First potential biomarker for a debilitating fainting condition: Nearly 90% of those in the largest-to-date study of patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome had elevated levels of a specific autoantibody. The finding both adds… dlvr.it/RClfKq

Not today, I Like that!! Way to go with the positivity Hal! I know, "Positivity" was auto-corrected as not being a word, but we all know! It's a word. And positivity is what we need when we are working with POTS!

Huge news that we've got here! POTS is a syndrome, which means that something is a collection of symptoms occurring in conjunction with one another. That is to say, there may not be a single cause of POTS-like experiences and symptoms. That being said - Huge!!

A small but significant minority of people with ME/CFS also have (PoTS). But it often remains undiagnosed because of lack of knowledge amongst health professionals. Our PoTS management file is available for download from the MEA Shop: meassociation.org.uk/shop/medical-m… #MECFS #PoTS

Shout out to @erikacolson and her awesome Husband Scott! Guys, we are working on POTS over here, but as an autonomic nervous system condition, we wanted to widen the umbrella for everyone to stand under!! That's why we wanted to reach out - because you guys have a great name!!

Huge innovative contribution by U of Toledo!! Thank you, congratulations, and best of luck disseminating this work that is going to be critical in the diagnosis of POTS.
