Periodic Limb Movement Disorde
"I have had restless leg syndrome since I was at least 5 yrs old, it runs in my family. It affected my school, jobs, trips and sleeping. As I got older the symptoms became worse. By the age of 30 yrs old I could no longer sleep at night due to the energy build up in my legs and arms, my brain was also not shutting down at night. I dreaded going to bed for years.  My twin sister also has rest leg syndrome and her doctor put her on Klonopin, it worked for her. So I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription of Requip. It didn&#039;t work well. He switched my medication and I started taking Klonopin. The changes were immediate.  I slept for the first time all night.  I can take long drives, fly in airplanes and actually sit through a movie."
