This is from last year, but I want y'all to see this research again-
Comorbidities Common in Narcolepsy
"We found that 27% of persons with narcolepsy had a mood disorder, 37% were taking an antidepressant — 3 times higher than the general population — and anxiety disorders were also prevalent,"
A high proportion of narcoleptic patients reported psychiatric disorders, especially major depressive disorder and social anxiety disorder, which affected nearly 20% of these individuals, Dr. Ohayon reported.
"In addition, 34% of narcoleptics were obese, and this was with matching for body mass index in the study, and they are more likely to have hypercholesterolemia and hypertension than the general population," Dr. Ohayon added.
He further noted that several comorbid conditions were autoimmune disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and allergies.
Five medical diseases were also more frequently observed among narcoleptic participants: hypercholesterolemia, digestive diseases, heart disease, upper respiratory tract disease, and hypertension. The highest odds ratios were for diseases of the digestive system, which were noted in 16.3% of the narcoleptic population vs 5.0% of the controls, a 3-times-increased risk (P < 0.001), and for upper respiratory tract diseases, which were noted for 27.5% and 10.9%, respectively, for an odds ratio of 2.5 (P < 0.001).
Here's the poster from the conference
Zoom in on the charts on the right side.
Please Note: They did not survey DENTAL disease.
We have Apnea like frakkin crazy. Look at that.
And stroke, kidney failure and heart failure have been documented to be caused by strep infections for over a century.
And all five of those are accelerated by Stimulant Drugs.
Here's what the lead researchers had to say about it-
"Dr. Ohayon concluded, "We don't know how to interpret these data. These are just facts, but we don't know what they mean."
"Frankly, we are scratching our heads. It is a big question mark," Black said.
Yep, it's a medical mystery how illness could cause these symptoms.
