'Shingles. A virus. An unwelcome disturbance that would change my life forever.'
In this compelling memoir, Denise courageously takes us on an intimate journey through the aftermath of contracting shingles in her face - a virus that damaged multiple cranial nerves. The damage left her with the excruciating condition of post herpetic trigeminal neuralgia and subsequently Ramsay Hunt syndrome, forever altering her life. Amid unrelenting pain and profound loss, Denise candidly explores the challenges of living with an invisible condition and faces buried trauma that shaped her life. With raw honesty, she confronts her struggles with self-neglect and reveals the power of facing unresolved wounds.More than just a story of suffering, this memoir is a testament to resilience and hope, highlighting the importance of self-love and the courage it takes to heal from deep emotional scars. Denise's unwavering fight to endure, persist and seek even a semblance of relief against what many would deem insurmountable pain is nothing short of extraordinary. It is testament to a strength few could ever fathom. It delivers a powerful message: even in the face of unimaginable pain, it is possible to rediscover hope and embrace life again.
