Dear List: Several months ago I sent a message trying to describe in words this exasperating restlessness that seems internally generated and that keeps many of us moving in and out of bed at night, in and out of chairs, etc. I used the term "internal tremors" to describe what is clearly and technically called akathisia. This internal "tickling" or "antsiness" is impossible to describe to others who have not experienced it. It is always a frustrating and maddening experience that I have not yet learned to cope with... At this point, I eventually roll out of bed and get busy doing something. It affects me all over but primarily in the arms and legs. Jim Bill
