What's weird is he's had this fidgety uncomfortable annoyance for a while now but it wasn't affecting his sleep too much. It seems to be getting worse and we recently found out his dad also has this.
Also the snoring.. the two combined... I'm about to jump off a bridge! We severely need help before everyone has a total breakdown from exhaustion.
He's having this unrestful type of snorning which immediately jerks him awake, and triggers the leg squirming real bad.. then just cycles like that every single minute all night long.
Anyone have this? Are the two worsening each other? Is there anything in the universe that can be done? I'll pay whatever amount of money.. I'll do anything. I don't want to have to sleep in seperate rooms.
It's horribly sad to watch him too cuz even though he's sleeping more than I am, he's not getting even close to the rest that he should be and he's totally wiped out.

Red, I have restless leg syndrome as well and sadly girl, there is no cure. It's a synapse thing in the brain. I hate it. I feel like I'm going to jump out of my fucking skin when I get it and after 30 mins of it I just get up and stay up half the night until I forget about it. The best a person can do is do a shit load of walking before the night is near and tire the leg muscles and exhaust the brain. Also.. if at any time a person thinks about their affliction it will immediately start happening. The best way is to somehow distract him from thinking about it.. tv or music to fall asleep to is a good start.
