Guest guest Posted November 24, 1998 Report Share Posted November 24, 1998 I suggest you go to: http://www.rls.org> http://www.wemove.org> http://www.mhsource.com/edu/psytimes/p980614.html> http://www.mhsource.com/edu/psytimes/p980716.html> After reading the information at these sites, you will know as much, if not more, than your doc. Then come back and ask what you don't understand. It's a lot easier for me to refer you to these excellent references than to spend an hour typing the answers to your questions.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 1998 Report Share Posted November 25, 1998 , The difference between the 2 are is RLS occurs during wake hrs. Around 80% of RLS suffers suffer PLMD,that occurs when u finaly get to sleep & movement continues as u sleep in turn interferes with restoritive sleep. When I do get say 12 hrs sleep, actually it like I am only getting 3 hrs of sleep to an average persons sleep pattern. That is what a sleep lab was able to uncover. That info was also helpful in demonstrating to SS of the disabilitating effect the severity of my situation Ray 40 Pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
