I was diagnosed with CFS in the early 90s and had the NMH problem. It's much better now than it was then but still a problem.
Thanks for the info about alpha antagonistic and beta agonistic antibodies.

I think it's just being recognized more frequently. Kind of like the ADHD "epidemic". Luckily, most adolescents improve within the couple years vs. adults who don't. I hope the girls on your sister's street do. There's a lot of research and a new drug for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (which I have as well), and I think that's kind of triggered more research and knowledge into all types of orthostatic hypotension and their associated disorders. Just my opinion.
