Abstract Rheumatology, such as other subspecialties, has both a unique perspective to offer as well as an evolving role to play in the global COVID-19 pandemic. Our field has already contributed meaningfully to the development and repurposing of many of the immune-based therapeutics which are...

Highlights Fibromyalgia (FM) may involve an overactive immune system. We used endotoxin to stimulate the immune system in women with FM. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed increased brain temperature in the thalamus. N-Acetylaspartate decreased in the left Rolandic operculum. FM patients...
