Wanting to Know
Posted: 03-16-08 11:37am

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?
