Interested in gout

well, despite not knowing an awful lot about the
Vietnam war (having been educated in the UK), i can
imagine, in some ways, how bad it must have been. in
other ways, i guess you'd have to be there.
yes, well i haven't ever used it in that way. i always
seem to be a little bit too "tired" after a smoke :)
i've heard cannabis is useful for pain relief, but i
think that a lot of the effect isn't an actual
reduction in pain, more like caring less that tha pain
is there. for example, despite me saying the cannabis
increased the amount of pain i felt, i did get less
pain when i was watching TV, because the effects of
the cannabis meant i was enchanted by whatever it is i
was watching.
i've just turned 25, but i had my first attack when i
was 17, with maybe one or two attacks a year since.
strange you ask me about allopurinol, as i have been
prescribed it but never took the tablets (due to not
wanting to be on permanent medication).
this morning though, i took my first tablet (100mg) as
the doctor now wants to see how much it will reduce my
uric acid levels, which appear to be naturally high
all the time (as opposed to the "spiking" others speak
of)
