Thoughts on Nancy Klimas ‘anti-exercise’ exercise protocol?
After being couchbound for 6 months, I’ve been on Mestinon for a few weeks now with good results - I am hopeful that I can start slowly (SLOWLY) building back movement & strength.

Girl with POTS treated for Anemia successfully (new book)

How much ORS?
I’ve been taking the new WHO ORS formula for about a year when my POTS acts up, 1-3x/week and it has really helped. This year though I’ve been in a heavy CFS flare and POTS has been extremely bad last two months. If I take the ORS 2-3x most days it evens out. I’m hoping this situation will not...- NancyM

Getting off of beta blockers - try number 84565639903 ;)
I think beta blockers are pretty evil, especially if you have adrenaline issues already (which I do). I'd rather use an ACE inhibitor if one could be identified that had proper testing for use in migraine. However, it's ideal to not be taking drugs unless absolutely the last resort. So I'm...- Not dead yet!
