Autoimmune Disorder

Here is a link to a new report I found on narcolepsy....I have been known to frequently kick myself in the arse, but it appears our immune systems have joined in on the fun...

Yeah Dr. Mignot talked about this paper at the mini conference I went to last March. Pretty interesting stuff. Except that UCLA kind of helped prove this already last decade when they did an immunosuppression study on the Dobermans to prevent N onset. And it worked. That seems like proof enough that it's autoimmune. Now Stanford is getting into the nitty gritty mechanics of it, which is great. I just wish they wouldn't take all the credit for "discovering" it's an autoimmune disorder after I spent so much time and effort helping someone already do that. *sigh*
