Gout - I have to take allopurinol in hopes of warding off another flare; mobility issues do arise from time to time; hydration is incredibly important--not just water but electrolytes too. Just becoming dehydrated is enough to trigger a flare. My wife did take me to the ER once where they took fluid from my knee and gave me morphine for the pain because my presentation of gout has never really been the classic big toe variety. I'd say this drags down quality of life by 10%.
Cocktail of CPTSD, MDD, GAD - This one has been persistent and has cost me several jobs, promotions, chances at maeking it. I used to try and self-medicate, but now I'm getting outside help and that makes a big difference. I'd say these drag down quality of life by 80%.
Class III Obesity - This is the albatross around my neck. It's impossible to ignore and its comorbidity with the others should not come as a surprise. Drags down QOL by 50%.
