re: Best remedy/meds for gout

What jose said. Make sure your doc does something to prevent a flare if you start allopurinol as it can precipitate a flare. Have to go back for follow ups to make sure your level is at goal, may take a decent dose to get it there. I see lots of people on 100 mg and that doesn’t cut it for most.
Sounds like you’re doing a lot right. Could consider cutting the alcohol down some and see if that makes a difference. This is an huge one for me. Two beers and I will be up at 3 AM guaranteed.

Agree with above about turning that TV off in the bedroom.

Glad last night went better! Don’t mess with success for sure.
How’s your sleep hygiene? I find most aren’t truly doing everything they can to get this fixed, and I would consider taking a hard look at your habits prior to dropping the cash on a Whoop.

Do you have a consistent bedtime and wake up time, even on weekend?

When do you last consume caffeine?

What’s your alcohol intake look like?

Are you looking at screens before bed?

Do you sleep with your phone next to you?

White noise? Cool room?

Frequency of laundering your sheets?

Eating close to bed?

Do you have acid reflux?

Depending on life circumstances not all of these can be modified but most can, and I would optimize these first.
What’s the difference between Rising Buns and Peachy? Looking for a lower body focus after Arm Farm next month but after tweaking my back a couple times deadlifting, doing it 5 days a week scares me a little looking at Deadcember.
