Robin Brown

Dr. K.N. Hng, also known as Robin Brown, is a British physician with ME/CFS. Dr. Hng authored the book, M.E. and Me: A Doctor's Struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which chronicles her experience as a Gastroenterology trainee who developed ME/CFS. The book has a twin, Doctor with M.E.: My journey with "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". Identical on the inside, the different name and cover may appeal to a different audience.

Dr. Hng's book is written with both the busy clinician and the brain fogged patient in mind. Pocket sized and double spaced, it is an easy read. Her compelling personal story is followed up with much useful information. In particular, educational resources are attractively presented and summarised. This book serves as the ideal starting point for clinicians learning about ME. It is also a useful way for patients to easily explain their problems to friends and family who do not understand.

In addition to the book, Dr. Hng has produced many other resources which she regularly posts on Facebook. These resources are continually updated, and many are also available in multiple languages. Translation work is ongoing so watch this space!
