I'm becoming an old....MAN!


It's true.

I have GOUT.

Shut up - it's not funny!!!!!!

I too thought only old men that drink far too much get gout.

Apparently not.

What next? Coughing up gorbies and spitting them on the front porch??

It's possibly the change to my diet that's done it.
Too much uric acid or some crap.

I woke up with it yesterday morning.

Last night was by far the worst - I barely slept - I was up at 3am with my new best friend - NUROFEN.

Stange body I have.

We have a glitch in the Xenical proceedings.
Dr Matt said he thought he was there...but it won't be til mid next week.
Good job I'm patient.
Haven't told Small Man yet........

Bugger.

Oh well I'll hobble off and assemble my new storage thingy that arrived today.
Big A is away for the weekend and I had lots planned (gorby hocking etc)......

I hope you're feeling better soon x

Ouch

Try a detox. If you can get to an ion detox footbath thingo that would be good, gets rid of uric acid for sure.

There are other ways though. Go see a naturapath?

If you were here I would stick you in my footbath. That'd fix you...but no gorbies allowed.

Dignity G dignity!

That'll teach you for drinking 3 slabs of beer a day (only joking) ;)

Tania ~ Thank you!

'Chelle ~ I'm trying vitamin C and drinking more water....nurofen seems to be the only thing helping...I'm not too handy when I can't walk for some reason ;-)

Jayne ~ Well, 3 or 4 a day...ha ha! :-)

Cyndy ~ Thank you - same here it's getting ridiculous...

Now you have to start yelling at kids to get off your damn lawn.

MPS has gout. It sucks. He takes Progout and it stops him from getting attacks.

Hey Kelley - I was thinking a walking stick to whack em with may be good too!

Progout? Is that over the counter or prescription?
It's been a long couple of days - nights especially.

How did Moo go with HJ's?

Maybe I should slow down on the wine then....

And we call them goobers.

Warriorwitch ~ I reckon you'll be right - if it hasn't happened yet it probably won't!

Ouch! Gout. Not funny, at all. Actually, if memory serves me correctly, cranberry juice is supposed to be a good remedy for gout.

Thanks Lou - it's settled down a lot now - will give the cranberry juice a go if it flares up again - hopefully not!
