Kristin Chenoweth was 25 when she had her first migraine. “I didn’t know what it was. I thought it was a tornado in my head,” recalls the Tony Award-winning actress. She dealt with debilitating pain for nearly 15 years before a doctor treated her with BOTOX, which can block the chemical neurotransmitters that signal pain. “I know I use BOTOX for other reasons that are apparent,” admits the wrinkle-free 54-year-old, “but it also really helped my migraines.” Here, Kristin, who partnered with AbbVie on Center Stage with Chronic Migraine, a program aimed to empower other people to talk to a doctor about how to manage their disease, talks to In Touch’s Fortune Benatar about planning her wedding to her musician fiancé Josh Bryant, the rumors she’ll make a cameo in the highly anticipated Wicked movie, and practicing mindfulness.
How bad did things get with your health?
KC: The migraines would last for days. I grew up with a dad who said, “Suck it up, you’ve got to go to work.” But sometimes I couldn’t. I was facing retirement from the pain. I was facing not being able to do what I love.
Was there any hesitation about turning to BOTOX?
