Thanks for the info. I'm beginning to think I have PLMD (instead of RLS) and the reason my legs hurt (throbbing and sore) all day long is from the constant moving around at night while I sleep. From a treatment stand point, as we've already said, there seems to be no difference... but my experience won't be helpful to anyone here (which I already suspected and is the reason why I've stopped posting lately).

Lets hope the new treatment helps you ookla. We are always here as you know, if and when you need us for any advise or support.

PLMD?????

Elisse, I cannot open this file. Do you have another way that i can find that particular information or do you have another comparison. I need it to help a small group of people that are wondering if they have one or the other or both. It's not a RLS group yet and I have no intentions of leading or starting up a group. I will give your name credit if you don't mind that I will do so.. I just happened to run into these women while playing an online game. They are sisters. lol.. Thanks. XX Karen
