Well, here I am again, wide awake at 2:30 am because my foot won't stop twitching. Has anybody out there heard of RLS (restless leg syndrome)? Check out this article which says in part: Only one other name would more precisely characterize RLS, and that's "creepy-crawly syndrome." Most victims resort to "creepy-crawly" to describe the sensation in their legs that forces them to move while sitting in the theater, an airplane seat, a car, or (worst of all) lying in bed and trying to sleep. (Other words used to describe RLS include prickly, jittery, like ants crawling inside, pulling, tingling, and, occasionally, painful.)

At first I thought this was a result of my bad circulation from HCM, but it looks like it may not be related at all. I intend to get more info when I'm at the NIH next month, but I'm curious if there's any link between HCM and RLS.

I had it both times I was pregnant. I hate the feeling and sympathize with you greatly. I think one of my friends at work had it and she got a prescription from the doctor that seemed to help. I don't know if it would work for you or even be o.k. because of the hcm, but at least you could ask.
Good luck,
