I'm not on any meds and haven't been to a regular doctor for about 17 years. I don't have health insurance and guess I have irrational feelings about doctors that prevented me from going when I did have insurance.

I did check my blood sugar myself a year or two ago and it was fine- but diabetes runs in my family and I have been slightly overweight for far too long now. I will check my blood pressure again -- it's always been low, but I haven't actually checked for a few years. They didn't check at the office.

Reading about this ocular migraine makes some of the stuff the eye doctor said make more sense. When he suggested migraines, I didn't understand that you could have them without also having a headache.
