I get so tired of the "nobody'd ever heard of RLS until just a few years ago, but now because some drug company can make money, everybody has it!" argument. That's not to say that I don't think problems like this get over diagnosed after physicians and patients are suddenly inundated with a new possible answer to old problems, but that doesn't mean RLS isn't a real entity.

4. Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate still doesn't do shit except take your money.
5. Jonathan Cohn Jonathan Cohn Jonathan Cohn. I'm going to have to read his stupid book before I go nuts hearing something new about it three times a day. He sounds sensible enough on NPR.
