My husband has PTSD from Viet Nam.
Nightmares, crying in sleep, also had
sleep apnea, Surgery not completely
successful on SA, then put on CPAP machine
to which he cannot use. Cannot stand
anything over his face etc. He has
jerking which has been diagnosed as
Restless Limb, but appears not to be that
al together. Ther jerking is terrible and
seems to be like a nerve problem instead
of a nervous problem. They gave him
medication which has helped the restless
leg, but not the jerking. Lately he has
been really whining and crying in his
sleep and it is continuous--liike he is
dreaming continuously and the dreams do
not last for seconds, but hours on end.
Took films of this jerking to a private
doctor who said he needed a neurologist
and brain test. Could this jerking be
Agent Orange related?
