That one hasvisited me twice in my life and al much as I fear a real gout pain Ifeat this monster more. Uric acid kidney stones that pass from the kidney are so bad that ifoffered, hemlock would be preferable. If you have gout, you have a one in 3 chance of also getting kidneystones. My wife told me about the pain of child birth, which I watched. Womenwho have had both say that a child is less pain.

Kinda like an old English mace.
