<v Narrator>This video discusses</v>

2
00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:05.340
a patient's personal treatment of adult cervical dystonia

3
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:08.310
with XEOMIN, incobotulinumtoxinA.

4
00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:10.590
Individual results may vary.

5
00:00:10.590 --> 00:00:12.960
Talk with your doctor about treatment options,

6
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.460
including XEOMIN.

7
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:16.830
Please see important safety information,

8
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:19.803
including BOXED WARNING at the end of this video.

9
00:00:32.065 --> 00:00:33.702
(soft music)

10
00:00:33.702 --> 00:00:36.240
<v ->When I was younger, my neck was always tight.</v>

11
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.600
In fact, I took dance class when I was little

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.837
and my teacher, she actually called me "El Stiffo".

13
00:00:45.036 --> 00:00:47.080
(soft music)

14
00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:47.913
Come on, Katie.

15
00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:53.970
<v ->After 10 years, XEOMIN is still giving me</v>

16
00:00:53.970 --> 00:00:55.113
long-lasting relief.

17
00:00:58.380 --> 00:00:59.820
My name is Michelle Davis

18
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:02.670
and I live in Ponca City, Oklahoma.

19
00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:04.680
My husband's name is Chad.

20
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.510
Then I have three kids.

21
00:01:06.510 --> 00:01:11.430
Years ago I had two grandbabies and now I have six.

22
00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.383
Grandbabies are the best in the world.

23
00:01:14.350 --> 00:01:15.660
(upbeat music)

24
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:18.453
I started working when I was 19 in a factory.

25
00:01:20.130 --> 00:01:23.640
I was doing spot welding at the time.

26
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.260
Every time I would go to weld,

27
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:27.510
there's a muscle right back here

28
00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:31.530
that it tightens up and it causes my neck to turn.

29
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:32.790
I would leave crying

30
00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:35.880
because I couldn't see what I was doing.

31
00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:38.223
It was so hard to work sometimes.

32
00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:42.630
Then when I actually went

33
00:01:42.630 --> 00:01:44.340
in to see a neurologist, he told me

34
00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:47.790
that I had cervical dystonia, a movement disorder.

35
00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:51.480
Eventually, I told him that I wanted to try XEOMIN

36
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.313
and it made a world of difference.

37
00:01:54.210 --> 00:01:56.010
I grew up camping.

38
00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:58.830
My grandma and grandpa loved to camp.

39
00:01:58.830 --> 00:02:01.950
Dystonia, it affected my camping.

40
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:03.153
It would wear me out.

41
00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:12.637
A few years ago, with XEOMIN I started camping again.

42
00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:15.903
My husband and I love road trips.

43
00:02:17.070 --> 00:02:18.273
We love to travel.

44
00:02:19.350 --> 00:02:22.350
I always say I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.

45
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:25.620
Well, we've been talking about taking a trip

46
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:30.620
out to the northwest, maybe up into, even up into Canada.

47
00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.900
Before I got treatment, I would have a hard time driving.

48
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:36.100
I usually would always have to hold my neck.

49
00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:38.270
That's all different now.

50
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.770
(truck engine roaring)

51
00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:48.840
In the past few years, the condition,

52
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.673
it has moved down into my shoulders.

53
00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:54.990
My neurologist, he comes in and injects the medicine.

54
00:02:54.990 --> 00:02:56.520
I use 400 units

55
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.253
and I go back and see him every three months.

56
00:03:01.530 --> 00:03:05.823
With my XEOMIN shots, there's not a lot I can't do anymore.

57
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:08.970
I like all kinds of crafts

58
00:03:08.970 --> 00:03:11.613
and I actually got my Cricut about a year ago.

59
00:03:13.290 --> 00:03:15.123
It's a vinyl cutting machine.

60
00:03:17.880 --> 00:03:21.156
With taking my XEOMIN shots, I'm able to focus

61
00:03:21.156 --> 00:03:24.390
and actually do what I need to do.

62
00:03:24.390 --> 00:03:28.560
I'm making a stuffed animal right now for Elijah.

63
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.273
He's three weeks old.

64
00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:36.060
Family, to me, is the most important thing in life.

65
00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:39.243
My grandkids just mean the world to me.

66
00:03:40.230 --> 00:03:42.580
They come over and they'll hang out with us and

67
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.530
sometimes we'll take them on trips.

68
00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:48.153
They love to go camping too.

69
00:03:51.450 --> 00:03:55.109
Life's too short not to enjoy it.

70
00:03:55.109 --> 00:03:57.776
