Thoughts
1. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and PLMD are considered to be related sleep disorders. RLS is frequently treated with the same medications (Pergolide, Permax) as PLMD.
2. Many sources state that PLMD is more common in people 65 and older and seldom ever occurs in those under the age of 30. My husband began to develop PLMD symptoms when he was 28 years old, although it worsened over many years before it was finally diagnosed.

4. Some people who are hypothyroid apparently may also have sleep apnea. If you are hypothyroid, and suffer from tiredness and lack of energy, you may wish to talk about this with your doctor.

I don't approve of alternative medicine.
