Gout...

Agreed on the Voltis, but I'm all shot-up on Panamor already. I seem to get it about once a year, coincidently around the time of my birthday when consumption of beer, red wine, braaivleis and other foods of teh devil skyrockets. :eek:

This is the worst I've had, though. Been 2 weeks already. Oh, well... I'll live in pain then. I'll sooner get crutches than give up my vices. :p

Last sentence is what an alcoholic, drug addict and diabetic told me. Good for you though for standing up for what you believe in. :D
 
Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice may help.... Or so I'm told

I'll drink my cider at home and swallow down a disgusting beer in public if I have to :)

...thanks to not inheriting the alpha-signalling man-gene which turns one into a lover of tobacco, beer, and (oddly) staring at sportsmen asses :P

...sucks. :(

Nearly scaled the walls last night every time the sheets brushed across my foot. :mad: DAMN YOU, RED WINE! :mad:

Any suggestions apart from amputation would be appreciated.

Didn't read the whole thread but colchicine helps get rid of the uric acid - does make your stomach run though- and some anti-inflammatories help with the pain and swelling.

also drink lots of water. stay away from red meat and alcohol.
 
Try Bushu Tea
Boil a pot with one tea bag,
then cool and drink in glasses through the day
