Why don't you stop eating so much slaughter and getting so drunk while you eat cows and pigs. Why don't you mutants eat some green vegetables once in awhile and stop being gluttonous Americans.

I may have a story to top them all. (regretfully) My first flare-up was in my middle finger and lasted a day. Later more frequent and longer lasting episodes. Normally in my small joints in the fingers and sometimes in large joints. Each time the attack gets worse and lasts longer. None of them have EVER gone away on their own and I am left with knobby finger joints. One day last year I had an excruciating foot flare-up and was on crutches for a couple of weeks after an ankle sprain. It was in the instep of my foot and felt broken. I sat in a chair all weekend and could almost not make it to the bathroom. Yes, like an earlier comment, as bad as childbirth. I have been seeing an Arthritis specialist for 2 years and he says it is gout, put me on Allopurinol, then added colchicine and now a new one that I can't remember the name of, but starts with a P I think. Honestly, I don't feel any of these meds give me relief, but only thanks to intermittent steroid shots of kenalog or medpacks of prednisone I get rare relief. As soon as those are out of my system the flareups come right back. I am 51 and these started when I was about 42. It was a time in my life when I was having a couple glasses of wine a WEEK, but finances allowed us to eat more fresh veggies such as mushrooms, asparagus, whole wheat products, steak, scallops, etc. I see these now as all contributory, although I rarely drink alcohol now. My Dr. says to avoid that and organ meats and stay hydrated. I'm at my wits end and feel surely there is something to help us all. I am basically crippled, not being able to pick up heavy items or open jar lids....everything is painful and difficult. Now it is going to my ankles and feet, even my wrists and elbow I believe as well as very possibly, my knees and hips. I eat cherries in the summertime and attacks were not as bad then, but seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I think we are all looking for some real help and a diet plan we can live with. They say whole wheat is bad for gout. Ill spare you more details. Well hello Kids. I may have a story to top them all. (regretfully) My first flare-up was in my middle finger and lasted a day.

All you need to do is change your diet and this will "cure" your gout. It is that simple. The basic diet is eat as little red meat, cow products, yeast (bread, pastries and cakes) as you can. Then eat lots of fish, brown past and rice. There is more stuff you need to avoid or eat and you can find a good gout diet that works here, there are other diets but this one works http://www.everythingiselectric.com/natural_cure_remedy_for_severe_gout_arthritis.html You do not need to take a pill every day for the rest of your life.

I have had it twice before, once in each of my feet, and this time in my big toe. So far, the night before each attack included getting hammered from drinking beer and eating burgers or steaks with my friends. I have discovered that beer and steak are basically no-no's for now on, which honestly makes me very sad, because that's my favorite meal. Every morning though, I took my first step out of bed and almost fell over as I wondered what in the #^%$ I did to myself the night before! Why does it hurt so bad?! I have done my fair share of research now, and what the majority of the people are saying is to cut out the crap food, the red meats, and the alcohol(of course, the staple of my diet), and eat the hell out of some dark cherries and drink cherry juice. If anyone has any information other than that, please email me at TJWarmington@yahoo.com OH! The 2nd attack I had was so unbearable I decided to try accupuncture. Believe it or not(which at the time I was very skeptical), it worked! After the session was over, I stepped off the table and felt no difference, but she said to take it easy that night, so I did. She said the next day you would feel the pain breaking up and flowing out of my foot. I woke up the next morning and it felt like just that! It was amazing. There probably aren't many people out there more skeptical than I was about this, but as a fellow gout sufferer, I understand the pain and wouldn't purposly lead any of you in the wrong direction.

I would rather give birth without epidural again. It was horrible. I have auto immune hepititis and they said i have very low kidney function so they couldnt put me on any meds. Needless to say I looked for anything that would help. I now eat alot of dry cherries and drink lots of water and juice. I dont know much about this or what causes or helps it so please if anyone has any advice... please share. I am 33 yrs old and recently had my first experience with gout.
