   <p><inline-mention username="mikeratcliffe" user-id="3830722"/> - you've had quite a journey with migraine- a lifelong one, it sounds. It sounds like the condition has evolved along with you. It'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'm also glad you mentioned crying as a trigger- that is the case for so many of us- and it'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?
