I'm back! 😁
Next I'll share some resources.
I'll start by talking about Orthostatic Intolerance (OI). This is when folks get symptoms when in an upright posture, most often from standing, but also when sitting upright. This condition is common in both ME/CFS and Long Covid.
Sadly, many doctors don't know about OI even though it's an optional diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS.

This 2-part video series from the Bateman Horne Center about Orthostatic Intolerance in ME/CFS is very helpful: "What is Orthostatic Intolerance in ME/CFS?"
