Starting Allopurinol

Doc wants me to take 100mg for a month and then check uric acid and
kidney function levels. He is concerned because I have had elevated
creatinine readings in the past. I am 34, 6'6" and 280 and lift
weights regularly. How many got gout as a result of starting
allopurinol? How soon should I expect? Will take colchicine as
prophalaxis....does this work? How long will the attack last? I know
everyone is different just a quick synopsis please. Feeling anxious
and need reassurance....after ingesting first pill I will probably
have an anxiety attack looking for rashes and any other horrible
things that could go wrong. Will keep you posted.

    Well I'll be...a coin that cures illnesses. The advances of modern
    medicine never cease to amaze me! The effects of a whole pocket full
    of coins may be astronomical!
