The Inflammatory Response
The inflammatory response is by
nature designed as the body's means of coping with various traumas and
infections. However, overreaction of the inflammatory response has proven
very harmful to the body. A perfect
example of the harmful effects of inflammation is the destruction of joint
tissue in Rheumatoid Arthritis: NEJM, Mar 22, 2001. Likely
explanation for all pain: Inflammation, omoigui07.txt. Identification
and treatment of symptoms associated with inflammation in medically ill
patients, dantzer.etal07.txt, dantzer.etal07.pdf. Studies on Inflammation in CFS and FM
Decreased DHEA
sulfate but normal insulin-like growth factor in CFS: Relevance for the
inflammatory response in CFS, maes.etal05.txt.
Low grade inflammation and arterial wave reflection in patients with CFS, spence.etal07.txt. A
subset of FM patients have
findings suggestive of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and
appear to respond to IVIgIn FM, caro.etal07.txt. Lymphocyte Glucocorticoid Sensitivity
Glucocorticoid sensitivity of immune cells in
severely fatigued adolescent girls: A longitudinal study, wolbeek.etal.07.txt, wolbeek.etal07.txt, wolbeek.etal07.pdf. HPA axis reactivity and lymphocyte

More
and more evidence has been pointing in the direction of CFS being caused by
inflammation in the brain, klimas06.txt. A study on the effect of cytokines on brain
functioning was referred in the press,
Yirmiya et al., 2001. On psychological stress including the influence of
sex hormones: Maes et al., 1999 and Song et al., 1999. On posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Maes et al., 1999. The Brain in FM
