my doctor has previously mentioned that gout attacks don’t just happen whenthe uric acid in your blood is high, but also if it drops too quickly (whichis why dieting can bring on gout attacks) he mentioned it as i had lost fourstones but my attacks were getting worse…

maybe a half a tablet when you get an attack, rather than a full one? -maybe you need a steak to stop your uric acid dropping? - i’ve noticed thatif i go out drinking, and i drink just vodka, and i am in the middle of amoderate attack, for a few days the attack goes away. this only works onlong term, low level attacks. the short sharp attacks are something else, aswe all know, but strange how this works on me.

i think it is the most dastardly thing to ever be afflicted with. being soyoung it is a constant source of amusement to my friends (im 24). damnit.

its a pity you have to cross your fingers with gout isnt it. so hit andmiss…
