EDS ECHO Summit: Fatigue Virtual Summit, October 21, 2023

This talk will discuss the importance of orthostatic intolerance (OI) as a common and treatable contributor to fatigue. We will discuss practical methods of identifying OI in the office setting, then move on to how to treat OI, emphasizing medication management as well as some conditions to consider when the expected improvements are not forthcoming.

His clinical and research interests have focused on medical conditions characterized by chronic fatigue. He has directed the Chronic Fatigue Clinic at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center since 1996, where he is the inaugural recipient of the Sunshine Natural Wellbeing Foundation Chair in Chronic Fatigue and Related Disorders.
