Toe deformity
Hello All,
This is a great list for us gout sufferers. I am so glad I found it.
Thanks for your reply Joyce. It's too bad you're allergic to Colchicine.
It's made a world of difference to me. As far as the hypertension goes my
new doctor prescribed Toprol XL 50mg. Does anyone have any experience with
this medication? The Ziac I was taking made my feel tired all the time. I've
heard that's typical of antihypertensive drugs. Ugh.
I wanted to comment on Terry's post regarding her husband's toe problem. I
have had many attacks in my toes. I've never had any skin eruptions as
Terry's husband has endured. I do have two deformed joints on my toes from
the repeated attacks but to my knowledge the bone has not eroded. It's a
shame your husband's toes have gotten so bad Terry. He really should stop or
at least cut way back on the beer. It's one of the worst things for gout
sufferers. I occasionally indulge in a beer or two but I sure know about it
the next day. Wine too is very bad. Hard liquor doesn't seem to be as bad
for some reason, at least for me. As for cherry juice I once asked my former
doctor (a nephrologist) about it and he said, "all it does is make you fat."
Could be. I don't know because I've never tried it.
I've read about some herbal remedies for gout. Has anyone tried them? I'm
skeptical but who knows?
Good day,
Jeff
