Infos

No, It is NOT in My Head: The Journey of a Chronic Pain Survivor tackles the themes of despair and shame while highlighting the underlining message of hope and perseverance. In 2002, mainstream medicine wrote me off as being untreatable and incurable. No, It is NOT in My Head: The Journey of a Chronic Pain Survivor outlines my nine-year journey through the medical system and stresses the importance of a positive attitude. Dreams do come true.

“A story of triumph and courage . . . Nicole Hemmenway demonstrates hope, guts and faith for any chronic pain sufferer or caregiver” (Betsy Turner Nunley, author of Preemie to Woman in Sixty Short Years).   At seventeen, Nicole Hemmenway believed her life was just beginning. She was a senior in high school looking forward to college and living on her own. However, all her dreams vanished the moment she became injured. Diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), she soon learned that mainstream medicine viewed her pain and symptoms as being untreatable and incurable. She was living a nightmare. With no use of her right hand and minimal use of her arm, she depended on massive amounts of narcotics to survive each day. Yet even that could not control her agony. The crippling pain was so paralyzing that she faced periods where she was bedridden or wheelchair bound. All she had to hold on to was hope. Hope that her miracle would someday arrive . . .  No, It Is Not in My Head is a courageous memoir that presents answers and allows others to believe in the unimaginable.   “A must-read for anyone suffering from chronic pain or anyone who knows someone battling it . . . No, It Is Not in My Head is not a cure for pain, but more a cure for hopelessness. . . . Beautifully written, incredibly inspirational and highly recommended!” —Robin Cain, author of The Secret Miss Rabbit Kept   “A riveting and uplifting tale, not to be missed.” —Midwest Book Review
