A member asked:
Occasional kicking while dreaming. can it be anything else besides rem sleep disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, as a REM sleep disorder is a very specific prelude to Parkinson's Disease or Lewy Body Disease. More likely this represents occasional myoclonic jerks or Paroxysmal Limb Movements of Sleep. To uncover the answer, schedule an overnight sleep study.
