R.E.M. Sleep Behavioral Disorder(RBD). I have it and it sucks.

RBD Link Here is not a common thing to be diagnosed with. It mainly affects males above the age of 50(which I am) and sucks for both the patient and anyone who might be sleeping in the bed with the patient.

The symptoms are just as described in the link, and I have them 4 to 5 times per week. Just last night I hopped out of bed and swung a full left hook into the wall(nothing broken). More common is talking coherently and swinging my arms or kicking my legs. These actions always revolve around my dream; each dream is different but contains the same premise. I am always defending myself or a loved one from imminent attack, and must respond physically.

What is ironic is that in my real life I have never attacked or hit anybody EVER, yet my dreams always involve just that. Treatment is not working for me(yet), and worse is that a large percentage of Parkinson sufferers have or had RBD, as well as ALS and Alzheimer patients.

Has anyone heard of this or been diagnosed with it? Or a sleeping partner that has it?
