Patient Support for Dr Sarah Myhill Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ]

751	Anonymous	This action is quite upsetting. Dr Myhill is clearly the primary source of positive help for much of us with M.E. in the UK. If it wasn't for her help, I would have been hospialized some years ago. I have experienced nothing but professionalism in her treatment and approach. Never have I been put at any risk from her, nor her website (which clearly states how the information should be used). If Dr Myhill is limited by the GMC in her practise, patients like me will clearly suffer.

753	Anonymous	I have found Dr. Myhill to be the most knowledgeable Dr. I've seen for severe ME.She is a Dr. who actively listens to her patients' medical history and has learnt much in so doing. Her advice has been very helpful in managing my ME.

757	Sharon Wride	I have found Dr Myhill's general advice and support invaluable and am really concerned that as a result of the hearing, the great work that she is doing will be restricted. She has enabled me to have access to treatments and tests that would have been denied to me under the NHS and I think that the way that I have been treated by the NHS has been much more harmful as I have been left without any hope, feeling isolated and not knowing which way to turn. Dr Myhill has given me real hope and a clear direction to follow and I sign this petition without hesitation.
758	Kate Kilroy	I find it incredible that a doctor who is trying to help people with ME & other illness is being 'hounded'. The NHS is not interested in an illness, to which there is not a simple solution. I have gained a lot of insight into my illness from Dr Mayhill's website.

764	Beryl Dixon	In today's climate when people are so quick to sue if they recieve poor service it is interesting that no patients have ever lodged an action against Sarah Myhill but only doctors who can't or won't offer any help to suffers other than pschological coping strategies. With out Dr. Myhill's tests and advice my 12 years-old grandson would be even poorlier than he is presently.

766	Nina Crummy	The advice Doctor Myhill offers on her website regarding CFS/ME is sound and sensible. Every GP in the country should be using it as an aid to treating the disease.
767	Patricia Whitmarsh	The Establishment/conservative medical profession and all allied forces with similar vested interests have undertaken every devious, manipulative and even corrupt practices when deemed necessary to ignore the truth about ME. The psychiatrists' have a vested interests, as do pharmaceutical companies and chemical companies, amongst other vested interests. Sadly real investigation and research may come too late for some of us - but eventually we ME sufferers and 'sympathisers' will win through. The people united will never be defeated - ultimately. I thank those who have jepardised their careers etc., to help those with ME and their families.

776	Anonymous	Such a pity that the GMC "collective brains" could not be put together to discuss the treatment of patients, instead of crucifying one of the most forward thinking doctors....
777	Michael John Burt	My grandfathers, my father and I served in the Armed Forces of the UK at times when we were told we were fighting for freedom - I suggest that the actions taken against Dr Sarah Myhill et al is in contradiction to this ethic in that the GMC is de facto acting in the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry rather than in the all round health interest of the public. The book DIRTY MEDICINE by the investigative jouralist Martin J Walker reveals this to be the case.

781	Brian Beal	My son has had M.E. over several years. During this time he has visited Dr. Myhill on a number of occasions and also received helpful telephone advice when too ill to attend her surgery. Without doubt her informed, caring approach has been invaluable to him over this time. I cannot stress how highly her professionalism and expertise is regarded by our family.

784	Sally Rose	I hav not been a direct patient of Dr myhill but have been aware of her work via friends who are and have found her published information available very helpful and the approach useful and supportive. This contrasts very favourably with the NHS help available and I find it abhorrent that she is being castigated for her approach which is nothing but helpful and supportive.
785	Maria Dickinson	Dr Myhills approach helps people like me with ME, I have used a Dr with a similar approah which has helped me achieve a better quality of life. What a shame i dare not mention her name in case she has a similar experience
786	Anonymous	D. Dr. Myhill's innovative, no nonsense, yet entirely sympathetic approach could be emulated by many more conventional doctors.

788	Natalie Boulton	Dr Myhill has been of enormous help to my daughter who has been very ill with enteroviral ME for around 16 years. There are very few doctors who are so well informed about research and developments in CFS, make such a positive contribution to their patients well being, and work so responsibly in collaboration with GP's

790	Bernard Speakman	I have never been in contact with, or met , Dr Sarah Myhill, but I have spoken to several of her patients (or their carers) who have a ME/CFS diagnosis. I've come to the conclusion that Dr Myhill is one of a handful of medical practictoners who really understands this complex illness [ME/CFS] and can prescribe treatment / management regimes that ACTUALLY WORK !!

792	Ann Jones	Dr Myhill has given me more explanation of ME,more understanding , and more help and support- despite being 2oo miles away-than any other doctor over the last 17 years.If only there were more like her, I feel that we could move closer to a diagnostic procedure &treatment, and allow the many thousands of people handicapped by the condition (including their families) to get their lives back.
793	Susan Hart	My G.P. supports Dr. Myhills approach to M.E and does not have a problem with either the B12 or Thyriod. Without the B12 injections daily, I am totally bedbound, we know it helps as we did a trial run without, symptoms rapidly presented themselves at a chronic level. I am at best up and dressed with support, i am house bound as I cannot make or store enough enery to walk anywhere. At 51 I am in my 5th years of a devastating illness. I never have been a 'couch potato' this illness has seen the death of a previous lifestyle. My GP is powerless to prescribe B12 under current nhs guidelines as I don't have pernicious anemia, even tho he knows it helps me. He could help with the nutrients my body needs, but again he can't because these do not come from big drug companies. Without the support of Dr. Myhill who has been prepared to think outside 'the box and put her knowledge into practice' my quality of life would be unbearable. Any tests performed to gain knowledge of how my energy levels are affected are all at my own expense through recognised laboritories. I am one of the lucky ones. There are poeple out there on the poverty line, stuck in a beaurocratic system, with none or little hope of quality of life. I have been discharged from the ME team - The parting shot from the consultant: 'I treat Aids patients all the time, I don't know why you don't make store and utilise egergy, go home and live each day the best you can, unless your inflamation levels reach 1000 I will not treat you' My inflamation levels are in the 500's way too high. I said someone was having to run my business .... Attitude changed... I asked if he would have treat me differently had he known that. He shuffled embarrased and said ... Well at least you still have a business. The M.E. team have nothing to offer under strict guidlines of what they are allowed to do to help ME patients under nhs. We often come over as being 'desparate' people - we are desparate for help and understanding of the illness we have 24hours a day 7 days a week. I often wonder what the suicide rate is with this illness ----- Without Dr. Myhnill my limited world would not exist . I am not under any illusions of a cure at best I want to live life the best I can. THe NHS has nothing to offer -- I ask that you think very carefully about the intention to hunt Dr. Myhill down - STEP INTO MY SHOES FOR 48 HOURS AND I AM SURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR HER SUPPORT.

797	Sarah Blackler	I know Dr Myhill through her articles for "Interaction" which is the journal for Action for ME. I find her articles very informative, straightforward, balanced and non-sensational. I recently took up some advice from one of her articles and found it extremely helpful.
798	Amy Waters	Dr Sarah Myhill has been my only source of medical support since I started with CFS (because no one else was intersted!) She has been my rock and continues to strive to rid me of this terrible condition.

800	Tony & Rosemary Winnall	Dr. Myhill is the only Doctor to help our daughter during the 7 years of ME. Her current encouraging recovery stage we attribute entirely to Dr. Myhill's treatment. Her website is helpful and we benefited considerably from telephone consutations when Nicola, our daughter, was bedridden. For us, she was a lifeline, and the only medic we could rely on.
