No, It Is Not In My Head: The Journey of a Chronic Pain Survivor from Wheelchair to Marathon

"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
