Every person investigated had the genetic marker that makes it possible for you to get narcolepsy.

Since Narcolpesy is an auto-immune disease, people with the genetic marker can get it from any sort of vaccination or ailment.

Overall I think it is far better for people to get vaccinated against the possible deadly versions such as Bird Flu and Swine Flu.

The chances of something going wrong are minimal. The percentage who got narcolpesy is tiny compared to the number of lives it saved.

I think it is total coincidence you getting some sort of flu after the vaccinations.

Just saw a very interesting doc about narcolepsy, learnt a bit about it!

There have been some good ones made the last couple of years but they tend to annoy sufferers a bit when they play innapropriate music, such as lullaby, when showing a victim falling asleep.

None of them stress enough the fact that anybody with the genetic marker, which is over 50% of the population, can get narcolepsy at any stage in their life.

When people realise they are at risk they tend to listen more.

They didn't go into the causes at all, but there was a lot about what it was like living with narcolepsy.
