What is the "Disease of Kings"? | Quizzland Trivia Answers

Beck Hojo

It has nothing to do with weight. My husband has chronic gout and has never been obese in his entire life. It is hereditary most often. Every person who has gout also have very different triggers, and it is not always in the big toe!

Beck Hojo, you are so right.. My brother suffer gout and he's skinny and doesn't drink at all.

LibraLady1010

I got this question right (on a lucky guess) but I thought Hemiphilia was the disease of kings.

AnonymousDog10027

Beck Hojo, it said that chances are greater of getting it are INCREASED in overweight people not that being overweight CAUSES it.

KTSketti

Beck Hojo, you don't have to be overweight to have gout, but being overweight certainly increases your chances

Sherri

I was very obese in 2012 and was in the hospital for 5 days because of Gout. It is very painful. I had Bariatric surgery the following year and lost nearly 100 lbs; no more Gout.

Beck Hojo, with all due respect, it doesn't mean that everyone who gets gout is obese or a drinker... Read the second part, he must have too much uric acid for some reason. My dad has it, he is a heavy drinker... But I'm sure the next person won't be a drinker/obese... But they are things that trigger gout.

Dorbus

Beck Hojo, it states your chances are higher if you are obese.

Tami Hoover

Beck Hojo, it does explain other reasons, not all people who are recipients of Gout are overwieght it is a cause for some.

The condition can be hereditary or dietary or both and in most cases can be controlled by diet. Weight is not a cause in itself. Please don't judge each other.

I suffer from gout and am NOT overweight.

Range

Beck Hojo, I didn't know that 😳

jojo

I also had it back when I was consuming lots of shellfish & drinking. But it started in my right elbow, and was very painful for a couple of months. Then, overnight, it left my right elbow & started in my left elbow! After that, I went to a doctor & he put me on high doses of prednisone. Well, that's another bad story... Yuck! That was all the way back in 1997. I don't drink anymore, & don't eat as much shellfish, so haven't had gout for well over 20 years, now.

Beck Hojo, I got it in my 30s. doctor said it was from wearing hand me down shoes, as my wide foot was shoved into my sisters narrow shoes

Artie

I learned about it when my Dad contracted it in old age. It was agonizing and debilitating for him.

Martica

My nephew does not drink alcohol or is obese he is 42 . It is also hereditary his maternal grandfather and his mother has it. But he has it very severe

Artie

my father had gout he really suffered with it, so I cut way back on my red meat consumption and next meat in general

sharebear

Beck Hojo, yep, I saw it in skinny people. very painful and they never drank a day in their life.

Biological/Mojo

Player #1489627, Derr. green pea & ham it states from build of red meat seafood meats of all

milu

Beck Hojo, obrsity isn't thevonly cause like mentioned . white drinks and meat and carbs are also bad

Player #130575944

Beck Hojo, I think it means being overweight increases the chance of getting it, not that you have to be overweight to get it

joey

I have gout in my big toe it's very painful

Moonbaby

Player #9952194, It’s generally inherited from the mother.

LibraLady1010, I thought so too, to the point where I couldn't move hemophilia out of my brain to even think about a guess!

MsB

I thought the disease of kings was the one where they could not stop bleeding, like the son of Nicolas and Alexandria in Russia. I can’t remember the name of the disease.

Robin

recently found out it can also be caused by iron infusions too

Player #130998363

Good for you Sherry

lynnie

LibraLady1010, I think that Queen Victoria or Albert was the carrier of the Hemiphilla gene, so some of her descendants may have had it including The young Russian prince. Her children married into a lot of European Royal families.....😁

Frank Dukes

Beck Hojo, Correct, I get gout attacks and can't pin point what triggers it because i try keep to the same diet, My last attack 2 weeks ago i took the tablets prescribed and would help but later in the day it would flare up and i still had not eaten anything apart from a banana, Taking extra Panadol helped but i was hard to walk for almost a week

Nobby

That's so right !! Have to read it again Beck Hojo lol

Ro

I agree - obesity is not a specific trigger and there are several different triggers - dehydration plays a role and high protein intake. The peripheral joints are affected - and can commonly include but not limited to the big toe/ second toe metatarsal joints/ ankle knee joints. It can also predispose to regions or limbs with previous injury

Nay

Beck Hojo, your risk is higher if you are overweight 🙄🙄 clearly don't know much about what the cause factors are.

Webster

I’m 71. I suffered terribly with gout. About 15 years ago I entered a clinical trial study. The drug I was given was not identified. I participated for 5 years. My gout HAS NOT returned. Not once. No flare ups. Nothing. Called docs office. They still will not tell me name of drug. I just call it the miracle pharmaceutical.

PAS

Beck Hojo, it said, "Chances are higher"

Rachel

KTSketti, increases your chance of anything right! (except "scoring" on a Saturday night 😂

Puddintame

LibraLady1010, Hemophilia.

Michelle

Beck Hojo, it CAN be due to obesity, but be in non-obese people.

Trainwreck
