Booting this thread cos I think I've got a dose of Gout in my right big toe joint atm.

 

Was out on the piss last night straight from work and felt great; several bottles of Brown Ale and 6 pints of Old Rosie, back home to bed. Woke up this morning and fucking ouch ya bastard.

 

Can't be arsed going to the docs but I'm off work next week and supposed to be drinking in the sunshine.

 

Fuck it, think I'll get a crutch or summat and head down the pub.

Are you sure it's not aids?

Sounds like bad toe aids

Can't sleep. Fucking shooting, searing pain is unreal.

 

Half 8 I'm down the docs, 9 o'clock it's Holland & Barrett.

 

Got this week off work and I didn't plan on being laid up like some crippled spaz. I'm counting on those celery seeds to weave their magic.

 

Roll up some herb and fly away into eternal bliss!

Been laid up with this twat of a blood disorder for the past week. Left big toe this time though.

 

Can't sleep at all, hobbled down to work and back for three days last week which didn't do me any good. By Thursday I couldn't even get a sandal on my left foot. Although much of the swelling has subsided I'm still in a lot of pain.

 

Got a gig on in Manchester next Saturday and I really need it gone before then.

 

Serves me right for sacking the Allopurinol. Never again.

Whats aggravating it mate? Was it just stopping the meds?

 

My quack hasn't put me on anything for the high uric acid because I control it via diet and don't drink. He has me getting blood tests twice a year though (for one thing and another), so I guess if it ever got any worse the meds would be the next step. I'm already on 5 tablets for high blood pressure and 1 for depression every day. I don't want any more, I'll be rattling like a pair of sodding maracas.

Not sure what's kicked it off this time mate, haven't eaten or drank anything out of the ordinary. Kept off the cider, black pud and offal, although I do intend to cut down on the red meat.

 

I'll start taking Allopurinol again once this flare up has gone.

 

As for the tablets, tell me about it ! One day this week I took nefedipine, atenolol, ramipril, indometacin, allopurinol, black cherry concentrate, and celery seed extract all before breakfast !

 

I was looking on a gout website and thinking about cutting my toe off, but apparently it's a blood disorder, so if I did chop my toe off the gout would just pack it's bags and fuck off to another part of my body. What a snidey twat.
