My lowest was 50 over 32. I have a very wide pulse pressure (the distance between). Like 100 over 50. Or 80 over 35. There is something very strange about that, too.

Yes--chronically low.
MP site says that low blood pressure resolves with treatment, according to reports from people on that program.
I have low body temp also, although it's been around 98.1 to 98.3 fairly often in the last two months. Before, it was almost always 97.8 or below.
Best,

I've had NMH/POTS for decades. I compensated for it unknowingly for years. Now I need meds to be functional. It is improving with treatment, though.
My LLMD uses the ANSAR testing to monitor my changes.

Me too! Often mine is in the 85/50 or when it's really bad in the 80/45 range. Sometimes it's 90/60. I have really bad orthostatic intolerance/POTS too.
I did not realize this was yet another Lyme symptom. Thanks for posting this.
Some CFIDS patients do saline IVs and feel better afterward (temporary boost in blood volume, hence increase in pressure)or drink water with salt and potassium salt mixed in to bring up the pressure -- I have found both helpful at times but the effects don't last.
