I've known a few jerks who make me want to kick them
but fasciculations (sp?) (twitching & jerking) are common
to many of us, as a s/e of PN.
It is not enough symptoms to have full-blownRLS tho.
I get the leg twitches when I'm in a half sleep just before nodding off,
or when I'm relaxed and feet are elevated in my recliner, watching TV.
I also get some twitching & intense burning of the soles (pads) of my feet,
when I get into bed some nites.
Then I rub in a menthol creme(Icy Hot) and put a fan on low speed,
off the foot of my bed, to allow me to get to sleep.
