covid revelations: I have arthritis (I feel old) and I have gout (I feel old-fashioned!)
Gout is apparently making a comeback. Perhaps you are trending.
Oh dear, not gout! Can that be fixed with diet?
Oh, I’m a better living through chemicals person from way back! Started an Rx a couple days ago that should eventually prevent flares.
We have drugs for those now! Another reason to appreciate the modern world. We are all in better shape than past kings and queens!
