Periodic Limb Movement Disorder

Hi Vikkitennis,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I’m in Australia and currently seeing the Sleep clinic at the Flinders University here in South Australia. It’s slow going and a bit frustrating I’ll admit but I’m retired now and am steadily expanding my knowledge more on line and by getting different medical checks and seeing different specialists. I’ve known something wasn’t right about my sleep for a long time, but I had no obvious signs and no RLS. I just knew I shouldn’t feel so drained every day.
Also I never dream anymore like when I was younger ( when I would wake near a REM phase and recall the dream). My deep sleep is impacted and that’s what I’m hoping to improve once I start some meds under guidance of my sleep doctor. I’m yet to be impressed by either of the sleep doctors I’ve seen though.
Thanks again

I wish you the best to find this journey and find relief.
The tablet buprenorphine has been the best prescribed to me, yet the dry mouth during the night is a problem. I use a dry mouth solution, and rinse during the night.
I continue to wake during the night, but always return to sleep within minutes.
