So sorry I missed the post in reference to the TIA issue if it had been that---
Lou had 2 TIA's with him his one eye just went totally black---could see nothing---lasted about 15 minutes and then sight came back----but stubborn as he is --would not go to the hospital--until a few dayz after and they told him that good thing it stopped at the eye cus the next stop would have been the brain!!! They kept him and did a thorough check--
His second occured about 2 years later--in the opposits eye--lasted a shorter time--this time we zipped to the hospital--
And of course --they are termed mini strokes--again---he was checked and carotic artiers etc. A-OK
Is everything OK now??

Hi Mrs. Columbo,
I did a lot of research on it, and I'm sure it wasn't a TIA. I never had any real symptoms of a TIA - nothing ever stopped working right, and no part of my vision in either eye went black, not even for a fraction of a second. It was just an aura, in the form of a scintillating scotoma, that slowly expanded, just as they commonly do, during a migraine aura.
I'm OK. Thanks for asking.
Luve,

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
