Arrow In the news: Narcolepsy = autoimmune
DebbieD- I thought of you when I read today's Jane Brody column in the NYTs Science section. Find it here:

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/0...y/?ref=science

It says that "the underpinnings" of narcolepsy are autoimmune w 70,000 brain cells that should regulate hypocretin dying. Hypocretin regulates sleep.

So, if you have one autoimmune disease.....

Worth checking into.
