I’ve had them for years and sometimes go weeks without one but yesterday had 3, one in bed at night others in the house. Used to think it was the sun since I spend a lot of time outside but yesterday 2 were in the dark! Never had 3 in one day!

I've had them for over 35 years.
Low dose aspirin keeps them away. Through trial and error, I've determined that taking the low dose aspirin (81mg) 3 times per week is enough to prevent them from happening. Mine were usually associated with bright lights or intensely examining details in a bright lighting or sometimes computer use. A opthomologist recommended the aspirin but 5mg per day caused too much bruising as did the low dose, if I took it every day.
