Recent years developed periodic limb movement disorder

Posted By Rob (Manhattan, New York) on 11/03/2009

In recent years I have developed Periodic Limb Movement. I am constantly moving my ankles & toes while sleeping. I attributed it to stress or worry & was surprised to learn it is a recognized condition. I would appreciate any remedies people have come across for it... Yoga didn't seem to help. I believe the movement has a direct soothing effect or is the result of worried thoughts...similar to rocking in a chair.

I have Periodic Limb Movement. I often wake myself up in the night with my arm crashing into my bed stand or my leg jerking up into the air. Sometimes my stomach area jerks too. Does anyone know what to do about this?

A supplement containing Minerals with Glucosamine and MSM helped me tremendously. It also helped the fibro fog.

Which supplement with MSM and glucosamine? How much did you take? I have tried several medications and nearly every supplement you can imagine. I need help to resolve this plmd! Please provide any details possible.
