PMDD? RLS? Are these diseases?

What are drug companies doing these days?

Since they can't cure important diseases (you know, like Cancer), they are making up diseases to cure. Seriously, Restless Leg Syndrome? It's nervous energy. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder? The commercial for YAZ sounds like a joke. Within a four-week cycle, women now have to deal with one week of PMS and one week of PMDD, so they only have two "normal" weeks per month.

The world also has a big pharma company trying to re-sell a drug, Celebrex, that is so safe that it has never been removed from the market, unlike its competition (Vioxx, for example).

I don't know about you, but I, for one, am quite thankful that we have Big Pharma looking out for use. I can't wait until they cure my GDTKFIOSH disorder.

(that's Genetic Desire To Knock Fists Instead Of Shake Hands, for you non-doctors out there.)
