Interested in gout

I am in the throws of a gout attack that has been with me now for
about three months. Off and on and I have been trying to figure out
how to minimize/eliminate the pain and get back to normal.
I recently went on allopurinol but I think I am not on enough, as I
am only at 100 mg now.
I believe that I need to loose weight as I am now 207 and should be
180 and I know that there is a lot of stored uric acid in my fat and
as I lose the weight the uric acid will come out. The trick has to be
to keep the water going.
My weight loss plan is to walk for 1 hour a day, on a tread mill,
that takes me 4 miles in that hour on an incline of 4 on the machine.
Dunno what that is in the real world. I do know this, that when I am
religous about the walking for 5 of 7 days each week, I loose about 2
pounds a week with no change in diet. When I get encouraged I usually
lower the food and improve the rate of loss to about 3 pounds a week.
Any more than that and it would be dangerous and I level off there.
When you walk for one hour, and sweat as I do when I walk two
important things happen.
1) I wil raise my body temperature for a whole hour. That's why I am
sweating and the increased body temperature will increase the
solubility of the socium urate in my system. Improve the solubility
and the system will reabsorbe the solid sodium urate and reduce the
crystals in my system.
2) The walk will increase, temporarily, my blood pressure and an
increase in blood pressure will improve whatever renal capability my
system has. Increase the pressure on an osmotic system and it will
improve it.
The key I think is to make sure that I replace immediately, or as it
is happening, the fluid that I am going to sweat out. I have never
done this and I know from past experience that when I sweat too much
without drinking water and without drinking an appropriate
electrolyte, I get attacks and I get dehydrated and it's not good.
From a experiment design, I should make sure that my kidneys have
plenty of water to use when I am elevating my Blood Pressure so I
will drink about two quarts of liquid, 1 qt of water and 1 qt of
gator aid during the walk.
I'm posting my weight today, I think about 207 and I'll post my
progress weekly on Sunday evening. I'd like all of us who ae
overweight, to try it. Lets loose weight. What are you now and post
it weekly. If you are not able to loose weight, and you are trying,
perhaps you can tell us why you think you didn't and why you were not
able to do it. I know that in my case, I am just weak and figure that
I can do it tomorrow so I put it off and pig out. Tomorrow will find
me walking-only 45 minutes a day the first week by the way, and I
believe I can do it. I walked through the gout pain once about two
years ago and, in fact, I walked it away after about two weeks and it
stayed away for two years. I got to 185 then. Unfortunately over the
intervening two years I then balooned back to my now chubby self of
207.
Wish me luck and perhaps some of you will join me.
