What was most shocking to me was not the corporate incompetence (I'm used to that), but the fact that 5 million devices had been recalled. I had no idea there were so many people that used a sleep apnea machine.
I'm wondering if common wisdom will change dramatically in the next 50-100 years on human lifestyles, and most of these diseases will be largely resolved (like gout was for the upper classes of a few centuries ago).
- mechhacker 3y agoCaught that you mentioned gout. I recently got gout when I really pushed my body hard by running 4x my normal distance in one week, still worked out, kept eating lots of junk (lots of sugary stuff), and drinking 3-4 drinks a night regularly. I also got a cold. Right after that, I got hit with massive toe pain on one foot. Thankfully it was just a little bit of prednisone but it caused me to back off drinking and eat less sweet things. I'm relatively fit (~35" waist, 203-205ish pounds at 6'1"), but I also dropped down about 5 pounds (was about 208-210) after that and will probably continue to lose more.
- InCityDreams 3y agoI suffer from gout, and I'm not a few centuries old (yet).
- mechhacker 3y agoWhat do you do for it?
- post_break 3y agoI'm in shape, "healthy" but I have a thick neck that causes my issue. It's not just eating junk food and being fat.
- auntienomen 3y agoSleep apnea is extremely common. And it appears to be correlated with having had corrective orthodontics, so may in fact be more common than previously.
