This is the greatest book from one of the greatest people ever!! As a caregiver of a teenage daughter with CRPS, this is the best book on the market. Nicole's journey is so informative and so inspirational. Thank you so very much for sharing your journey.. Abby McCarty said Amazing.. This book made me cry and have hope. Living with Chronic Pain myself I understood some of the things she went through. I thpught it was weird when I found out that her right hand had locked shut and was very swollen. My hand was just like that too. Nicole did a wonderful job of writing this book and putting in amazing details about how she felt. If you aren't sure abput buying this book, I highly reccomend that you do. I couldn't put my kindle down from the moment I bought it. A MUST read!!!!. "A Tribute to Pain Warriors" according to OsakaBound. I received a copy of this book from Nicole herself several months ago. As a physical therapist working with people who deal with persistent disabling pain, I was anxious to read her story. It is an honest and compelling chronicle of her journey through the dark hell of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. This book is not a how-to manual for curing a disease; rather, it is a personal journal of Nicole's triumph over this dreadful central nervous system disorder. I found her story one of courage and honesty
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. All she had to hold on to was hope. However, all her dreams vanished the moment she became injured.Diagnosed with the neurological and chronic pain disorder, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), mainstream medicine viewed her pain and symptoms as being untreatable and incurable. It is not one young woman’s story back to health, but a culmination of our stories back to health. . The crippling pain was so paralyzing that she faced periods where she was bed-ridden or wheelchair bound. Hope that her miracle would someday arrive… No, It is Not in My Head: The Journey of a Chronic Pain Survivor, will spread hope, present answers and allow others to believe in the unimaginable. She was a senior in high school looking forward to college and living on her own. Yet even that could not control her agony. At seventeen, Nicole believed her life was just beginning
