    I think I might be able to demonstrate with a simple test that there is a circulatory problem.

    If I stand on my feet and reach down to pet my cat, and then after 10 or 20 seconds bring the head back up, I feel unwell (dizzy, malaise, weak). If I repeat this posture change (giving the body some time to adjust to each change) then it gets increasingly worse. After a few times I'm visibly weak and slow so much that it cannot be missed by an outside observer.

    I find that any repeated movement can reduce me to a paralysed lump eventually. The definition of ME as a disease where you can lift a bag of potatoes over your head once but not lift a spoon to your mouth five times captures much of my disability but does not seem to be well known among scientists and researchers.
