Gout

Exactly this. The list of foods that "can cause" gout, is so long that I would need to live on water alone.

For interest sakes: how many mg are you on currently? I'm on 400mg, but my doc says he has clients up to 900mg

900mg...crumbs! Fortunately I'm on only 100mg/day so I'm not too fussed.

I quit smoking (8 days ago), so I may have to revisit the dosage as smoking has an effect on gout. Strangely enough, smoking apparently helps prevent gout attacks!
 
Lifestyle changes....tsek.

Colchicine. Just stick to the dosage otherwise you'll literally kack your panties. Also, pop 2 Panamors every 2 hours, should be amost gone by then anyway.

That only works when you get what I like to call "Gout Lite".

I get gout that puts me on crutches. I recently had a severe attack in my elbow ( didn't drink my Puricos for 2 weeks). Couldn't use my arm for 5 weeks. Only after ortho surgeon gave me the most painful shots of my life, did it get better. This because a GP quack misdiagnosed me with bursitis...after I told him I'm 99% sure it is gout and he refused to treat it as such.

Yep, fair enough. Only about every three months I get it in the same damn toe, and I can't even put a sock on :( You have it bad! :eek:
 
Only ever had it once in my life in my big toe. Used to make fun of people getting it. I have a new found respect for gout :D

Fark no, never again!
 
Gout can also be hereditary. My father, grandfather and I also suffer from gout.

I find an attack is triggered most often by dehydration, so water, lots of water helps me prevent an attack, which I can feel coming by way of joint discomfort prior to the full on attack taking place.
 
Raw Apple cider, -can pick it up at any good store....2 tablespoons, in a glass of water...every morning.
Will assist in getting the body's ph from acidic to more natural alkaline level..in the process you getting rid of gout and all other acidic related issues.
