Gout flareup - Shoot me now.

[44hunter45]

This is the worst I've ever had. Although I probably say that every time. I knew it was coming when I had that Flamethrower Combo, Blizzard, and Dilly Bar last night.
Definitely the Carnivore's Penance.

Tart cherry work for you?

Usually. I still get one or two episodes a year. I don't do the Colchicine. My sister has good results with it.

There a prescription you can take to keep it from coming. I take it everyday.

 

[Hertervillian]

Alpurinol after the flair up has passed. Living on the edge of flair ups is not a very good solution. Strangely enough ice tea threw me over the edge, every spring coffee slacked and ice tea by the gallon. Early June I was a hurting camper. Took 5 years to truly connect the 2. But I was on the edge a lot, many of my “arthritic joints” went away when the uric acid was controlled. My final straw was finding it in my wrist one morning, bow season ended right then.

Really think about your summer habits vs winter. Ask your wife to offer up an opinion.

endomethecin is nearly magical in knocking down a flare. and much faster acting than colchicine. forget cherry juice as a cure for a flair. I keep endomethicin on hand and beat back a flare before it fully manefests some times and knocks it out within a day or two otherwise. take soe with my on hunts to ensure I can stomp out a flare quickly.

And if you are regularly having flares (twice a year is too damn many) start taking allopurinol daily. period.just do it. cheap cost high return.

Oh those green miracle capsules. I was told they were not prescribe me any more of them. Not particularly good for the rest of me. That’s where the alpurinol every morning came into my life.

gotcha. Yep those greenies work. My doc warns me taking it often is HARD on your stomach, but I take it so rarely it is not an issue (for me). Could be it beats you up differently.

Gout Sucks!

WebMD is a good resource for the technical info. Meds are tricky. If other meds taken, they can play against or amplify each other... Create effects others may not experience, etc. Chat with your doc.

When I get a bout of gout, I take prednisone to knock it out.

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It can strike even when your diet seems pretty clean. Drink lots and lots of water every day.

 

[325 WSM]

Allipurinol every evening before bed. No side affects, not one flare up since taking it. does take a little while to get into your system but worth it

 

[44hunter45]

Crikey - One wife is enough. Y'all can stop now.
I've made the appointment to get an Allopurinol prescription.

 

[44hunter45]

If it makes my psoriatic arthritis go away too, I will be 18 again....

OST, I might need another prescription for that.....
