"Confused. I found this article on Aimovig at the hormonesmatter.com website:https://www.hormonesmatter.com/aimovig-miracle-migraine-treatment-unnecessary-risk/ Parts of it startled me. I thought if I took the risk of the side effects I’ve read about here, I’d have about a 50-50 chance of being one of the lucky ones who had at least some reduction. But the excerpt below seems to say that the published reduction stats IGNORED anyone who took Aimovig and had no reduction -- that their existence simply wasn’t acknowledged in the study. So, those people took the risk I’m scared of (especially because I’m 83) weren’t helped, and were disappeared from the stats? Is that right? Here’s a quote.. (underlining mine). “The label, which lists all clinical trial details, chooses to ignore a few important factors. For example, they report reduction in migraine days for only those subjects for whom Aimovig™ provided reduction, yet in the three studies, not one exceeded 50%–meaning it did nothing for at least 50% of the participants….” I hope someone with a younger brain will ‘explain’ it to me. The URL is above. E.R."
