Atually even b4 these symptoms and think I was developing RLS, now it is quite obvious. I am considering getting Flora-Dopa Pet Scan, the suspence is killing me (literally)!!

yes definitely. i had fluctuations under the skin the felt llke little muscle spasms but not p ainful. Since i now have a very noticeable internal tremor that shows up on EKGs and looking back, i had to wear a heart monitor a few times pre-disgnosis that didn't reallly tell anything. One night i had chest pains badly enough to actually call the fire department - with 911 they get there first. They could get no readings- everything shaky. this was later after diagnosis.

i think it could have been an early symptom but not verified, just makes sense based on looking back.

i have had several irregular EKGs that don't amount to much yet.

i can feel an internal tremor under my chin.

good luck,
paula
