Cool is RIGHT! I have been considering this for a while. These babies can ZOOM! Mild to moderate exercise can help us because it decreases our inflammatory cytokines. I found the effect to last for about an hour and a half. I would encourage anyone who can still exercise to do so, but not excessively. Our inflammatory cytokines then go UP. Not good. Unfortunately, as is true of many of us, if our hypothalamus and other organs can become affected, it can become almost impossible to exercise. My aim is to avoid us getting there to start with, but if already there, focusing our treatment on regaining vagus nerve function, reducing hydrocephalus, and decreasing the magnification of inflammatory cytokines by getting control of the mast cells that amplify them. Meanwhile, have FUN and Heavens, please watch for speeding vehicles! 🙂
