description: "Vertigo Explained" was written by a vertigo sufferer of more than 20 years and was designed to be understood by average readers. The author, also a technical writer for over 40 years, combined these experiences to produce a book that clearly explains the dizzy-like symptoms brought on by inner ear balance problems and the associated disorder of vertigo. These explanations help sufferers understand what is happening to them during miserable dizziness episodes so they may better cope with them. To ensure a high accuracy standard, the book was technically reviewed by Dennis C. Fitzgerald, M.D., Otology and Neurotology, who is renown in the field of vestibular and other dizziness disorders. Following, is an synoptic list of the book's contents: 1. Provides an introduction which lays helpful groundwork in understanding elementary basics about vertigo problems. 2. Defines "True Vertigo" and "False Vertigo" in simple laymen's terms. 3.
