I do NOT think that Restless Legs Syndrome is "bogus"

It has come to my attention that I was quoted in this article regarding Restless Legs Syndrome:

Medical blogger Kevin Pho calls Restless Legs Syndrome “bogus” on his popular Web site (www.kevinmd.com), saying the label was created to sell drugs to people who don’t need them.

The source seems to come from this post, where you can clearly see I quoted another blog that made the claim.

I have contacted Aimee Heckel, the writer of the article for a correction.

For the record, Restless Legs Syndrome is most definitely real, although the pathology of primary idiopathic RLS is unknown. It can affect 5 to 15 percent of the population. There are a variety of treatment options, all of which should be discussed with your personal physician.
