41 year old male.
I have sleep apnea, gout and psoriasis. The gout and psoriasis are usually in my right ankle and right big toe.
They are all related to being overweight. I've always had a challenge with my weight but in recent years my weight had ballooned to 270 pounds. Not bad if you're 6'5, but I'm 5'8".
It's a vicious cycle. Overweight = greater chance of sleep apnea, gout and psoriasis. Sleep apnea = a body in "crisis mode" which means holding onto every fat cell it can 'just in case'. Evolution is a bitch sometimes. Sleep apnea = tired, no desire to exercise = slow metabolism = fat = vicious cycle. Overweight = greater chance of gout and psoriasis. Life sucks at this point. Tired, grossly fat, a nasty skin rash and extremely painful right ankle from time to time = depression and life sucks.
I was treated for sleep apnea and now use a CPAP (Continous Positive Air Pressure) machine. Works great, but a CPAP treats the symptom not the dis-ease. I'm working out, losing weight and feeling much better. ACV wraps and ACV/honey/water are helping with the gout and psoriasis.
Goal is to maintain a healthy weight (about 180 pounds) and I'm well on my way.

The FDA is run by crooks from big pharma and they don't mind approving unsafe medications that harm and kill tens of thousands of people every year. Yet
