Welcome

I hope these pages will be useful to anyone looking for sleep disorders information especially about PLMD.

My husband was finally diagnosed and began treatment for this sleep disorder, after years of symptoms which mostly affected only me!

We should have had something done sooner! Had we tried more doctors, more often, we probably would have found help a lot faster.

But there were so many other things going on in our lives, that we just 'put up' with the problem, until we couldn't go on any longer without some medical help.

This site was created as the result of that experience.

Note: Any information you read here or elsewhere on the web should not replace your doctor's advice and treatment.

Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) is also known as Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep (PLMS)

A search today for PLMD yielded about 505,000 results, while a search for PLMS returned about 500,000 results

Of course, some results have nothing to do with sleep disorders, but overall it would seem that both terms are widely used.
