I'm not even sure that RLS is a sleep disorder. Is it?

Is it? From what I can tell, when RLS occuress at night, it is called PLMD or PLMIS most of the time, but I have seen many people refer to the night time sleeping problem as RLS, this I also refer to it as this for clarity. I have again googled for hours looking at information on this disorder. From what I find, I know that this disorder is generally much more comon than people or doctors realize, as verified by sleep labs. I can not find much about the cause of this, other than some people say it is more pschylogical, but I think that refers more to the day time RLS than the PLMD. I read that there is a IORN deficency that can cause PLMD, but I know my IORN levels are good, so that is not a problem... Beyond this, I have not found any answers to my question... I have also not been able to find anyone or anything that tells me how much your might improve in terms of fatigue / pain if you are sleeping properly. I have tried several medications for PLMD, and none of them have seemed to worked well at all for me. I have seen several specialists in my area for the problem as well, at the major hospitals. So I guess I am trying to determin if this is something that could be causing a large problem for me or not, because my next step may be to go to a specialist in another city for a consultation or multiple consultations... j

I've been told that RLS is common in OSA patients, which was certainly true in my case. Since having a CPAP, I haven't been much bothered by it, unless I'm overly tires. It goes away again, though, once I've had a good night's sleep. |
