    Me-ICC exclusions

    IOM seemed very reasonable, but on the other hand, I've seen a recent study showing that it tends to select people with depression (in pediatric patients). It's, of course, an open question as to whether that depression is a result of ME or CFS or if it's a primary disorder.. I tend to think...

    Orthostatic Intolerance in PwME (POTS?/NMH?) - discussion thread

    If you have a look at the lecture from Bateman Horne Center on POTS, presenter clearly says that he thinks it's possible to have POTS without tachyvardia. I think that it's very likely a case in many ME patients. POTS is a trap becaue if you don't have positive results then once again doctor...
