Foggy,

 

It might be aura, but it might also be something as innocent as the "floaters" many of us tend to get in our eyes as we age.

 

I'd love to be able to give you a firm answer, but the only person who can do that is a doctor who can review your and your family's medical history, discuss your symptoms with you, and conduct a complete examination.

 

Please keep me posted?

 

Teri
