@tngirl103 I understand your husband's reluctance to seek medical help at this time - denial is a major factor for all of us. However, it is often a challenge to find a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders (PD, MSA, etc.) - so the earlier you start your search the better your chance is of being seen in a timely manner before some event prompts urgent assessment. REM sleep behavior alone has a 80-90 % chance of progressing to a neurodegenerative disease. Good luck and you are not alone.
