My son was born at 28 weeks gestation and suffered a Grade II brain bleed which did resolve. At around 7 years of age we noticed that he cannot keep his right leg still. At 21, he seem unable to controlControl Control rx the constant up and down movement/shaking of his leg. He also has handHand or foot spasms Hand tremortremorsEssential tremor Familial tremor Hand tremor Tremor. He also has restlessRestless leg syndrome feet which causes him sleep disturbance. As his mother, I have had all these issues (with restlessRestless leg syndrome feet and handHand or foot spasms Hand tremor tremors) until I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 46 and was put on sleep medications. I know that these symptoms are hereditary, but I've been concerned that they could also be connected to his early neurological impairment. I don't want him to suffer with restless feet and hand tremors like I did and the accompany insomnia. What can I do short of having the doctor put him on sleep medications for the rest of his life? And, do you have any thoughts as to the primary cause of these conditions?
