This is the route we eventually decided on. My oma passed away, my opa was there in the room, saw the body, grieved, etc. We left the home for a few hours to arrange for things to be taken care of, by the time we'd returned he had completely forgotten and was wondering where she was. We just told him that she's gone to the casino (because she loved to go to the casino).

I haven't been able to pinpoint any one specific trigger but something anecdotally I've noticed is that the migraine seems to be relative to the amount of sensation you've got going on around you at the time. If I'm trying to work through it or whatever it'll be pretty bad and last a long time, but if I take some Advil and remove myself to a dark, quiet room and wait it out it'll usually pass without much pain/trouble.

You kinda just have to endure. My oma was put in for dementia, my opa for Alzheimer's. My oma adjusted to life there pretty quickly and she actually seemed really happy, my opa just kinda forgot he used to live elsewhere within a month or so.

Another visual migraine sufferer here! Also want to hear about this. I'm particularly worried because some of the symptoms sound similar to retinal detachment, and I've been told I'm at risk for that. :/
