The humorous and touching memoir of a woman who’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 headache—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 “the girl who lost hundreds of pounds” to “the girl who lives with constant pain,” and all she’s had to endure to try and make the pain stop—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 vacation—and doesn’t last nearly as long), to tons of medications prescribed by her doctors to hilarious, sometimes insane advice she’s received from her blog readers. While nothing’s been able to grant her relief, she has gained a new perspective. Instead of dwelling on the “invisible tiara of nails” she may very well wear for the rest of her life, she’s instead learned how to live with the pain, sharing with readers not only how she’s managed to get by, but to laugh—and thrive—in spite of it.

Reads like a YA book

I was relieved when this book was over. She is constantly trying to be funny (just her personality) and occasionally hits the mark but the ongoing unsuccessful witticisms are grating on the nerves. Like other reviews have mentioned, the title and the cover are just so perfect- if only they matched the quality of the book. The author is missing some emotional component, and that makes her hard to be around, even in sticking with her throughout the book. I hate to say it but the writing was pretty low quality.

The tale of the headache which won't go away

Jennette Fulda has already changed her life - from being extremely obese, she went to be more or less normal sized after losing about 200 lbs., mostly for its health benefits.

Until one day, while maintaining her weight for quite a while, preparing to run a half marathon, and completing her book about her weight loss - Jennette gets a headache that won't go away. And no Doctor can seem to find the cause of this headache still persists, even though in each initial visit, the practitioner is sure he's the one which can assist Jennette feel better.

We all get headaches once in a while, and in most cases when we take some Tylenol or Advil it goes away. In some cases we manage to work through the pain, assuming it would be short, which is the case in most cases. But Jennette's headache persisted for over 18 months until she found partial relief, and even that was unexplained and inconsistent.

Therefore, it is hard for us "not suffering from a headache" people to understand the impact of such a headache n the daily life of someone who has to continue functioning when the Advils don't work - and Jennette tells us about her life with her quirky sense of humor about her everyday life, and her various doctors' visits and treatments (and frustrations).

Great for those with chronic pain

As someone diagnosed with new daily persistent headache, these words feel like they were pulled from my diary. It is nice to see someone else so elegantly describe the roller coaster that is chronic pain. This book was recommended by my neurologist. So glad I read it because it is rare that anyone understands NDPH. It was nice to not feel alone in this battle.

It was an okay read

I picked this book up because of the cover and the awesome, awesome title! I really have to stop picking books bases on covers. I doubt I will but I should.
This book is about the authors struggle with a headache that is there 24/7. I do have to admit I did not even know this could happen and I am so sorry for what Jennette is going through. I learned a bit about headaches from this book and do agree there really should be more funding and research for this problem because I am sure most people don't even know this really is such a huge issues.
The overall book for me was just ok tho. It got a bit tedious and irritating in parts. I understand the sympathy thing and I understand why at times Jennette did not want to post on her blog about her headache anymore because no one could truly help but they cared enough to email her which made her mad at them yet she writes a book about it. A lot of things were also repeated over and over in the book which at times made it boring.
The writing style was not bad and if you are interested at all in chronic headaches or are just a memoir fan this isn't a bad read.
