"I'll give you a perfect example two years ago ladies and gentlemen two years ago out of nowhere my foot swelled up was incredibly excruciating Lee painful I couldn't believe I was like what is this I've never had this happen before you know at that point and by the way it's funny because at that point I asked around my family has anyone ever had this happened everyone says no and later on I found out they do it's hereditary in my family but I'll mention that in a moment when I tell you what it is so my foot swells up I go to the doctor I tell the doctor all my symptoms and she said it sounds to me like you have what's called gout and it's rare for someone your age like usually older guys would get it in their 40s or 50s maybe only being my 30s you know it's very rare that I would have it and by the way do not type gout into the stream chat you will get kicked because it's really not a big deal anymore but back then when I had it people were being dicks especially earlier like when I just rejoined twitch last year people were being dicks and being stupid and saying that non-stop so I'd be made being able word so just a warrant everyone don't say in the stream chat alright so what it means cow is that you have a high acid levels in your body and basically what I had to do was do lifestyle changes I stopped eating red meat all the time which I used to do all the time I mean I'm not even kidding there were weeks where one day I would have steak the next day I would have a burger the next day I would have sausage or a meatball the next day I would have like pasta with some kind of meat in it you know what I mean so I would be eating red meat like constantly and that's his very high acid levels in the body or also shellfish shrimp lobster crab all that very high acid levels in the body and it just so happens the day that this happened it was my birthday week and I had had a ton of shellfish I had these popper like like shrimp popper appetizer plus a pasta that had shrimp in it then I ate red meat for like three days so it was like acid overload in my body okay and I'm you know older so my metabolism was getting different you know it's it's expected as you get older and so yeah I was in a bad way all right so I went to the doctor she tells me here's what it is okay x-rayed my foot did blood work because she just wanted to be sure it wasn't something crazy serious or anything you know um all the tests came back exactly as expected you have it you have gout so you know she prescribed an anti-inflammatory I'm not kidding you not one thing that happened that day was covered under my insurance I paid for it all and by the time it was done I paid $1,300 yes I'm not exaggerating $1,300 for one day at the doctor going to just the doctor checkup x-ray bloodwork and getting the the prescription $1300 with me having insurance paying you know hundreds of dollars a month for insurance that's the health care I get because I'm self-employed hmm"
