Anyone else diagnosed with Restless Legs as well as the Apnea? My doctor said that I had really bad leg movements all night in addition to my high rate of apnea. He prescribed me gabapentin (Neurontin) to treat the legs, and a CPAP for the apnea.

Hi!! I have a question for you ll. I was reading about a woman who claims she needs a service dog for her sleep apnea. Most feel she is saying this as a way to take her pet onboard a cruise ship. Has anyone ever heard of this?
