerous times the FDA has  has given its approval for consumption of a product, only to revoke its approval later.  I am not saying that what is on the web about Aspartame is true, only to keep an open mind.  That is how solutions are found.
