Immune balance and sleep
About.com is a “guidance” portal driven by expert sources and advisors, and has a lot of instructional blogging on 
health. I try to tune into the Stress Blog on About from time to time to keep current with the topic, since immune balance and EpiCor may be linked with countering physical symptoms resulting from stress.
About.com has a forum on fibromyalgia, with a blog moderated by Adrienne Dellwo, a journalist who was forced to scale back her reporting career because of fibromyalgia. This week her post talks about new research showing that an imbalance of cytokines–agents in your body’s immune system that both promote and suppress inflammation–may be a cause of sleep disruptions in fibromyalgia sufferers.
Not that everyone has fibromyalgia, of course. But such findings continue to illustrate the effects that lack of immune balance–from whatever cause–can have on everyday health and living.
