ABOUT THE MENIERE MAN SERIES: When the Author was diagnosed with Meniere's, his ENT specialist handed him an A4 leaflet and told him to keep away from stress and to not eat salt. That was it! There were no books on the subject in bookstores or libraries. The internet was in its infancy - you couldn't even send an email. The Author was determined to avoid surgery and invasive medical options.Yet, with an information void, he had no clear directions. He had no choice, but to take recovery into his own hands. Armed with hope, determination and a positive attitude, he recorded daily accounts of what worked and didn't work, until he amassed five years of handwritten diaries, daily journals and notebooks. Once he recovered health, he was determined to ensure no one else should find themselves diagnosed with an "incurable illness" and with no consistent, insightful information. He thought deeply about the far-reaching effects of what he and his family had just been through. He believed that life-changing events happen for good reason. Using his personal experience of battling Meniere symptoms and making a recovery, he decided to write a series of coherent books to cover every aspect of this multifaceted condition from his point of view. On completion of his first manuscript 'A Memoir Of Meniere's Disease', three years later, he presented it to his two ENT specialists to review. Both professionals said, the insights gained on how to manage Meniere's, that this book was invaluable from a patients' perspective. Even medical people would benefit from his experience, they believed. Since publishing the first self-help memoir and a complete series of self-help books, during the past seven years, the Author's experiences and personal insights; his coherent and consistent information, helps make the world for Meniere's sufferers, a less frightening place than it once was.

Overcoming Meniere's


Book Description

Researchers Anderson and Harris once described Ménière¿s disease as one of the most debilitating diseases experienced by people who survive any illness. As a former Ménière¿s sufferer, Mark Knoblauch fully endorses that statement. For three years he was subjected to constant unsteadiness and dizziness along with unpredictable, violent attacks of vertigo. It took several visits to multiple physicians before he was finally diagnosed with Ménière¿s disease, a relatively obscure condition of the inner ear known to wreak havoc on an individual¿s balance and equilibrium. Once diagnosed, Mark was able to adopt a relatively simple lifestyle change that effectively eliminated his symptoms. In the years since adopting this lifestyle change he has not only remained almost symptom-free but has used his newfound health to successfully complete multiple marathons and even become an Ironman. Due in large part to the success of his lifestyle change, he wrote this book to not only provide an overview of just what Ménière¿s disease is but also outline for other sufferers how he has gone from at times struggling to walk to now living relatively Ménière¿s-free. Drawing from his background as a scientist, Mark provides the reader a detailed overview of Ménière¿s including the involved anatomy as well as the most recent research, along with a comprehensive look into how his adopted lifestyle change is thought to improve the symptoms of Ménière¿s disease. By detailing his own Ménière¿s journey as well as what has worked for him, Mark intends to provide other Ménière¿s sufferers a pathway which they themselves can follow in order to find similar relief from the devastating effects of Ménière¿s disease.

Meniere's Disease 1999 - Update


Book Description

The Fourth International Symposium on Menière’s Disease was held in Paris in April 1999, in the Montparnasse area close to Prosper Menière’s tomb. This meeting followed the three earlier symposia on Menière’s disease, which have been organized every six years since 1981 in Düsseldorf, Boston and, most recently, in Rome. 1999 saw the bicentenary of Menière’s birth, and to commemorate this, François Legent organized a historical symposium on the different aspects of Prosper Menière’s life. Together with Michel Portmann, the two honorary presidents, Robert Kimura and Jean-Marc Sterkers, gave excellent lectures on the two main topics of Menière’s disease: on experimental endolymphatic hydrops, and the role of both vestibular neurectomy and sac surgery. Numerous papers were presented on research and clinical experiences, and were particularly devoted to the better understanding of both the development of experimental endolymphatic hydrops and the evolution of Menière’s disease. Attention was also drawn to the local treatment of Menière’s disease by the application of drugs to the round window, and furthermore, the indications for and results of surgery for incapacitating vertigo were well defined. Finally, we are pleased to say that this was a very successful meeting and we would like to express our thanks to all the companies, and in particular Solvay Pharmaceuticals, that supported this event. We are certain that the first international symposium of the new millennium on Menière’s disease, which is to be organized by David Lim in the USA, will be even more successful and fruitful than this one.
