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 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 . 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 Also I have never had any pain, just some spectacular light shows and I am tired afterwards :) My daughter had migraines after meningitis at age 3 left scarring in her brain that even woke her from a sound sleep and were frequent but usually ended with her throwing up, I have only had one like that in my entire life and wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Oh my goodness.
That poor kid
Here's what I do during the light show.
Find a glass.
Play basketball by dipping yourself up and down and side to side by sinking the lights into the glass.

@Shelter Yeah ,she's 27 and it is rarer but still brutal. And 😆 😆 I will be doing that for sure, even better is that recent ones are less often a rainbow prism swirl and kind of like a circular waffle shape! this will be fun :)
