Ha ha some girl in work has just been tellin me that funny enough

[Flying Pig]

Gout is so unfashionable now, nobody trendy gets it. I occassionally get athlete foot because only olympic standards athlete can get that.

 

Its great to be gout free.:laugh:

[The Chief]

I went the docs earlier to get the blood test results, turns out I haven't got gout, problem is I don't know whether that's good or bad, cos I am in fucking agony with me plates. I've gotta go and get X-Rays now.

[hamstrung]

I have this. It hurts.

 

My diet is excellent. Its the bastard beer what done it. Apparently beer is the worst thing you can drink for it.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I'm off work with it today.

 

It's a pain in the arse the way everyone who sees you hobbling around is sympathetic until you tell them it's gout, then they start laughing and tell you you're too old or too rich.

 

I might start calling it "Dirk Kuyt" as well, though. Give them something to think about.

Apparently God invented gout to stop fat people spreading Aids.

I thought making AIDS sexually-transmitted would be enough.

I'd accept it happily if I was horribly overweight or spent my life eating Fois Gras, but I am just an average joe who life has chosen to bite on the bum (well, the side of my big toe)

[Liverpool lad]

Rich man's disease and so I have no sympathy for anyone with it. If you had scurvy however, I would be very sympathetic

[LFC Brian]

The start of this thread says I am 28 ......I am now 30 ..what a bummer

Fuck you gout and the ageing process !!

Eat low fat, low protein and much vitamin C to prevent it from coming back.

 

A 2004 study suggests that animal flesh sources of purine (such as beef and seafood) slightly increases the risk of developing gout. However, high-purine vegetable sources (such as asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, and green peas) did not. Dairy products such as milk and cheese significantly reduced the chances of gout. (Wiki)

Im not up for a diet of asparagus,cauliflower,spinach and green peas ....I flesh too much so Ill take the occasional limp

 

I fucking love cheese though but this always makes it worse

Knocking back the ale like a good'un will put you in the club guranteed!

 

Was fine until I went back to college and discovered the student bar!

Good summary of foods to be favoured/treated with caution/avoided by Dirk Kuyt sufferers.

You hobbling yet?

I feel for you mate, i get gout and i tell you what it's probably the most painfull expierence i've ever had.

 

I'm 29 and play football to a really good standard, not over weight dont drink alot (a sesh once every 3 weeks with the lads) and eat healthy so its not always diet related.

 

Like Tom said it was know as the kings disease, mainly because a diet rich in shellfish, red meat and bevee can be the cause, but it can also hereditary as mine is.

 

If it is Gout it means medication for the rest of you life to prevent it, i take this and i can tell you its far better than the pain of an attack every few weeks. The only problem is you can only start taking the meds when your not having an attack.

 

 

unfortunatly NSAID's will not help ease the pain, my top tip is to put a teaspoon full of bia-carb soda into about 200ml of water and drink it, it tastes bloody awful but it does ease the pain do this 2-3 time a day just be careful if you have any salt/diet related issues.

 

gout-hatersdotcom is a usefull forum.

 

Apparently, cherry juice is good for it. Shop next to Tesco on London Rd sells it - £1.15 a litre.

I was told to stay off cheese!

Anyone who thinks they have gout get an x ray done.

Apparently gout shows up clear as day on it.

Are you tiling the bathroom? Confused

I had it and the doctor blamed too much ale, I agreed with him and agreed to cut down.

 

Three months later I got it again. He asked about the ale and I said "I've cut down my drinking by half since I first had gout. I used to drink forty pints a week....... now I only drink thirty nine and a half".
