I actually was glad to find out what the problem was and that there was a cure or treatment that did not involve pills. I was going crazy cause i was so exhausted and i gained 90lbs eating to keep going at work b4 i found out abt my sleep problem. Perhaps u are stressed in part because of your sleep...

I was just started on Mirzpex for limb movements yesterday, took it last night and it did seem to help, but i was just reading some posts talking about a TENS unit doing the same thing or working better? I never had heard about this. Does the TENS help with the limb movement or something else?? I wo...

I think it was just confusing to me because i am using an apap machine so i thought there would be adjustments to the pressure, within the range that is set. Have u tried breathing deeply, taking rapi...

LinkC - thanks for your response. Still new & trying to find my way around the site. I hit reply so hopefully this will work.
