Agree, we should be able to refute it or strongly support it from the published literature. My initial attempts at that look like refutation. How can fibromyalgia in Turkish women be associated with HIGHER body temperature if my hypotheses are true?

And I wonder if there are enough Less Wrong readers with friends with these diseases to make a survey of some sort?

That's not how you find patients a lot of patients. It makes more sense to seek online communitites where people with the illnesses congregate.

There's the patientslikeme forum: https://www.patientslikeme.com/forum/fibromyalgia/topics
