one commonality is that any meds seem to work a lot better if you take them the first moment you think it's possible there will be a migraine versus waiting until it's actually happening. (even basic over the counter stuff sometimes helps if i take it before the actual migraine kicks off)

relatedly, keeping a log of possible triggers can help, especially if you can note it before the migraine starts (once i'm having a migraine lots of smells feel like they are causing it, but really it's just a symptom of the migraine i'm having)

for me stress has been the biggest migraine trigger, but drinking enough water and moderating certain foods has helped too.
