Good luck with your meds and keep drinking plenty of water.

At least having gout gives me a good excuse to not eat internal organs (liver, kidneys, "sweetbread") and spinach.[Wink]

Indomethcin AND cochicine right now. Tomorrow if it still isn't starting to clear up I start the steroids. I seem to get really bad attacks when I have them.

Apparently a dip with spinach in it is what did it this time.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Marlin.[Beer]

Spinach is the worst for me...really high uric acid levels from that devil weed.

I quit taking allopurinol for maintenance because it was making me very tired, muscle injuries took really long to heal, and I seemed to have attacks more often that were very severe in nature. It was almost like it was masking the effects until it was a full-blown attack. Now I seem to notice an onset sooner.

Naproxen sodium (Aleve/Naprosyn) works very well for me with the inflammation. In really severe cases I'll ice the areas down. Fortunately, I can tell in my right foot when things are heading down that ugly road and I jump on the colchicine and Aleve right away and head things off. I have had those moments before I knew I had gout when the ankle was a little sore when I went to bed and couldn't walk when I woke up. Bummer!

...but I guess it's better than having diabetes.

I'm praying for you.

...and Marlin.

Man, I'm glad Mine wasn't that bad.[Abused]

You get better also Scott.

Glad you're okay. Glad they didn't have to cut your foot off. Glad they didn't shoot you.

Aren't you glad?
