I don't have gout myself, but I realize I may have passed unfair judgment on it in the past due to my own ignorance. After doing some research out of curiosity, I learned that gout has a genetic component, and you can live a healthy lifestyle—avoiding alcohol or trigger foods—and still experience it. It's also an extremely painful inflammatory condition, far more than just swelling or an issue of "poor self-care."

What do you wish more people understood about gout, so we can approach it with greater kindness and compassion?
