Narcolepsy has been discovered to be an autoimmune disease:

Open Original Shared Link

The genetics involve HLA and they suspect it could be linked to multiple sclerosis and juvenile diabetes. And perhaps celiac??? Who knows!

I wouldn't be surprised if one day "they" decide that many of these things are linked, and if some of them may actually be manifestations of the same thing. I would not be surprised to hear that a great many maladies stem from all of the "stuff" we pump into the air, ground, food etc. We are no better than geese who poop where we eat....so to speak.

My soon to be ex-husband suffered from narcolepsy for years. For him it was definately linked to celiac. He has gotten much better since he went gluten-free. He no longer falls asleep in the middle of conversations and doesn't need a nap after every meal.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Awful terrible burning pains recently. Got suicidal thoughts from this crap yet again. I'm going to try doing low carb again as meat and veg type food has in the past reduced it. This is doing my head in.

      Current careteam is still up in the air about my celiac thanks to me googling "celiac specialist" what popped  up was once known as a good name hospital back in the days. I went in for answers for my declining health, it was the autoimmune part that did me in, being a former bus driver.I read that in my medical records so easily downplayed, i refused the gluten challenge! Why the hell would I eat Gluten when im Celiac coming to them for answers when my body is falling apart? Glutenfree since 1994. They did unnecessary colonoscopy KNOWING im glutenfree. A celiac specialist would know that would be pointless to do if not eating gluten and it was done!Im so angery with that hospital for not explaining celiac disease and withholding information, Downplaying my ailments , mental distress,  causing more health issues, ect. All this could have been avoided If medical records were sent, when asked, explained and done properly. Im so angery.I do have the celiac dietitian on here in June and linked her up to my current health care yesterday, fingers crossed hopefully with that, the understanding of celiac is explained it's not just a food allergy will be understood.
