The bad news is that it willprobably express gain when you are older but maybe not. My mom has itand she did not take the allopurinol or stop the culchicine-becauseher physician told her to keep taking it- This went on for years andnow she is left with permanent and constantly degenerating loss offeeling in her hands and feet, arms and legs and pain in the evening. U bet, culchicine should be taken only when it is absolutely neededand I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why allopurinol is notthe first thing perscribed. If you look at the statistics, if you getan attack, even one, you are going to be a gout person and will endup needing it. So why not take it now, not later when the pain is alot worse and the symptoms a lot harder to treat? OK so one person in a hundred will be treating something they don'tneed to treat, but there ar e other benefits of allopurinol so it isnot a bad thing.
