Add another question:  is there anything substantiated about caffeine
worsening fibromyalgia aka (Primary Fibrositic Syndrome)? 

Some of the literature from the Arthritis Foundation suggests limiting
stimulants, but I couldn't tell whether that was just an intuitively
reasonable suggestion (given the relationship between stress and PFS),
or whether there were published studies.
