Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)

Anyone have any information or experience with Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)? I’ve seen the symptoms in my 5yr old a couple of times throughout her short life. I’ll make a doctors appointment but looking for any information or experiences.

My son was tested for it in his many sleep studies.
Most people’s limbs will move involuntarily from time to time but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have periodic limb disorder. It has to rise ti a certain level and cause sleep disturbances.
Sleep studies can be tricky in children. Trying to sleep with wires attached all over you etc. but that’s what your daughter will need if you think she has a sleep disorder.
