Man the BIG toe is just on fire tonight.  Haven't been drinking any beer either. Took a double dose of Indomethacin... pppphhhhtttttt

My wife had it and cured it with sage. Eat some everyday. Cherry juice is also good. She's into natural stuff, it worked for her.

I understand it mainly caused from hanging onto unrestored muscle cars? I hear the GTX of the 1970 model year is especially troublesome?

Cure?

My wife is Filipina.   Her family has gout problems.  Red meat makes gout flare.  But Pork is the worst.  That is when most have flare ups after they eat pork.

Paragon Black Cherry Complex works great.  No prescription needed.

I don't have any grout between my toes.   

Sorry BIGS, I had to go there. I wish you well, as I hear it is painful.

If I eat shell fish, my knees start giving me trouble.

I believe it's gout, but I just avoid shell fish now.  Too bad cause I love scallops, lobster, and shrimp.

Had it in elbow ,awful keep you awake at night kinda pain. http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/Smileys/default/22_yikes.gif Beer, gravy , french fries, fish.............. Now take Uloric daily, seems to work.

Yep...started a year or so ago for me in my big toe!  More painful that I would have ever thought.

I am not a big drinker, a few whiskeys on the weekend, most people associate gout with heavy drinking.

I have had only two flare-up since the first one.

The only change I made both times was having a fruit smoothie / protein shake for breakfast after my workout.  After 2 weeks of smoothies, my gout flares up.  I stopped the smoothies after the last flare up, changed noting else, and have not had a flare up since.

Sucks too...they were very filling!

I have had it for 25 years now.

I quit eating all shell fish, zero alcohol, no red meat at all and very little pork
Mostly chic , turkey and fish
And for some strange reason, I can tolerate fresh killed venison.

I take one tablet of probenicid each day and it seems to keep
Things ok for me

I will stil get a mild flair up once in a while and I use colchicine to stop it before it gets bad.

I learned that not only high Uric acid can mess you up, but a drop can too
Like if u do a crash diet for weight loss. 

It's a strange disease but diet and minimal medicine works for me.

I can write a book on the stupid subject.  LOL

Always ate shell fish, with beer,
My wife found a recipe for shrimp dinner with hot sauce etc. 2 yrs ago.
Next morning toe was 3 times it size and     pain.
I drink black cherry juice but have slacked off.
Doctor prescribed Colcrys took a week to go away.
No flare up since.
Drink more black cherry juice. 
Puritan Pride sells it.

I read somewhere that Vitamin C is supposed to be part of the solution. It used to be known as the "rich man's disease" Chris, so please send me all your cash and it- or I- will go away! There, I fixed it.
