-: When I was younger, my neck was always tight.
In fact, I took dance class when I was little
and my teacher, she actually called me "El Stiffo".
(soft music)
Come on, Katie.
-: After 10 years, XEOMIN is still giving me
long-lasting relief.
My name is Michelle Davis
and I live in Ponca City, Oklahoma.
My husband's name is Chad.
Then I have three kids.
Years ago I had two grandbabies and now I have six.
Grandbabies are the best in the world.
(upbeat music)
I started working when I was 19 in a factory.
I was doing spot welding at the time.
Every time I would go to weld,
there's a muscle right back here
that it tightens up and it causes my neck to turn.
I would leave crying
because I couldn't see what I was doing.
It was so hard to work sometimes.
Then when I actually went
in to see a neurologist, he told me
that I had cervical dystonia, a movement disorder.
Eventually, I told him that I wanted to try XEOMIN
and it made a world of difference.
I grew up camping.
My grandma and grandpa loved to camp.
Dystonia, it affected my camping.
It would wear me out.
A few years ago, with XEOMIN I started camping again.
My husband and I love road trips.
We love to travel.
I always say I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
Well, we've been talking about taking a trip
out to the northwest, maybe up into, even up into Canada.
Before I got treatment, I would have a hard time driving.
I usually would always have to hold my neck.
That's all different now.
(truck engine roaring)
In the past few years, the condition,
it has moved down into my shoulders.
My neurologist, he comes in and injects the medicine.
I use 400 units
and I go back and see him every three months.
With my XEOMIN shots, there's not a lot I can't do anymore.
I like all kinds of crafts
and I actually got my Cricut about a year ago.
It's a vinyl cutting machine.
With taking my XEOMIN shots, I'm able to focus
and actually do what I need to do.
I'm making a stuffed animal right now for Elijah.
He's three weeks old.
Family, to me, is the most important thing in life.
My grandkids just mean the world to me.
They come over and they'll hang out with us and
sometimes we'll take them on trips.
They love to go camping too.
Life's too short not to enjoy it.
