   HI There,
   I suggest that you have an immediate consult done. Was the visual blurring further assessed? An ophthalmologic consult to help determine if this is localized to the eye only should be done. We need to rule out bleeding problems here. Determination of bleeding time and levels of coagulation factors (PTT and aPTT as well as fibrinogen and homocysteine levels may help).  Rash in the lower extremities may suggest vascular problems, fungal infections, irritant dermatitis or stasis dermatitis. These have to be differentiated . A single disease entity may help explain all your symptoms.
   Thanks
