Thanks for this public-service description of the TTT.
Mine was in an outpatient room at the hospital, administered by a cardiologist, and almost 20 years ago. One difference was they inserted an intravenous line and hung a bag of saline so they could control my blood volume.
When they tilted me to 70° I said, "Feels great!" and I "stood" there a while feeling like a total impostor. Then they injected a hint of adrenalin in the IV, and I was out like a light. I asked the cardiologist, "So, what to do?" and he said, "I don't know. I've never done this for someone with CFS before. Good luck!"
Ah doctors, can't live without 'em, can't kill 'em.
