When speaking with a co-worker today, and mentioning my RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) she started laughing hysterically ...
"What? You have THAT? Like the commercials??? People really have that??"

I'm glad she could laugh, recalling all those nights she and her husband watched the Requip commercials and thought no one could possible have those crazy symptoms. Me? Not laughing folks, as I sit here at the computer because I can not sit still in front of the TV anymore, getting up to pace around the room because it's a better alternative than cutting off my legs.
... and no, I don't take the medication. Why you ask? Something about the "may cause you to fall asleep or feel very sleepy during normal activities such as driving;" sort of scares me off.
So I'll keep the "Jumpin' Legs" as I have called them all my life (before doctors and Glaxo Smith Klein came up with a "syndrome" name, and try to stay awake while driving.
