   <p><inline-mention username="mikeratcliffe" user-id="3830722"/> - you&#39;ve had quite a journey with migraine- a lifelong one, it sounds. It sounds like the condition has evolved along with you. It&#39;s great that you were able to identify such a strong trigger in ginger ale (that fascinates me as ginger ale is so often something migraineurs turn to in order to calm our nausea). I&#39;m also glad you mentioned crying as a trigger- that is the case for so many of us- and it&#39;s interesting to consider how that challenge might alter us developmentally when we feel we must hold back from crying when young: https://migraine.com/blog/crying-as-a-migraine-trigger<br/><br/>As to your search for an effective treatment, are you working with a migraine specialist to assist you?
