I know its not cancer but FUCK big pharma for not curing Restless Leg Syndrome...FUCK!

If we could find a way to extract it (from me specifically, please!) And then inject it into others it would be an incredibly effective torture tool.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you really not see the piles of money you could be making by alleviating the suffering of millions? How is that even possible? Holy fucking Christ, get the fuck on it, Pfizer!

And now on top of that, I have an evil pinched nerve somewhere in my arm or nexk causing horrible pain in my hand and I can’t figure out what positions are triggering. I am miserably unrested and uncomfortable.

Interesting sidenote: my five month old pitbull puppy, being permitted on the bed tonight in hopes she might have a soothing effect, is completely unfazed and snoring contentedly without pause as I thrash around the bed for hours. However the instant I leave the bed she’s awake…mom? Where ya goin’?

To go hurt somebody, Zusje, go back to sleep…

Yeah, they haven’t cured diabetes either. Or Schizophrenia. Or MS. Or AIDS. Fuck them.

Well, they’re trying…but to do that they need more money.

If it weren’t for restless leg syndrome, I wouldn’t get any exercise at all.

:smiley:

I laughed at this, and I completely endorse Stoid’s pitting. As does my boyfriend, who I’m sure is tired of getting kicked in the middle of the night.

Why not pit everyone who hasn’t cured it? Fuck those lazy assholes.

X10!!

Dammit! MuthaFUCKAS!!!

Fucking piece of shit Justin Bieber hasn’t managed to solve Zimbabwe’s devastating fiscal crisis, either. I knew that Canadian bastard was up to no good.

I’ve suffered from RLS for years and, while it’s not a cure, I’ve found Tramadol to be a godsend as far as eliminating the symptoms.

Are you mad!? That would cost trillions!!!

5.38 in US money.

I see from wiki that there are a number of treatments for the condition, of uncertain effectiveness. Restless legs syndrome - Wikipedia

It sounds like an annoying condition. There are a number of diseases (eg eczema) that are not life threatening but are life altering.

That said, spare a moment of contemplation for the poor souls living in tropical countries that suffer from life threatening conditions that Big Pharma ignores because the market is too poor to buy their products. Or maybe effective treatments exist, but getting drugs that cost 20 cents per kid per year to the village is too complicated. eg Leishmaniasis, sleeping sickness, hookworm, schistosomiasis, etc.

I am not a big conspiracy theorist. In fact, I always made fun of them, but when it comes to Big Pharm I’m not so sure. There’s a pill for everything, and I feel like medications are quickly prescribed and over prescribed. I’m starting to believe they want people to be addicted and they also don’t want certain diseases cured. I’m not full blown, but I am starting to fashion my own tin foil hat…

Is this a joke? If not, I’ve learned something interesting…

Curing things that don’t involve a microorganism as the culprit is still beyond our science.

I dunno, stitches often work pretty well.

Heh. Fair enough. Casts, too, but all that does is allow your body to heal naturally.

Really? That’s very interesting news. I’ve recently been trying tonic water, as quinine is widely reputed to help. I can’t decide if it works or not. Sometimes it really seems to make a big difference very quickly, other times, nuthin.

I believe there are at least a few million cancer patients who would differ with you on this.

A small doze of diazepam works for me.
