You have my deep sympathies. I had my first (and hopefully only) attack just about a year ago, and it's not as funny as it looks in historical dramas.
well, mine is self diagnosed.
I have had this off and on for a few years and I could never figure out if it was a form of arthritis* because it always showed up in times of barometric pressure changes or if it was gout. I didn’t worry too much about it, I just wanted somebody to rub my feet and would’ve paid someone to rub my feet were I not too cheap.
But last week was a killer. I drank half a bottle of wine after drinking very little in the past year. Bam! Giant pain and inflammation lasted for 3-4 days. The next time I see my doctor I will report this and she’s going to tell me to not drink I’ll betcha.
* I have since learned from dr. Google that gout is considered a form of arthritis.
IL - Try Montmorecy tart cherry juice. YLMV but worth a try.
interesting! I do like tart cherries when they are dried so I’m sure the cherry juice is very good.
I have eaten mountains of tart cherries, and buckets of the cherry juice, and cut out alcohol almost completely, and haven't had a relapse, so far.
A stock market thread ends with a discussion on Gout. I don't know that a thread ever ends where it started around here..........
Well, gout is referred to as "the rich man's disease", so there is that.
There’s our tie in. Thanks!
Needs to be specifically MONTMORENCY tart cherries (or so I am told).
Good thing I am not rich so that’s why I never got gout).
