Books that may be of use...

​

• "Feeling Dizzy" by Brian W Blakeley and Mary-Ellen Siegel (1997) - very cheap and a good read if you are new to the world of dizziness.

​

• "Why me, why this, why now?" by Robin Norwood (1995) - not related to dizziness and not for people who don't like "deep" books!! Emma read it and it helped her - it deals with why we experience adversity and bad patches in life.

​

• "Dizzy Spell" by Gillian Gabrielle Barnett. Gillian is an online "dizzy" friend of ours and this book sounds like an excellent 'patient's perspective' when it comes to living with a vestibular disorder. Who better to write a book about this than someone who suffered Labyrinthitis for over 2 years, as Gillian did.
