I posted this yesterday on the autonomia/cardio board as I didn't see this board. You might find it interesting:
I've recently read about a thiamine deficiency or inability to properly utilize thiamine as causing autonomia, POTS and other ailments. Here are a couple of links:

I first started reading about thiamine, and its link to energy, here:
http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=18187
I have CFS, not FM, and I think I have mild POTS. I didn't tolerate high doses of thiamine but did okay on 50 mg. So if one were going to try taking high doses, I'd suggest starting slowly, 100 mg. at a time.
