At the end of my 3rd month on Aimovig….
Hi everybody it’s tracy i hope you’re doing well it’s been a little bit since i’ve actually updated everybody on my brain pain migraine journey so i’d like to do that today it’s actually been uh august 22nd was when i took my third dose of amovig and i’ve actually been doing very very well on this medication and it’s just been amazing i actually had was very

Sorry if you’re suffering from migraines right now and i hope you’ll all take care thank you all
