Again?

Is it usual to have two attacks so close together?

I woke this morning with a dull pain in my foot centred around thebig toe joint left foot, exactly the same as the way the attackstarted 10 days ago. I immediately ran - well hobbled really - to findthe vioxx. It’s my day off so that means I can take it fairly easy.

Just curious about the frequency of attacks?

Yes I did eat a yummy pasta last night with bacon and lots ofgreen peas, but I have also eaten some of the other no nos withoutproblems. I was hoping that I wouldn’t be one of those with goutbrought on by dietary intake.

Does change of weather make a difference/bring on attacks? Wewent from 30 degrees C the last few days to a maximum of lessthan 17 today. Just wondered whether extremes in temp could be afactor?

So far todays’s attack is very mild - hurts a bit to move it - only dullache when kept still. Lifting the toes causes the most pain - otherthan walking.

Last week’s attack was over in a day - let’s hope this one is thesame.
