I know this had to have been a topic before, but what the hay.
What are your triggers?
I have several. Peanut butter, almond flour, walnut flour, mold spores, reading while in a moving vehicle, fast spinning (like on carnival rides). Watching the spinning on TV where the camera seems to be moving, bouncing ect. 
I know I am forgetting some others, but that is what comes to mind at the moment.

when D is in cycle his triggers include: stress, nuts, shellfish, alcohol, sleep . . . ummmm maybe cheap candles, stuffy air, otc medications, some perscriptions, and uhhhhhhh probably tons more . . but those are the big ones . . .
if he's not in cycle, he can do pretty much whatever . . .
even if he's not having h/as, i hate to see him order shrimp! and as much as we all love shellfish, i NEVER cook it anymore.

Maybe they're optical disturbances? I think that's fairly common among us.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Alcohol & Life - Due to its instantaneous triggering of attacks I had no trouble giving up alcohol (although I miss having a beer every now and then).
I have no plans to stop living so I guess I'm committed to living with this nightmare.

For me:
1 - Alcohol, even a half glass of beer will do it.
2 - Perfume that contains Orris root. I was allergy tested and had a major reaction to Orris root, the number 1 ingrediant in perfume that makes the scent last.
3 - Oxygen deprivation
Funny (or not so funny) story -
I just ended my 6 week cycle this past Tuesday night. That same night I get a call to take my mother to the E.R. the next morning to check out what might be a broken foot. So, I pick her up at 7am and she gets in my car LOADED with perfume! I was pissed (cussing to myself), but not going to take it out on my 86 year old mother. I drove all the way to the hospital with my head out the window, with other drivers wondering what the heck was wrong with me - it was only around 20f outside. I sat on the opposite side of the waiting room from her until she got checked in. By this time the CH was kicking in pretty good. As soon as she was taken back to be seen I bolted outside and walked around the hospital for a while and aborted it. Parents - God love em.

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps

I did forget to mention the alcohol, but I have noticed something there. I found with home-brews, if they have not aged long enough, and the yeast is still active, WOW, what a way to PISS OFF the monster!! 2 sips and the monster is turning my skull to mush!!!
On a good day, I can nurse a single beer for an hour or two, without repercussions.
As for the motion, Nani described it much better than I.
I sit close to where the smokers go for their hit, and I find the smell also triggers me. I was unaware of that until I was moved to this spot 2 weeks ago.
