Of course I have … Of course I have alot of free time; I’m a comedian. I support any activity that alleviates suffering for all beings. I do not support measures based on fear and paranoia that claim to be helping people as guise to put money in the pockets of corporate America. Medical marijuana has been proven to alleviate all sorts of conditions from glaucoma to breakthrough cancer medication with little to no side-effects. However, marijuana is criminalized in order to force people to use big-government drugs.
You show how much … You show how much humor you have. I’m not saying this video isn’t funny because I have the problem. It’s just unfunny in general man. I’m glad that posting a video about RLS made you do all this research on it supposidly. You must have a lot of time on your hands.
I guess when people have diarrhea, and spastic colons, you’d just want them to each cheese to comsptipate themselves. If a pill can help the a person quality of life why does it matter?
Just because it can … Just because it can be a result of iron deficiency doesn’t mean that’s the only reason man. If giving a person a pill can stop the sleeplessness, torture, and better the quality of life… then is it such a big deal?
I guess you’d just rather them try eating large amounts of iron instead. There are a lot of home-remedies that may help. I hope one day you need medication but the doctor tells you to go eat some vegetables and grains.
Well, Captain … Well, Captain Exclamation-Point, as long as the constitution guarantees free speech, I’ll speak about whatever I want to. That being said, anyone who reads this conversation can see who has, or has not, done their research. This country is never going to move forward until we stop trying to cure SYMPTOMS and start curing CAUSES. These pills give people a simple cure for a simple problem, creating a nation of simple minds. RLS, in many cases, is a symptom of one of the aforementioned conditions.
I guess millions of … I guess millions of people isn’t “conclusive proof” by any means. I agree that Americans do want a pill to fix everything.
Restless Leg Syndrome may sound like it’s nothing and is utterly ridiculous. It did to me at first before I got the condition as well. Then I started feeling like insects were crawling inside my legs and it’s the most insanely annoying, torture. I’d rather have a real pain that the odd tortuous creepy-crawling sensations.
There is still no … There is still no conclusive proof the Restless Leg Syndrome is an isolated condition and not a symptom of a larger underlying condition such as Parkinson’s disease, Thyroid diesease, sleep apnea, or diabetes. It is most commonly ociated with Iron defiancy and can be treated as easily. MIRAPEX was originally developed as a Parkinson’s medication, but there is far more money in treating “Restless Leg Syndrome” because Americans want a pill to fix everything.
Well — actually, … Well — actually, the syndrome has been around for ever but doctors as well as those who have the syndrome didn’t know they had it. Why? You ask? Because there was no name or medications out for it until recently. Then people thought to themselves “I guess I’m not crazy and that my problem is an actual medical condition”, so the increase slowly became evident as the problem was recognized.
“I want to think you from pulling yourself away from the craps table” - Mike Aaron is the joke here. lol
Um, i don’t really … Um, i don’t really know what a being a runner has to do with anything, but whatever. Next, yes, it is probably over diagnosed now a days. I myself actually have it, and can’t control it at all - the movements are all involuntary. And maybe you don’t realize it, but i at least feel that by calling RLS “fidgety legs,” you are making fun of the syndrome, and incorrectly at that… I’ll be the first one to admit that the syndrome has a silly name to begin with, so this isn’t helping.
First of all, I … First of all, I want to thank you for pulling yourself away from the craps table, and to address the irony of a runner having Restless Leg Syndrome. Next, I need to point out that before the RLS commercials, it occured in less than .05% of the population; but now, statistically in more than 15%. Finally, I’m not even making fun of the syndrome, I’m making fun of a medication with side effects that include “intense gambling urges.”
Hm. It’s 2 in the … Hm. It’s 2 in the morning. i’m not even gonna try and go to sleep for at least another hour. Why, you ask? cause RLS has helped me in developing a serious case of sleep onset insomnia. it’s great. really funny. i joke about it all the time. i bet if people called it nocturnal myoclonus people wouldn’t make fun of it. Is it over advertised? sure, okay. but it’s a serious problem. certainly not “fake”. hole.

This is such a unfunny video to begin with.
