Yesterday, Paul commented about his gout, and suggested possible causes. One cause of gout that he didn’t mention is sleep apnea.
You may have heard of sleep apnea. Burton Abrams has commented about sleep apnea and gout, and there is a discussion about sleep apnea in my gout forum. [2008 update - old forum lost. If you want more on this topic, please start a new discussion in the gout forum]
Burt has recently published a book about the perils of sleep apnea, which not only looks at gout, but also other health effects.

read the post. the problem with sleep apnea, along with the people who have them, is that they are often taken for granted. people often neglect the symptoms and sleep apnea until worse comes to worst. thanks for the links, they are very informative.
Mine rears up every two months and I do not know why ??
Sleep apnea, gout, or both?
Maybe better to discuss it in the gout forum, with more information.
