Does anyone have Rythmic Movement Disorder?

I'm hoping to get to the bottom of why I have it. It's pretty awful really.

Could use a little guidance please ...

Hi,
How are you? Rhythmic Movement Disorder is a condition that presents with repetitive banging or rocking motions just before and during light sleep. Rhythmic humming or other sounds are sometimes made along together with the body motions. Body rocking, head banging and head rolling may be seen. This condition occurs primarily in infants and young children, but may also affect adults as well.  The condition may appear at an older age due to an injury to the central nervous system. Have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Take care and best regards.
