PLMD and venous insufficiency?
PLMD and venous insufficiency?
Anyone ever heard of a sufferer of PLMD (principally) finding any relief with varicose vein surgery? I have huge varicose veins that I have been told are only a cosmetic issue.

I haven't heard of vascular surgery helping PLMD.
As an aside, I had vascular surgery for leg veins and it did nothing for my RLS.

Is this RLS or PLMD (I know it applies to RLS sometimes). I am guessing there is no info on PLMD specifically and varicose veins.

I stopped trying to figure out anything about my PLMS long ago as they truly don't know anything. They don't study it, they just know a lot of people have it and most people aren't bothered all that much. Well, gee, whiz, what about those who are???? Clearly, we are not important in the scheme of research funding!
PLMD - a sleep disorder that occurs in the absence of ANY other sleep disorders - is truly an orphan. PLMS - movements in sleep that occur when people have other sleep disorders - isn't studied much more and is often considered that it will improve if the primary issue improves. No idea if that is really true...
