Though I’ve never been diagnosed - Sometimes I feel like I have no legs - so I stomp, walk, slap them, whatever it takes to feel them because without movement or slapping them I can’t feel them at all. Thankfully it only happens ever so often for a few days at a time, then stops. I can usually tell when it’s going to happen and try to move around alot to keep it from hitting me too bad. My husband swears I have it in my sleep and has threatened getting twin beds. It’s a scary feeling, that’s for sure.

Interesting. I’ve never heard RLS or PLMD described this way, only that it feels like pins and needles or as if you have too much feeling or ‘energy’ in legs/arms, in which case you are forced to move or have uncontrolled movement. Do you have that too at times or just the numbness?

My legs will go numb when I walk for more than 15 minutes, but I’m told it’s an entirely different issue, perhaps spinal/poor circulation?
