Interested in gout

the ten gout commandments (and tongue firmly in cheek)

thou shalt take allopurinol

thou shalt drink water

thou shalt take an nsaid or colchicine when you get a twinge

thou shalt not drink caffeine

thou shalt not eat high purine foods

thou shalt not injure an old injury (thus triggering gout)

thou shalt not eat red meat cheese and port (unless you are on the "A" train)

thou shalt eat cherries tree bark and herbal crap by the wheelbarrow full (if you are not on the "A" train) but still get gout anyway.

thou shalt not check your uric acid level ( just stick your finger in the wind and wait for your next attack)

thou shalt not get stressed out

AND COMMANDMENT NO 11

thou shalt not piss off walter and arnold et al, with silly nonsense (LOL) on this gout board ( or maybe you should ! as there replies are entertaining, but very educational)

Here endeth the lesson
