But while she was achieving all that success, Chenoweth was also struggling with Chronic Migraine.
BOTOXfor Chronic Migraine is a treatment that Chenoweth and many others have found helpful.
Recently, Chenoweth partnered with AbbVie on theCenter Stage with Chronic Migraineprogram.
Through her partnership, Chenoweth is telling her story to empower others with Chronic Migraine and promote awareness.
“This is not a headache this is a horrible, painful thing.”
Chenoweth added, “It’s not [understood] until you experience it.”
The first time she experienced migraine symptoms, Chenoweth was performing with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
She kept singing until intermission.
“By intermission, I literally sat down.
The curtain went down.
I sat down and crawled off the stage,” she said.
The pain was so bad that Chenoweth couldn’t see, but she still went on to perform.
As a singer and Broadway actress, Chenoweth often had to perform while sick.
“I know a lot of people who do that in their jobs.
Sometimes you cannot push through it,” she said.
She’d been looking for treatment since she was 25, and nothing had helped.
“I tried everything.
I did shots in my legs.
I did everything,” Chenoweth said.
I said, ‘Do it.
Just do it.'"
Although she still suffers from Chronic Migraine, Chenoweth has been amazed by the difference Botox made for her.
“Is it a cure?
Has it kept me from retirement and allowed me to do the thing I love to do the most?
Yes,” she said.
