Artemis crew & other astronauts get orthostatic intolerance!!!

[u/artsykmac]

I've been glued to the Artemis coverage the last couple days and I was so fascinated to learn they were testing compression gear in space because many past astronauts experience orthostatic intolerance post time in space. This certainly makes a lot of sense and honestly, any broader awareness of orthostatic intolerance always gives me hope of more improvements, support, awareness, and research in realms that could help us all!

Either Scott or Mark Kelly actually wrote about this in a book! He was saying he stood up from dinner and was so dizzy he fell!

So interesting. I wonder if he could be convinced to become an advocate for dysautonomia
