PEM (post exertional malaise) can be difficult to explain. But I think orthostatic intolerance is even harder to explain.

People wonder how just standing still - or even sitting upright but I can do that longer - can be a problem. I have a lot more trouble standing still for a few minutes than walking for a few minutes. I must sit down to shower or brush my teeth.

Interesting to read the rationale behind this approach (tilting the head of your bed) but still seems speculative for ME/CFS where "the normal rules often don't apply"
