Again, Welcome to the forum!!

I know a couple of Kathy's from Smithton, but unsure if one would be your friend. RLS isn't a topic that is discussed much around here, sleep apnea gets alot more attention.

I know during my sleep study I had numerous limb movements, but no specific diagnosis of either PLMD or RLS. I never saw the sleep doctor, he just sent the stuff to my primary care doctor since she ordered the sleep test. She feels that I have at least one of the disorders and did prescribe meds for them. I never took the meds since I was unsure how they would make me feel and I am already taking meds for high blood pressure and allergies, plus hormone replacement.

I would be interested in any suggestions you may have.

I know I wear my sheets out near the bottom where my feet are. Even switching the sheets top to bottom (at the head of the bed one time and then after washing switching to the opposite end), they still wear out quickly. It has been suggested my my son-in-laws mother that it is due to the leg movements as her sister has RLS and wears hers out in a similar manner. My husband has complained I kick him at night, but since I am not awake, unaware of it.

I know a Kathy Page from Smithton. I haven't talked to her for a while so unsure if it is the same one. The one I know has a daughter named Kristy (unsure how they spell it since I have Kristy as well and this is how I spelled it). One of her daughter's (the older one did work at Griff's here in Sedalia).

Kay, thanks for the friend request. I can always use a friend on the forum. Hope the moving goes well, look forward to hearing from you when you have more time.
