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.

Narcolepsy has been linked recently to the Glaxo squalene version of H1N1 vaccine:

I usually only see the first minute or so of a dvd I watch in bed, then I am out whether I want to be or not. I have fallen asleep at the kitchen table, and in my computer chair.

It was the main reason I stopped working when I did as a truck driver, I couldn`t stay awake. It`s odd though, I made a 22 hour drive to Florida with only a couple of brief stops for naps. A 12 hour drive to Rhode Island with none. It did seem like I paid for both for a few weeks afterwards though, just a general feeling of not being well.
