I am looking for others who suffer from PLMD (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder). I have PLMD, and have had it for about 10 years. I never knew it was a 'real' condition, in other words, I thought it was just something I did. What do I do? During the night I will rythmically raise my arm, and drop it, suddenly. My husband, who can sleep through ANYTHING is awakened by the dropping of my arm. He says he has wondered that I continue to sleep through this slow raising and sudden dropping of my arm. I would like to know what causes this and more importantly, what I can do to stop it. I am very tired during the daytime, I suspect the arm raising and dropping is keeping me from sleeping well. My husband's sleep is disturbed as well.
