I went back and forth on this one - 3 stars or 4 stars? I wish I could give it 3 1/2. Anyone who has ever suffered from chronic pain of any kind can relate to what Fulda goes through (and -SPOILER ALERT- is still going through). I'm a migraine sufferer myself, but a few years back I got a "tension" headache that wouldn't go away for months and went through many of the different tests and treatments Fulda did- MRI's, CT's, different drugs, etc. I described my pain to people as the feeling you get when accidently banging the top of your head on an open cabinet door, except the pain doesn't go away. And I recieved the same annoying advice from people: take some asprin, go lay down, etc. I guess my (slight) annoyance comes from the fact that I was a wife and mother and couldn't devote my entire life to my headache like it seems Fulda did. Thankfully, I finally found a mix of treatments that stopped that particular headache, and, of course, I have no way of knowing if my pain was as severe as Fulda's. I enjoyed Fulda's writing style and plan on also reading her weight-loss memoir.
