Rapid eye movement behaviour disorder

jruddy's sister [subject #530], a vs lifer, reported: "I must mention that the MRI I have had on my head had nothing to do with migraines but to do with REM Behaviour Disorder. I act out my dreams - something which is usually associated with men who suffer from dementia and an indication of the onset of Parkinson's disease. Fortunately for me, I've been acting out my dreams ever since I was old enough to stand up in my crib and thus the sleep specialists are a bit puzzled. Also, REM Behaviour Disorder is something that is associated with head trauma. Professional athletes will suffer from this. I've never had a severe head trauma that I am aware of so I don't fit the bill here either. Regardless, I just wanted to mention that although I had MRI's that came back clear - they were not for migraine study purposes. The REM Behaviour Disorder is not an issue in my life now that every night I take 0.5 mg of clonazepam. Also, since I've been taking clonazepam my migraines have lessoned considerably. Interesting side affect! The persistent aura in a dark room has not been affected in any way."

"I have had sporadic incidents of it [rapid eye movement behaviour disorder], but never enough to reach the clinically significant level. My grandmother does it too, also in times of high anxiety. We both started it as kids. The sleep neurologist said I was in the range of normal, and of course it never happened during one the sleep studies they did on me.

The center where I did my sleep study is actually where they discovered the disorder. There was a recent paper about how the behavior tends to happen more with threatening dreams. Pretty cool stuff, actually."
