Troubleshooting Sleep Discomfort - Short version

I am here to ask you to help me troubleshoot a problem I am trying to solve as Carer for my Mum who survived a severe stroke just under six years ago.

She recently has problems sleeping in bed.

  • Problem only when she is sleeping in bed and usually after two or three hours
  • When in discomfort she does seem to look at her non-paralysed hand as if suggesting the discomfort is in the hand
  • It takes a long time, an hour or more to then make her comfortable again

This discomfort might be caused by Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) as her paralysed leg has got some mobility back and so she might be trying to move the leg (or legs) – but we don’t know for sure. Not sure if there is such a thing as Restless Arm Syndrome?

A more detailed/rambling version of this post can be found here.

Thank you in anticipation.
