About the Author

At the height of his business career and aged just forty-six, the author suddenly became acutely ill. He was diagnosed with Menieres disease. But the full impact of having Menieres disease was to come later. He was to lose not only his health, but his career and financial status as well. He also began to lose all hope that he would fully recover a sense of well-being. It was his personal spirit and desire to get "back to normal" that changed his life for the better. He decided that you can't put a limit on anything in life. Rather than letting Meniere disease get in the way of recovery, he started to focus on what to do about getting over Menieres disease. And that's just what he went on to do. The author wrote the first personal account of Meniere's when only medical texts were available. His experiences and findings proved to be a valuable resource by providing useful firsthand information for meniere societies today. These days life is different for the Author. He is a fit active man who has no symptoms of Meniere disease except for 90% hearing loss and tinnitus in one ear. He is unfortunately left with some permanent legacy of having had Menieres disease. Following his own advice he continues to avoid salt, stress, takes vitamins, exercises regularly and maintains a positive, mindful attitude. He does not take any medication. The Author is married with two adult children. He is a painter and designer. He enjoys cooking, travel and the company of family, friends and his beloved dog.
