The Gout & Uric Acid Education Society is committed to raising public awareness about gout and arming patients, like you, with resources to help you better understand gout diagnosis and treatment. As you may have seen in our previous newsletters, we have introduced a series of educational comics to help raise awareness about the severity of gout. This month's featured comic references the myth that only wealthy men are affected by gout.
For years, gout was referred to as a rich man's disease, or king's disease, and was believed to only affect the wealthy and overindulgent. Today, we know that is not true. Because there are many risk factors and health issues associated with gout, it can affect anyone at any time.
