I had problems with Gout and I had to take 100mg of Indicin (spelling?) just to get the swelling down. Even on Allyopurnol I would get huge flairups.
I don't struggle with DaGout anymore as I have given up drinking. I don't regret a day of it either.
#1 I have more money in my pocket on a consistant basis.
#2 I don't have flairups that are so bad I cannot walk and have to be carried into the drs. office.
#3 I would rather my son (20 months old) NOT grow up around a dad that is a heavy drinker and not have alcohol in the house like I did.
If anyone out there has ever had da gout you can see why playing with it would be a tremendous feat for anyone. No pun intended.
