A support group for parents who believe their children developed a chronic sleeping disorder after receiving the swine flu vaccine Pandemrix has said there are “a lot more” undiagnosed cases. Sound (Sufferers of Unique Narcolepsy Disorder) was launched at the weekend by parents whose children have been diagnosed with narcolepsy. The group aims to help parents to identify if their children are affected and to lobby the health authorities to support those already diagnosed. “We believe there are a lot more children in this country who are suffering from this condition who have not being diagnosed and parents are struggling to figure out what’s wrong with their children,” said chairwoman Mary Fitzpatrick, whose 14-year-old son was diagnosed with the sleeping disorder having received the vaccine almost two years ago. Maria Ashe, from Maynooth, Co Kildare, the mother of six-year-old Declan, who was diagnosed with incurabl e sleep disorder narcolepsy two weeks ago suspected to be caused by swine flu vaccine Pandemrix said: “It's changed him – we’ve been robbed of our little fellow, and of our family life.”
