RLS is something wrong with your lifestyle. The only people I have ever known to have this are seriously overweight. Has it spread to normal people now, too?
You have no idea what you're talking about. I've dealt with RLS my whole life. Is it debilitating? Certainly not. Is it really annoying? Absolutely. While I am currently a little overweight I haven't always been, yet I've always had this problem.

In short, show me your MD or PhD.

Were you abused as a child? Maybe it's something from your past life?

How about don't go to doctors that tell you what you want to hear?

I don't need an MD or PhD to decide that any disease I never heard of until I was 30 has less basis in medical fact than House.

Funny, if you search the web NONE of the valid medical sites list obesity as a cause or or even correlation to RLS.

Wow, so new discoveries can't happen in your lifetime?

I guess E. Coli doesn't exist either, huh? HIV must be a myth too, right?

BTW, the syptoms of RLS have been noted for centuries. Only lately did doctors start realizing that they are a distinct condition.

HIV is just fat people deciding to lower their T-cell count to gain sympathy from the medical community. These people just need to clean up their diets and get some good, all natural homeopathic AIDS cocktails.
