PLM Does wake me up totally

[Guest guest]

I do wake up from time to time through night from PLM leg movements. And

my sleep apnea's were considered mild compared to the average person

with sleep apnea's and really only a real problem when I slept on my

back which I rarely do. Only sleep on back part way during sleep study

because it was more comfortable with all that stuff hooked up to me. And

the neurologist thought after testing. That my PLM was my major problem

of sleep disturbance. So here I am a real person in the flesh with a

neurologist report telling you different from this bit of information

from an unknown source. Jeanie Stout

s note

Also, while PLMS-patients are not " totally " awakened by the leg

movements, it

DOES disturb their quality of sleep and suffer from the same daytime

symptoms

as RLS patients - fatigue, tiredness, falling asleep, etc.

And most of all, PLMS many times reflect sleep obstructive apnea that

can

kill you and cause significant morbidity, e.g. hypertension, stroke,

heart

attack, etc.
