It would be nice if she said what experience of diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease Craig Robinson has, and why patients should be interested in something he helped to write.

I think Craig has co-authored several books with Dr Myhill. I remeber reading about him some while ago but have forgotten the details now :)

in reply to RedApple

Craig Robinson took a first in Mathematics at Oxford University in 1985. He then joined Price Waterhouse and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1988, after which he worked as a lecturer in the private sector, and also in the City of London, primarily in Financial Sector Regulation roles. Craig first met Sarah in 2001, as a patient for the treatment of his ME, and since then they have developed a professional working relationship, with Craig being co-author of Dr Myhill's many books and also with Craig being webmaster of drmyhill.co.uk, a site which has received well over 20 million individual hits, and also the Health Practitioner Portal naturalhealthworldwide.com. Craig also manages Dr Myhill social media platforms. Recently Craig has published a book on the motion of rockets, and there will be more Applied Mathematics books to follow.

Taken from the description on Amazon on the page where you can find that book

I don’t have a link as I found it in my Amazon app, but I can add a note saying I found that text on the amazon description of the book?

How lovely to see that she has made a dedication to Dr Gordon Skinner - still very much missed!

Oh her. She's a struck-off doctor I think. Or at least she doesn't practice mainstream medicine anymore.

" Oh her. She's a struck-off doctor I think. Or at least she doesn't practice mainstream medicine anymore" ......??

..as is Dr Hyde , whose book you happily recommend , but i note you didn't feel the need to point that out when recommending people buy it.

How do you know Dr Hyde is struck off? He is Canadian.

quick internet search ... at first glance seems to have been hounded out of practice with repeated cases , so he agreed to the 'charges' and resigned in 2019.. haven't looked into it very deeply , but looks like they were going after him on things like 'poor record keeping' etc etc (when in his 80's)

As I understand it, she was effectively struck off because she didn't issue as many drugs as others. Sounds good to me!

MEguy, 'Oh her. She's a struck-off doctor I think. Or at least she doesn't practice mainstream medicine anymore.'

Please at least get your facts straight before making disparaging remarks like this.

in reply to MEguy

Are you aware of the quality of 99.9% of endocrinologists who keep us undertreated/undiagnosed and remain blithely UNstruck off? Barry Peatfield also voluntarily renounced his DR title and went on to save many lives. At this point, being “struck off” / having the balls to stand up to the despicable level of “care” we receive in the field of thyroid medicine is the greenest flag around. I don’t want to sound inhospitable, but your attitude/nom de plume demonstrates that you might not be in the correct forum. If you don’t mind my asking, do you have thyroid disease?

They aren't endos though. Most of them are diabetes specialists I heard. Although endos have to toe the line from Mother Goose as it were too. I know. It's shameful. Nah, I came here cos I am still not convinced about ME so I was looking for answers in the thyroid forum. No, I do not have primary thyroid disease. Whether my ME is another form of thyroid malfunction though, I can't say/prove. I guess ME is a distinct disease then.

in reply to MEguy

A diabetes “specialist”/thyroid “specialist” are both endocrinologists (endo). What are your thyroid labs?

MEguy in reply to

No idea, I am doing very well at the moment so I have not tested in a while. My thyroid tests were all midrange though, ie FT3 and FT4 last time I tested or at least a third of the way through the range. My B12 was low normal at 275 and my folate and vit D were low (under the range). So I took some supplments for a while but since becoming well, I have stopped.

in reply to MEguy

Midrange while you were unwell?

MEguy profile image
MEguy in reply to

yes, i guess because I have ME.

in reply to MEguy

but I thought you said you don’t have ME anymore?

MEguy profile image
MEguy in reply to

It's in remission. I feel well at the moment. I don't know what my lab tests are like though at the moment while well.

in reply to MEguy

I think that if you want to get the best out of this forum you’d be best looking at your labs when you were unwell and comparing them to now, the forum will help you understand if your thyroid was involved. However if you did have ME caused by thyroid it’s unlikely it would go into remission. Even if the autoimmune element of thyroid disease goes into remission, we remain symptomatic due to damage to the gland.
