Has anything actually reduced the limb movements at night for you? Please share what helped, since PLMD advice is thin on the ground.

If you've had a sleep study for limb movements, what did it actually tell you, and did it change your treatment? Please share how useful the study was in your case.

Do you have PLMD, RLS, or both? The two get tangled together a lot, and I'd like to understand how people here experience the difference.

For those with periodic limb movement disorder specifically: how did you find out, a sleep study, a partner noticing the kicking, something else? PLMD gets talked about far less than RLS, and I'd like this group to have a place to start.

For people whose partner noticed the movements before they did: how did that conversation go? Sometimes the person kicking has no idea it's happening.

For anyone diagnosed with PLMD: how did you figure out it wasn't just RLS? A sleep study, a partner noticing kicking at night, something else? The line between the two can be blurry from the outside.
