The American Psychiatric Association says there's no evidence any treatment can change a gay person's sexual preference. The group says that's its official policy. The statement today came on heels of recent studies suggesting gays could change. Critics say those studies were sponsored by religious groups with a moral agenda. Now the first treatment ever for Restless Leg Syndrome, which affects 16 million Americans.
Sufferers say, especially at night, their legs twitch and feel numb.
A new study shows patients are significantly helped by a prescription drug called Ropinerol that should calmed down the twitching. A vitamin called niacin might slow down the aging process.
