Thanks, Sue
I wasn't getting good rest at night so I went in for a sleep study,...I was thinking maybe I had apnea or something like that. They said my legs twitched and jerked all night long disturbing my sleep. Of course I didn't really know this because I thought I was sleeping but the leg jerking kept me from entering deep sleep,...I never felt rested. My wife told me that sometimes I run in my sleep if that makes sense, complete with leg movement. Needless to say we usually don't sleep in the same bed. Long story short they gave me a little white pill I take before bedtime each night and it settles the legs somehow, allowing me to sleep better. They say it's a medication that is used for early stage Parkinsons. How weird is that?
