Good For What Ails YaThere certainly are a lot of ailments to think about these days. My favorite is Restless Leg Syndrome. Those poor people with animated push-pins and ants in their legs! You should go to the doctor if you've that's happening I suppose. Then there's that thing that opens up someone's toenail and climbs in... that looks distressing too. There are lots of pills to for your depression. Of course they say to ease up if you start wanting to kill yourself (probably good advice in most circumstances). There are lots of pills to give you a boner... one that got me a woman would be much more useful at this point though, so I can save my money on that one. Associated with all of them is a long list of side effects that sound as bad or worse than the original malady... which they use various clever but transparent techniques to cheerfully communicate.
The list could go on and on. I just wonder how people ever got this far without all of these medications. Were they aware that all of this Computer Generated animation was lurking around every corner, waiting to make their lives unbearable? And since when is it your responsibility to tell the doctor that you have ants crawling around inside your leg... unless you're in the drunk tank with the DTs! Don't they go to school so they can tell you what pills you should be gulping down? Oh well, take two and call me in the morning.

Not sure if you recognize how real restless legs syndrome is (RLS). My husband is a medical student at the presitigous Mayo Clinic where they receive an entire lecture on it. It is one of the LEADING sleep disorders, and very far from a joke.
I also work for the NONPROFIT organization helping people deal with this disorder that leaves them sleeping so little each night that many people are suicidal.
