In 2018 I found my mother dead due to a several months post-surgery aneurysm, and my grandmother lost her mom at 11 due to an aneurysm after gallbladder surgery in 1916, and as soon as they started making noise about #Covid being a vascular disease and causing strokes I made the decision to mask in public for the rest of my life.
So there you have it.
I will always #mask. Forever.
I have chronic migraines.
Often they make me think - Is this one the stroke?
Nah. I'll keep masking.
My 16yo started with abdominal migraines at 11 before the first noggin migraine a year ago.
A couple of years ago my younger son was sitting in a chair and said, "EYE GHOSTS!!!" and started swatting at the air in front of his face. So far no pain for him. Only ocular with aura.
Why would I ever want to tempt fate?
@Shelter I love your son!! I will now being telling people that the eye ghosts are haunting me!! The first time I had an ocular migraine was about 19 years ago and I thought that either my brain tumor was back or that I was having an acid flashback! It was pretty scary until I got the CT back and saw an eyeball Dr!
@Tattoomonkey29
I get visual aura before most of my migraines and now I always call them Eye Ghosts.
@Shelter ❤️ I like that, mine seem to go through phases where they are more frequent like over the last 2 years after being maybe every 6 months or so.
@Tattoomonkey29
I don't intend to be rude, but are you going through menopause?
@Shelter Nope ,chemotherapy at 29 totally obliterated that !
@Shelter @Tattoomonkey29 I get ‘em too. Now I know what to call them, thanks!
