I am reading Dr Byron Hyde's book

[MEahahaha]

Hi

I have just bought Dr Byron Hyde;s book Understanding ME but I am not buying it. My head has cleared up over the years and if it were a permanent injury it wouldn't have. That's just to start with. Next how does he know these pictures of scans represent brain injury since the health board of Ontario did not think so. He has stepped down from medicine now. Has anyone actually had a brain scan? I highly doubt it myself but maybe I am wrong. I had PVFS in 1992 btw. Thanks

Hello and Welcome,

You'll find that this page is pretty quiet, due to the nature and impact of M.E/CFS.

Also, it's worth noting that nobody here is medically qualified and we can only speak from our own experiences.

Having said that, I would personally urge anyone with symptoms like those caused by M.E/CFS to make sure they have a brain scan carried out before they're given the diagnosis, in the first place.

You'll find that some of the members here prefer to respond to locked posts because these can't be shared on other Social Media platforms.

I found the book by Dr Hyde, The Canadian Guidelines, extermely helpful. You can get a copy from the Nightingale website. The information in it was based on clinical research done by hundreds of doctors in Canada. Whether you have ME or Post Viral Fatigue syndrome is something only a suitably experienced doctor could help you with. Brain scans are not usually done in the UK, but there is mounting evidence fom research about the phsyiological basis of ME.
