My brain is in a VERY delicate situation and I have to be careful. I had viral encephalitis in 2001, and if you know anything about it, it can cause medications to affect you in some unredictable ways and make you more susceptible to severe side effects from the lasting effects encephalitis can have on the brain.
But I'm looking at the bright side with minocycline and Im going to take it.
Data suggest that cytokines released during the inflammatory response target subcortical structures including the basal ganglia as well as dopamine function to acutely induce behavioral changes that support fighting infection and wound healing. However, chronic inflammation and exposure to inflammatory cytokines appears to lead to persisting alterations in the basal ganglia and dopamine function reflected by anhedonia, fatigue, and psychomotor slowing. Moreover, reduced neural responses to hedonic reward, decreased dopamine metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid and increased presynaptic dopamine uptake and decreased turnover have been described. This multiplicity of changes in the basal ganglia and dopamine function suggest fundamental effects of inflammatory cytokines on dopamine synthesis, packaging, release and/or reuptake, which may sabotage and circumvent the efficacy of current treatment approaches. Thus, examination of the mechanisms by which cytokines alter the basal ganglia and dopamine function will yield novel insights into the treatment of cytokine-induced behavioral changes and inflammatory malaise.
I like this study. It seems relevant to my situation. I just feel bad for many of the users on this site receiving innacurate information from some on this site. Nothing I can do I suppose. I haven't been on this site nearly as long as some and don't have as good reputation. And I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I only state information I know much about. And much of it is facts.
