roselawn,

There are no studies on the effects of any medical condition on the outcome of polygraph tests. So anything anyone might say about the effects of fibromyalgia on polygraph results would be speculative.

More importantly, polygraphy has not been proven through peer-reviewed research to reliable perform at better-than-chances in people who do not suffer from a chronic or acute medical condition, let alone those who do. See Chapter 1 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector for more on the scientific status of polygraphy.

what effects, if any, can something like having fibromyalgia have on the outcome of a polygraph?
