Do you have trouble sleeping or relaxing at the end of a long day?

Try picking up the Bible and reading... the devil will put you to sleep so fast you won't believe it.

Have you considered trying a homeopathic approach vs. the good old "take this pharmaceutical pill"?? Melatonin will help induce and prolong periods of sleep. You can also try CBD gummies. It comes from the hemp/marijuana plant but DOES NOT have the THC (get you high/pop on a urinalysis) component. They can be bought over the counter, no prescription needed. They have helped me with sleep, chronic pain, and aggression. Good Luck, I hope you take my advice and have success. This beats taking all the pharmaceuticals the VA loves putting us on.

I listed this condition when I first signed up for disabled vet benefits, they said there was no history of problems with this condition in my recored,,,, Huh? turns out I have sleep apneaha (???) and they said its not "service connected" OK i'm 70% disabled so they give me all the products I need for my condition, (Huh?) fine! I really don't care! I guess its all about the money, which does not matter to me! I guess maybe it should.

I had deviated septum correct but also have restless leg. I have never been treated. Also have a paralyzed diagram so only one lung functions. VA doctors tell me that I must live with condition, no fix.

LCDR Michael Pumilia - Jerking off/masturbation. Of course female warriors can.

Sgt Michael Ray - Hog wash. Tell the VA docs to get off their duff and do some real medical work. Restless leg can have many causes. From nerve issues in the spine to vitamin deficiencies. Considering you have the diaphram issue, there's certainly nerve issues. Are you on cymbalta (generic is duloxetine)? Be your own detective. National Istitutes of Health is good place to get info on the internet. Don't give up until you have exhausted all possibilities. And don't let the VA give up either. They work for us.

LT Col Might ask your Dr to do a sleep study. I too wake often and use a cpap. My sleep study showed me that i had PLMD Periodic Leg Movement Disorder. There are medicines to treat PLMD. I now sleep much better and feel more rested.

You might also want to check into a Mandibular Repositioning Device. I work with a doctor who specializes in treatment of sleep apnea and found several patients benefit using the mouthpiece device and have better sleep quality with less arousal periods during their sleep cycles.

Have the docs check for nose and throat problems. I had to have 4 small surgeries to fix mine. One was a deviated septum from a punch nearly 4 decades earlier.

MCPON Donald Laurin - Could be restless leg syndrome. You would need to see a Dr. and be tested.
