Migraine Sufferers Find toxin Good Not Just For Wrinkles

Christine Profita Orok has suffered from debilitating migraine headaches since she was a child. She tried everything from acupuncture to narcotic pain pills but nothing worked — until she started getting Anti wrinkle treatment and nerve block treatments.

“I was having attacks quite frequently, to the point where I was having five or six severe ones a month,” said the 46-year-old Framingham resident who works in marketing.

“The severe ones could last for days,” she said. “There was nausea and vomiting. I couldn’t go to work. I would have to stay in bed in the dark and take serious pain medications.”
