not impressed. might be good for people who are at the beginning of a chronic pain Journey but for someone who's been dealing with chronic and acute pain at very high levels for many decades it didn't teach me anything new and I didn't particularly care for the tone of the book, definitely not empathetic or sympathetic to people who really do suffer on a daily basis because they biologically, physiologically have legitimate reasons for the pain that they bear.

A Day Without Pain is a book that has a great deal of information, and is written so anyone can understand. It is an eye opener to ways to deal with pain, and new ideas to help lessen the chronic pain that many people suffer from. This is well worth reading.

As a pharmacist and sufferer of chronic pain, this book had my personal and professional interests. I now want to recommend this book to any person suffering from chronic pain, even if you aren't addicted to pain medication. There are some hard truths you'll have to face in this book but it well worth it!

Good overview about dealing with chronic pain, but it's written by researchers and practitioners, not someone with chronic pain. Mostly it warms against opioids and overviews treatments from exercise to physical therapy and reiki. My mother's had chronic pain for decades and these treatments didn't work for her. No new ideas, just basically no opioids and keep a positive attitude.

Excellent for anyone suffering with an auto-immune disease such as fibromyalgia. Includes workbook type questions. Highly recommended.
