Some would say that if you're having so few arousals from PLMS, they are not clinically significant; others would disagree.saltyk9 wrote: PLM Arousals - 10. 1.9 Index

Re: Apnea worse with CPAP
Yeah, with Mirapex manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim and Requip manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, I can see where she might.Periodic Limb Movements are Associated With Disturbed Sleep, Birgit Högl, M.D.. Department of Neurology, Sleep Disorders Centre, Innsbruck Medical University, Innsbruck, Austria
Dr. Hogl is on the speakers’ bureau for GlaxoSmithKline, Boehringer Ingelhiem, Cephalon, and Novartis; she is on the advisory board of GlaxoSmithKline, Boehringer Ingelhiem, Schwarz Pharma, and UCB.
A better reference might be the AASM Practice Parameter on PLMs and RLS from 2004 (also refer to 1999 for additional comments).
