Autoimmunity to hypocretin and molecular mimicry to flu in type 1 narcolepsy - Emmanuel Mignot

AlphaFold from DeepMind would be an excelent tool to study those mimicry models

My grandfather Had it and I think I have it too

I had the flu in feb of 2017, diagnosed with narcolepsy 1 in May of 2019. So frustrating 😔😴

[@andrews629]

so sorry to hear narcolepsy develops like this.. what age are you? was the flu in any way different?

[@andrewhansen3085]

32 when I got sick. Flu A and B. Never been so sick before. Missed 2 weeks of work. Then could never stay awake during the day, at one point I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia and narcolepsy.

Please more awareness about this! I even wonder, how going through covid could possibly trigger similar or different results in your immune system. This whole picture we are starting to see with autoimmune diseases, it is right now, more relevant and accurate than it ever was since the start of it with the spanish flu. We will see results soon from those who had covid or took the shot and they felt differently forever...

[@blokmuskuloskeletal9395]

since you mention this molecular mimicry, could it be treated with ivig or steroid? since Guillain Barre Syndrome also has the same pathophysiology

Did someone get diagnose, that Have cataplexy, but failed mslt test?

[@dawnr7798]

Yes. I have cataplexy.

Sooo, how do I fix it?

See a sleep specialist doctor for prescribing of suitable meds
