Unsure of what treatment options there are

So about a year ago my boyfriend started suffering from complex migraines. They mimic strokes. To give you a full break down he starts with a mild headache where he’s light sensitive, then he loses vision in one eye and shortly after he loses his speech for anywhere up to an hour and can have drooping and weakness on his right side. He is aware and understands what people are saying he just can’t vocalize it. Following all of that he then has the severe headache. We of course had multiple stroke work ups at first with mris and CT’s and they all came back clear and he’s now been diagnosed with the complex migraines. We are seeing a neuro and currently trialing different medications, nothing has worked yet. Has anyone else experienced this and what treatments worked for you? It would also be nice to just let him know he’s not alone. Thanks!
