I would not get a CT scan if I were you. Unless your symptoms get dramatically worse they are unnecissary. Especially if you cant afford it.

Teaaquinn,

Thanks. That actually kinda makes me feel better... the incident I had this afternoon with my vision really scared me.

I just got home and tried to verify my new "insurance," and it looks like I may not be going to the dr tomorrow after all. My doctor is not on my new insurance, and I highly doubt anyone else will see me immediately

Feeling very discouraged right now. I'm sure this is my headache making me feel worse, but I feel so depressed about this whole thing right now that I just want to curl up in a ball and stay there.

Okay... after looking at my insurance options on their website, it looks like about all I can do is go to an urgent care or a minute-clinic type place, unless one of the primary care providers happens to have an opening for tomorrow, which I doubt they will since I'll be a new patient. I'm a little afraid to go to an urgent care for this, though; the ones near me aren't that great (although I can't go to any of the ones near me on this insurance; the only ones on this list are 20+ miles away!). Thoughts?

Also, would this count as a "nervous disorder?" If so, my policy won't cover it at all. I'm officially screwed.
