As someone who has narcolepsy I need to tell you that not all people have all these symptoms. Also, I the 2007 case of the bird flu is what causes mine
I think I may have narcolepsy, I feel tired all the time, fall asleep randomly, have nightmares every night, I sleep for 12 hours on weekend and still need a 2 hr afternoon nap.
I occasionally sleepwalk and have sleep paralysis with hallucinations, thankfully that hasn't happened in a while.
How about sleep debt causes narcolepsy (it raises both orexin and melanin concentrating hormone, latter triggering rem sleep).
They did an experiment, it took 20 days of extra sleep to work off accumulated sleep debt, a total of about 50 hours extra sleep in addition to the required 8h each night (they put people in total darkness for 12h+), before sleep went back to only 8h. With much improved mood, vigor etc. This was for normal people without symptoms. Probably a tad more for people with narcolepsy.

my narcolepsy symptoms started directly after having a HORRIBLE flu in 2010 that i wondered if it was swine flu. 105 fever for 5 days. i gasped when this video mentioned a major connection!!!!!! its held me back in life tremendously
Thank goodness for Fritz!! I don't have narcolepsy nor do I know anyone who does but I can't imagine how debilitating it is for those who suffer from it. And I can also imagine the frustration in getting a diagnosis. Has there been any progress medically/pharmaceutically in the past few years??
Your information about narcolepsy was very interesting. From the comments below, viewers might be interested in learning about sleep. If you are looking for a doctor's perspective on this subject, then Doctor Avinesh Bhar would be interested in doing an interview/video with you. He is a fellowship-trained and board-certified doctor in sleep and pulmonary medicine. He is based in Macon, Georgia, and has a sleep treatment practice. Thank you.
Great! But this is about Narcolepsy Type 1 (with Cataplexy) Now please make a video explaining Narcolepsy Type 2 (w/o Cataplexy), which is what I suffer from since birth. Thanks!
This happens when you try to prove yourself, better and More deserving other than the act intimacy. Maybe this persona!ity disorder comes from abuse that could have happened before you could remember as a child or youngster, or a toddler,
that s why you should never eat pigs.

I just spent nine days in the hospital for pneumonia, heart failure, and exhaustion all because I can't sleep.
😢😣 It's sad~

I like how the narcolepsy expert wears a hairdo as if he just got out of bed

How lit my Mum, Brother, Sister and I all have horrible luck I guess.
What about the swine flu vaccine?
This video gives the impression only Swine Flu is the cause of Narcolepsy. Can’t it be caused by other infections?
Could this disorder be a side effect of long time use of SSRIs?
I have a related condition called idiopathic hypersomnia.
Thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate ❤
I know 100% that my type 1 narcolepsy was triggered by wearing a 24hr nicotine patch. Symptoms began within hours of putting it on.

I really hate this condition…it's a difficult to maintain my relationships
I have this disease but I don't sleep in day but I wanted to so much and in night I cannot sleep because of mind distrub
I loss my job because I never know when it's going to happen. But it's not considered a disability.
I'm a little confused. He's saying the dog is born with that but impli humans humans get it later on because of those virus. I was born this way.
Fantastic work doctor!!!

I have narcolepsy. In 2021 I had a spinal tap to check my orexin levels – they are fine.
Wow! I've lived with this for 60 years. Only got a diagnosis at 30.
They say it's not genetic and yet my Mother as well as 2 children have this also.
But if we are going to heal the gut, out with carbs, keto style it can be cured!
This clarifies everything New hypocretin cannot be added or induced to be produced by the body? Or replanted somehow?
Sure feels like seizures ! My body trembling violently and jerking.
My ex wife had a friend who would fall asleep mid-sentence and finish the sentence perhaps several minutes or hours after waking up.
