    Orthostatic Intolerance in PwME (POTS?/NMH?) - discussion thread

    Format of NICE stakeholder meeting?

    Think NICE Comms are more than aware of our issues with GET/CBT. More and more 'talk' taking place publically and we are all trying to add our bit by RT, sharing on FB, adding info. Thank you to all members who attended and are reporting in. Rest well, ready for the next stage.
