A Pained Life

In the blink of an eye, the most agonizing pain imaginable. And the author's life as she knew it was gone. The diagnosis was Trigeminal Neuralgia. And then, after months of spontaneous and constant pain - Chronic Pain. Ms. Levy takes us with her on her journey from who she was to who she became. We experience the fight with herself, the pain, and often the medical system itself, as she reaches out for relief and acceptance. "A fascinating story, honestly told and courageously lived." Stephen S. Hall, science and medicine writer. Author, Invisible Frontiers: The Race To Synthesize A Human Gene.
