Then there’s the new ailment: RLS. Restless let syndrome, developed by drugmakes to market a completely new “syndrome”. And no doubt there were and are, many takers.

Similar to “ADHD” which never actually existed as a condition until Novartas came up with Ritalin...then all of a sudden “ADD” became “ADHD” which coincidently had a much looser set of diagnosis guidelines...Hmmmmmmm...

Obviously you've never known anyone suffering from this very real affliction. The drug companies "created" this? Oh, fer crying out loud. That's about as legitimate as Karl Rove controlling the weather. Where you people come up with this crap.....

The name's new, not the ailment :)

And good ol' quinine tends to work pretty well for that. It's cheap and safe to use, too :)

How about ‘overactive bladder’. There is a drug, (Detrol), which apparently keeps you from having to go pee, according to the commercials. I think they came up with this one because it makes such a good commercial. People are shown missing out on walks on the beach, getting stern looks from the boss for taking too many breaks, etc. Take Detrol and never have to go pee again.
