Support that feels like a lifeline.
Living with gout can feel isolating, especially when no one around you understands how brutal it can be. That’s why we created a private Facebook group just for people like you.
With over 16,000 members, it’s a place to ask questions, vent, get answers, and connect with people who truly understand what you’re going through. No shame. No judgment. Just support that actually helps.
Whether you’re navigating your first flare or managing long-term care, this community helps you learn, listen, and feel less alone.
How to join your new support group
Our Facebook group is private so conversations stay safe and supportive.
To join, just answer a short questionnaire. Once approved by our admin team, you’ll get access to a community of fellow patients, our co-founder Gary Ho, Dr. Parker, and trusted moderators who’ve lived this journey too.
What to expect in the group:
- Honest conversations (we don't sugarcoat the pain, or the process)
- Facebook Lives from experts and patients, answering your questions in real time
- Searchable threads with answers to everything from “is this a gout trigger?” to “how do I find the right doctor?”
- A community that shows up for each other, especially when you're stuck on the couch during a flare
Group guidelines we take seriously:
