Very interesting article about neuroinflamation in FM, using PET-MRI with a tracer for glial activation.
I think it has lots of interesting information regarding LDN, Duloxetine and how to asses brain inflamation.
It also refers to the work of Jared Younger and Dr Nakatomi, from Japan.
There is Glial activity dected in the Cingulated Cortex in this FM study and in the Nakatomi study; and in this sudy this activity is associated with the severity of fatigue.
