- Assertion
- Thomas Sydenham, himself disabled by gout, described a flare that wakes the patient around two in the morning with pain in the big toe that becomes so severe the patient cannot bear the weight of bedclothes.
- Quote
The patient goes to bed and sleeps quietly until about two in the morning when he is awakened by a pain which usually seizes the great toe ... so exquisitely painful as not to endure the weight of the clothes nor the shaking of the room from a person walking briskly therein.
