I forgot to note the swollen lymph nodes and muscle aches. Cognitive problems are forgetfulness (see above), inability to concentrate, and a sense of fogginess or fuzziness.
Getting dizzy and wanting to lie down after exercise sure sounds familiar.
Here are some links to info about NMH:

and on and on and on...just do a google searchNot all researchers think that there is a link between NMH & CFS. Because the CFS diagnosis is often one of exclusion I think there is probably more than one cause. The two conditions also exist independently.
I never had a tilt table test. It sounds ghastly. I self-diagnosed, and when I found a doc who was familiar w/ the condition he agreed with me.
