>>>I get that from time to time, but that's no problem whatsoever. I wonder whether it merits a name at all, not to mention funds for the research. Feels a bit annoying sometimes, as it makes me get to sleep few minutes later than I would otherwise. A syndrome? It's a twitch, just like you get on an eyelid, comes and goes and no worry at all. Yet they want to cure that, and from what I read of the ingredients on the drug (if I remember correctly), the side effects are worse than the supposed disease.

>>That does not make sense Dragan, the fact that you have mild symptoms does not make it any better for people that have severe ones, so why wouldn't it merit funds for research or medicine? From Wikipedia "It is a "spectrum" disease with some people experiencing only a minor annoyance and others experiencing major disruption of sleep and significant impairments in quality of life." Unfortunately, I am in the latter case :(

>Sorry to hear that. I guess I am guilty right along with Dragan (at least it's good company) of extrapolating from my own symptoms.
