Inflammation and Emotional Meaning

Written By Michelle R. Gerdes

Inflammation amplifies.

It amplifies sensation.

It amplifies fatigue.

It can amplify emotion.

When intensity rises, the mind searches for explanation.

But intensity is not always insight.

Sometimes the signal is physiological.

When inflammation lowers, perception often changes.

Literacy reduces unnecessary meaning- making.

Stability builds clarity. 2/20/26
