Book Description

December 1, 1998
"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. Contains illustration-supported descriptions of the inner ear and other components of our balance system which are responsible for our sense of balance and perception of our position with relation to surrounding objects.

4. Describes various true vertigo symptoms experienced by both the author and others queried about their disorders.

5. Presents a list of possible common causes for the onset of vertigo symptoms.

6. Briefly examines disease inheritance and genetics issues.

7. Provides helpful details of one of the author's early-on episodes; and a list of modern test devices and diagnostic tests available today. Also, how to go about seeking help for such testing.

8. Recaps methods and lifestyle hints which have helped make the author's episodes with vertigo tolerable.

About the Author

The author, Robert E. Primavera began his writing career in the military in the 1950's. His career has been devoted to finding ways to convey needed information to those with varied educational levels. After leaving the military, he continued to write and teach in diverse fields ranging from simple topics to complex ones used in space programs. His focus, always, has been to provide accurate information in the best manner possible to those who needed it.

About 25 years ago, Mr. Primavera began having personal vertigo problems which then lasted over 20 years. Due to his background, he researched and documented the disorder which included inputs from other sufferers. In 1997, he contributed the first edition of his easy-to-understand book "Vertigo Explained" to help other sufferers bear with dizziness and vertigo problems. Many copies have been given away to profit free international organizations who deal in these disorders. Also, copies have been given to various hospitals, physicians, veteran's clinics, etc.

In the entire world, there is not likely another writer who also suffered for so many years with vertigo problems which, thankfully, are no longer present. Mr. Primavera truly believes that his vertigo and writing experiences were destined to come together for the purpose of helping others who also suffer with such disorders. His work on vertigo has been purchased by sufferers in every state in our Nation and is now being offered abroad.
