Product Description
Can you imagine having constant head and facial pains for sixteen years that are never ending? In her book, Vivienne tells of her journey as she seeks to find a cure for her “atypical facial pain”. She explores Western, Eastern and holistic medicines, all to no avail. Vivienne describes her torment and deep depression, which led her to two suicide attempts, one being in front of a top neurologist when he told her there was no more treatment to help her. She went to America to a “Head and Facial Pain Specialist”. She describes her exhilarating visits to New York while waiting to undergo surgery that sadly fails to relieve the pain. Dipping into other areas of her life, Vivienne writes about her abused childhood and later the trauma of the premature deaths of two husbands. Vivienne’s book is not all doom and gloom; there are several amusing anecdotes.
