Thank you, yes I do feel urge to move when i get these sensations losing sleep because of this and worries me most, as it makes me so tired during the day that im often irritable and sleepy.

Change your doctor I suggest a younger one, they seem to be more 'up' on the problem & treatment. I take amitriptyline works for me, but I don't get it in the day just some pain. Same as you I can sleep through mostly. Good Luck, Kind regards, Fidgit.
