In The Past Few Months I Have Had 2 Probably

In the past few months I have had 2 probably TIA's where I actually went blind in one eye and saw prisms dancing in my field of vision. I am a 55 y.o. female. I have a history of herneated discs and such and have terrible weakness in my legs, if I try to run I am eating dirt by the third stride. However, lately they have been getting even weaker. Stepping off a step stool I fell because my leg simply failed to hold me up. Then last night I woke up, for an unknown reason, I don't usually do that, and I went to get out of bed. Upon standing I hit the floor. Both legs failed me. I broke my toe in the process but have no idea how I did that. I was conscious, didn't pass out or anything. Does this sound back related or like another TIA? By the way, I won't have insurance until November when the government opens the door again, so I am waiting. If I'm heading for a full blown stroke, will aspirin help? Thanks
