Narcolepsy

Vaccines can cause nerve damage which can inhibit brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. This condition is called narcolepsy.  The symptoms of narcolepsy include:

  • excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
  • sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone
  • vivid hallucinations during sleep onset or upon awakening
  • brief episodes of total paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep.

Narcolepsy is not definitively diagnosed in most patients until 10 to 15 years after the first symptoms appear.

If you or a loved one developed nerve damage after receiving a vaccination please contact our vaccine injury lawyers at 1-800-810-3457 or Get Help Now!
