I know 6 men with gout. All of them are/were taking statin drugs, Lipitor or Crestor. None of them drink alcohol or have rich diets. A couple of them stopped taking it and gout went away.

I temporarily lost my sense of smell when I caught Covid. What was really disturbing was that I could not smell bleach, which we use as a disinfectectant.

Then most of my sense of smell returned, but it was altered. In particular, fresh cooked fish smelled like it was rotten. And I could smell the septic tank truck miles away. Still couldn't smell bleach.

It's been over a year and my sense of smell is getting better. I can smell bleach again, and the poop truck isn't so bad. But it's still hard to eat fish because of the smell.
