This is real and it can be devastatingly, miserably, uncomfortable, but many people can still work if they get anti-glare screens, anti-glare glasses, remember to blink and use eye drops every couple of hours.It can make driving fairly unsafe at times, though.
Restless leg is also very real. I have mild instances of both. They come and go. I have never sought a diagnosis and have just managed them on my own without meds, mainly because I just hate to take any medication. I work for myself and neither has ever kept me from working, but they are real conditions that can range from mild to severe.
While there are slackers who milk the system, it is difficult for me to believe someone would even try to survive on $2k-$8k year just out of laziness. Perhaps I am naive.
Actually lib, I had serious restless legs (along with some big time charlie horses) when I was younger. Was terribly hard to sleep. Drove me nuts. My mom suggested I drink tonic water and eat a banana before going to bed. The tonic water was for the quinine (help for restless legs) and the banana was for the chuck horses (potassium). Both worked like a charm...but I’m glad I outgrew the restless legs. Really drove me nuts.
