I used to have very many (multiple a week) and was under specialist care for it in my 20s. Turned out to be stress though (doctors didn't buy this but couldn't find any other reason either, but once I stopped going to the office, I have had 0; I stopped going 25 years ago and had 0 for 25 years). I found what killed them almost immediately; 1 shot of vodka. When I saw the lines and the auras starting to come (usually tunnelvision and some vague jagged lines would announce an oncoming attack), I would immediately knock down 1 shot of vodka and it would go away while just causing a slight headache, but none of the rest of the very bad things I would otherwise have like double vision, splitting cluster headaches, auditory features, dizziness and tingling in my face, some of that lasting for days. I would all skip that with 1 shot. Just not having them is nicer though; whatever helped, I am very happy I discovered it relatively early on.
