“Identifying where and how cytokine receptors work in the brain, we have begun to unravel the complex relationship between the nervous and immune systems in the effect of this complex crosstalk on mood and behavior,” said Professor Jun Huh of Harvard Medical School. “We hope these insights could eventually lead to new treatments for conditions like autism and anxiety disorders.”

Just having a rant about feeling awful today.

I thought this flare wouldn't last long. Usually when I get siatica and feel awful, it goes away in a few days. But the siatica went away, I tested positive for Lupus and thought this must be old news. But here I am 2 month later with new inflammation, suddenly being hit with fatigue in the middle of the day and as a bonus today I got some sort of migraine. Anyone else know if there's a pattern to these?

Getting up and #exercising once a day for an hour is great, but if you spend the rest of your day sitting, those benefits decrease. Being #sedentary for hours, whether it's during the long #commute or at a desk, can impact how well the #immunesystem works, leaving you prone to #inflammation. Increasing #physical activity during the day improves #circulation and enhances #immunefunction. Simple activities such as #standing during #phonecalls and taking a #walk and #lunch can make a difference.
