A great self-help book for Meniere's Disease. No magic cures but some good advice never the less.

I have been diagnosed with Menieres for some years and after a recent episode of attacks I decided to try self help and purchased this book, found it very insightful in relation to vitamins. Thought the price was a bit on the high side but never the less it's a book to keep and refer back too. Would recommend.

A good book for those who have recently been diagnosed with Meniere's disease. My boyfriend is struggling to come to terms with his recent diagnosis and this book is good to show him that he is not alone and has some good tips for dealing with your emotions and the affects of the disease.

Purchased for my mother who suffers from menieres,to get an insight of this awful disease with useful tips and information

the book meniere man lets get better was very helpful

This is a fantastic book. I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease several years ago and thought there was no hope and there was nothing I could do. After reading this book, I feel so much more positive about the future, he's given so many tips and lots of advice on how to not only 'survive' the illness but ways in which to be pro-active and reduce the intensity and frequency of the attacks. He shows you how you can actually have a 'normal' life and that you don't have to be a prisoner to this awful disease. Whether you've just been diagnosed or were diagnosed a long time ago, you HAVE to read this book. I guarantee it will change the way you feel about and react to this disease.

While this book is a memoir of coping with Meniere's disease, I found that the information was relevantto anyone dealing with a chronic illness. I have several family members struggling with heart disease,chronic pain and diabetes that would find this book helpful. More than an overcoming adversity tips book,it's also a wonderfully written narrative that keeps the reader engaged to the end. The spirit of Meniere manto constantly tackle his medical issues without giving up is inspiring. I would recommend this book as an upliftingresource for anyone with Meniere's disease but also for anyone suffering a difficult illness.
