trailer Chocolate Vicodin Headache Wouldnt ebook
I loved this book. Fulda tells her story with humor and honesty, painstakingly narrating the sequence of events that followed upon the arrival of her headache. For those of us with chronic pain, those events are familiar: the arrival of the pain; the visits to the doctor; the gradual recognition that the pain is here to stay; the many visits to specialists; the difficulty in getting doctors to take you seriously; the emergence of a transformed self who can manage the pain and negotiate the medical system. These kinds of narratives are inestimably beneficial to people who have just begun to experience chronic pain, because they serve as a map that can help lead a sufferer out of the thicket of conflicting medical advice, disbelieving doctors, friends and family members, and remedies that don't work. I liked that the book ends before the pain does. The ending is happy, but not because the pain goes away. It is happy because Fulda learns how to manage her pain, which is the best that we can hope for--and that lesson about pain management is going to help many people. Great read!

BalasHapusHaving read and loved Jennette's first book, as well as her blog (Pastaqueen.com), I couldn't wait to receive her second book. And, she didn't disappoint me. The book is great. I ordered it in paperback, but also purchased it for my Kindle after reading the hard copy. That's how much I loved it. Jennette has a fabulous writing style and she could basically write about anything and it would keep my interest and entertain me. I feel so guilty that I enjoyed this book, because the subject matter obviously caused the author much pain and anguish. That came thru so heartbreakingly clear in her writing style. I am looking forward to her next book, whatever that may be.
BalasHapusThis book helped me understand chronic pain. It was especially enlightening to learn about managing pain vs. suffering with pain.
BalasHapusI enjoyed this book. It was completely honest about living with chronic pain. Also, it was surprisingly funny. I really identified with the author's frustration in her search for the cause.
