Today we will talk about a questions regarding the pharmaceutical Aimovig and side effect profile. 

Question: "Taking Aimovig helps my migraines, but I have noticed my joints are sore and ache all over. Could you comment on this?" 

Aimovig (erenumab) is a pharmaceutical drug used for the prevention of migraines headaches. It is a monoclonal antibody that targets CGRP receptors in the blood vessels. This blocks the CGRP molecule, leading to a decrease in migraine episodes. 

Nonetheless, no drug is free of its side effects. Aimovig includes three major ones: 
1. Inflammation at the injection site. 
2. Constipation (could be severe) 
3. High blood pressure (numbers could increase more--must watch out!)

Naturopathic tenant of "The Healing Power of Nature" reminds us that the body needs its nutrients to stay healthy, but pharmaceutical drugs and other toxins around us can exhaust our organs and instead accumulate toxins inside of us. The joint aching could be either a reaction from the monoclonal immune reaction or a hidden symptom of toxin accumulation.

Keeping your doctor updated on your side effects is essential to avoid any form of toxicity accumulation.
