Periodic Limb Movement Disorder while awake ?

Post by Hugh Jass » Fri Jan 28, 2005 11:24 am

Anyone suffer with PLMD while awake ?

During my sleep study, my index for this was 18 (per hour).

What's interesting is that although I twitched 70 times during my 4 hour sleep in the lab, it only produced 1 arousal.

I've been noticing lately, that all through the day I experience small muscle twitches all over the place.

Is this commom with OSA ?
Trying is the first step towards failure.
