Chocolate & Vicodin: My Quest for Relief from the Headache

Chocolate & Vicodin: My Quest for Relief from the Headache that Wouldn't Go Away

The humorous and touching memoir of a woman whoâ€™s been seeking relief from a headache for more than two years.

Jennette Fulda was riding high on the success of her first book, Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir, until one fateful day in February 2008, when she developed a headacheâ€”and it never went away. So she dealt with it the best way she knows how: by writing about it. And eating lots of chocolate.

In Chocolate and Vicodin, Jennette explores her change of identity from â€œthe girl who lost hundreds of poundsâ€ to â€œthe girl who lives with constant pain,â€ and all sheâ€™s had to endure to try and make the pain stopâ€”from a bevy of expensive, time-consuming tests, which have taught her interesting facts (for example, that an MRI does indeed cost more than a European vacationâ€”and doesnâ€™t last nearly as long), to tons of medications prescribed by her doctors to hilarious, sometimes insane advice sheâ€™s received from her blog readers. While nothingâ€™s been able to grant her relief, she has gained a new perspective. Instead of dwelling on the â€œinvisible tiara of nailsâ€ she may very well wear for the rest of her life, sheâ€™s instead learned how to live with the pain, sharing with readers not only how sheâ€™s managed to get by, but to laughâ€”and thriveâ€”in spite of it.
