After reading about that poor man stuck to the front of the semi, I decided to look for another similar “stress” story online. The link below brings you to an article about a woman who was constantly on the road. She had little sleep and ate unhealthy meals. In the end, her bad habits led her to a complete body breakdown. It surprised me that she was homebound for 4 years; in bed for the first three months. Doctors didn’t really know what was wrong with her. After a long period of resting time, she was back on her feet and driving again. As said in our Myers book, psychoneuroimmunology is the study of psychological, neural, and endocrine processes together and how they affect the immune system. Liz Tucker, the woman in the story, is the perfect example of how stress can affect the human body.
