More drugs, less sleep and some raw data

So I had my doctor's appointment yesterday. The Wigglometers confirmed that I have restless legs syndrome. Well, not really that. But they confirmed periodic limb movements, which most RLS people have.
That was a surprise to me -- I didn't realize I was moving during the night. During a 10-minute episode, I would have 15 or so spikes in movement, spaced fairly evenly.
That, I guess, was what they were looking for. The Wigglometers were smarter than I thought. They measured when I was upright and when I was horizontal. Fairly interesting.
Today, it's back to the sleep-deprived world, somehow. I blame Mirapex. I figured I could stay on Eastern time, even setting my alarm for 7 a.m. instead of 7:30. But then I upped my dosage to .25 mg.
Taking the full pill was not so fun. There was the initial jitters, then the good period that nonetheless makes me conclude I won't be sleeping downstairs. Then there's the waking up in the middle of the night part, with heat and chills and an unwanted erection that doesn't go away and a general weird medicated feeling.
Let's hope that goes away after my system adjusts. Dr. Sleep said that 1 to 2 mg is the dose that most people respond to. I can't imagine taking 4 to 8 times this amount if it's going to be like this.
