The sunlight thing is unrelated to the gout. Just more of the practical joke that has been 2022. It's a form of eczema that I never heard of before where you suddenly become allergic to sunlight. 30 seconds of sunlight, three minutes of shade, five minutes of full moon light and I get hives and rashes that look just like Poison Oak. And that itch like crazy! Two days later, and the skin peels like a third degree sunburn. It's just not groovy. I get to wear full head-to-toe coverage anytime there is sun around.
