A very important news for narcolepsy

Posted by Barry on July 02, 2001 at 21:39:14:

I also agree that there are two different causes narcolepsy with cataplexy and narcolepsy without cataplexy respectively. I have suffered from narcolepsy without cataplexy for a long time. Sleep attacks(N without C)are irresistible everyday, so sometimes I have to have a nap
in toilet(closing the door) to release the bad feeling of sleep attack.
Please pay more attention on the relation between narcolepsy and AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER(it is reported that autoimmune disorder causes decreasing hypocretin level and so cause irresistible abnormal sleep which attacks the wake state).
Moreover,for some cases,maybe there is a possible relation between narcolepsy and allergy. Of course,it is not a clear answer yet. Have some narcoleptic patients
also suffered from some allergy symptoms?
