I'd always hoped that at least some people were doing better than that on the meds.

Anyone want to comment or clarify? With the same percentages for all the meds, it always seems to me that the CRABs work (modestly) on the same subset of patients and the rest of us maybe have a different form of the disease. I'd rather they'd spend more time on figuring out what we've got.
Yep! SSDD!! Nothing new or promising in this study.
