does anyone remember the specific term of a form of parasomnia that mainly effects men. it does not include sleepwaking but does include 'violent' episodes during sleep with kicking & fighting...alot of sleeptalking etc. please do not sound liked an uninformed physician and call it RLS. it is best controlled by clonezepam. there is one leader in the field at john hopkins but he could be somewhere else in northeast of US. he IS the expert in this particular disorder. there was a women MD/PhD on the research channel discussing aging & sleep disorders. she called the disorder by its specific designation but since i was reading a journal and on the computer at the same time i missed the term. unfortunately i can only do 2 things at once and have a bruised rear from self-kicking myself for missing the terminology. you may injure your relationship with your physician when you correct them or oyherwise let them know current findings. the way to avoid this is say," i know that it is difficult Thankfully the Southern Medical Journal has recently set up a new bulletin for physicians/members only that keeps them up-to-date with all current clinical findings & info in the form of a newsletter. never cease a medication or direction unless you first inform your physician. ddd ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
