Hi I just want to say, if anyone is put off the Aimovig injection because they're needle phoebic,as I am, then please don't worry. I had my first injection yesterday and it's not like a proper needle, it's more of a stamp on your skin and I found it virtually painless and had no reaction to it. Just hope it helps.

Horrible constipation, pain in all my joints. Took 4 months to get out of my system. Never again! Plus, it did not help with migraines.

I’ve been on Aijovy for over a year now with no side effects and have been migraine free. These new CGRP injections are life changing for so many and I am so grateful to have this prescription.
