Renee: I have REM SBD and its no fun at all. I do all the things your friends does. I have even gotten a gun and tried to shoot someone I thought was in the room with me. Have hurt my husband, fallen out of bed after someone, broken my night table, lamps and even a window. Thought it was from a stressful job. But after retirement, its still going on. Have been to a sleep clinic and no help. A neurologist has me on Clonazapam and Sinemet. Helps a little but still recurring. In truth, they don't know what causes it and there is no cure as yet. They tell me it is neuro transmitter related. The drugs I mentioned are for Parkinson's Disease to calm your muscles so you won't be able to move as much in your sleep. Don't help me much. Would like to hear more from you. I'm a woman and I beat my husband sometimes. I can't hurt him much, but I can only imagine what you are going through because your finance is a male who can really hurt you! He won't mean to, of course. Have lots of info if you are interested in writing me through e-mail. Good luck to your both. Sally
