Byron Hyde
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Dr. Bryon Marshall Hyde is a family practice physician in Ottawa, Canada, who has dedicated his practice solely to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) since 1984, after several of his colleagues developed the illness.[1] In 1988, he founded the Nightingale Research Foundation, which is committed to exploring and understanding myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and fibromyalgia-type illnesses.[2]
Dr. Hyde has traveled extensively to study ME and examine patients, spending time at: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in Atlanta, US; Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, US; the UK; Australia; New Zealand; and Akureyri, Iceland.[1][2]
In 1991, Dr. Hyde organized the first World Symposium on M.E. at Cambridge University in collaboration with Dr. John Richardson and the Newcastle Research Group in the UK.[2]
