This is cool. =PStarting this month, Consumer Reports is introducing an entertaining new online video series that will track and report on such ads. The videos are hosted by Associate Editor, Jamie Hirsh, and produced by the ConsumerReports TV News crew. This first installment concerns an interesting class of medications that are approved to treat something called "restless leg syndrome." That condition may sound fanciful, but it's a real problem. Something like 3 percent of Americans suffer from RLS, which is characterized by an uncontrollable impulse to keep moving your legs even when you are trying to go to sleep—which obviously could make sleep difficult.Read original article here http://blogs.consumerreports.org/health/2007/11/finally-an-anti.html

Oct 12, 2008 - Glad to see Consumer Reports doing something. Because after their reviews and specifications on computers, digital cameras, stereo equipment and statements about technology in general (like the claims about CD copying) i think it's best that they stick to pharmaceutical adbusting. :-)

Oct 12, 2008 - 3% sounds like an over-estimate. That's a huge chunk of the population. Even 0.03 percent is enough. I have RLS and use Bi-Sifrol and Mirapex successfully.

longlivethe80s Says:

pmd456 Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - Some PSA announcement..Nice HIT JOB, prissy little snot. There's a company who designed a boot/device people can wear to feel what RLS can be like. Why don't you do a REAL PSA and videotape your sweet little prissy self strapping it on and NOT taking it off for 24 hours.Now THAT is irony I can laugh at.
GSHos Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - andre, it's easy to balk at a problem you do not have. If only you could (try) and sleep for a week in my shoes with RLS. Requip and Mirapex are miracle drugs which helps those with RLS. Show me any drug that has no side effects and I'll show you Heaven. I take Mirapex which is similar to Requip and I don't have any side effects. Please research before typing. Thank you.

Oct 12, 2008 - She's blonde and a ditz. Anyone wanna walk a mile in my shoes for a month? 24/7/365 RLS is something so torturous I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy, let alone a ditzy blonde who desperately wants to look like she knows a bit about what she's saying, but in reatlity, has no idea. She needs to find another day job. RLS is debilitating, life altering and life torturing, not just for us who have it, but for our family & friends. No, Requip aint the answer. I gave it the flick after 6mths!
AikenGhoti Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - Yeah, that's right, the pharmaceutical companies somehow managed to make my right leg and right arm feel like electricity was flowing through them... two years before I saw a Requip commercial. And, even though I've never taken Requip, they've somehow made it slowly progress for the three years since. I guess they figure if they keep making me worse, sooner or later I'll give in and try their drug.Not.The stark ignorance of this PSA is shameful.
