Heat vs. Fatigue: Hyperthermia as a Possible Treatment Option for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), 2025, Hochecker

Almost there! Still working on it, $3.5 million ME/CFS mechanistic study with cryotherapy as a way in.

That's interesting - is there a thread on that cryotherapy study?

Not sure if this is related.

It seems to have a dodgy rationale, although that doesn't mean it might not work for other reasons.

I too remain unconvinced. My experiences with both hot and cold weather don't provide any evidence that temperature extremes help in any way.

If I was to study any weather based variables it would be humidity.
