    Exercise Intolerance in Hypermobility: Systemic Vascular Distensibility relates to exercise capacity in connective tissue disease (Singh et al 2021)

    A Similar Kind of Exercise Intolerance is Found in Connective Tissue Diseases, ME/CFS and Long COVID Results The study found that the blood vessels of people with CTD did not dilate as much as the healthy controls. The CTD patients also displayed an “impaired stroke volume increase”. As their...

    Any Dr. Systrom patients here? - Mestinon (Pyridostigmine bromide) and safety profile

    Hello, So I got a prescription for Mestinon from my doctor to see if it helps with exertional intolerance (most notably pain/discomfort after exercise). I am freaking out about it though.

    Unexplained exertional dyspnea caused by low ventricular filling pressures: results from clinical invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing

    This isn't about ME, but some of the patients had POTS, and this is discussed in the context of exercise testing. Thought the results might be of interest to some here. I have pulled out one of the relevant sections and quoted it (below the abstract)...
