[jms462001 9]

I went for my first fill today and completely forgot to ask!

GRRRRRRRRRRR!

but i just think that i'm going to talk to my regular dr and get back on allopurinoll. i was on it for a while..then some insurance thing happened and my dr wanst in my provider network..so i just stopped going for a refill...but they got things fixed now. so i guess i'll have to go and see her for a refill.

JMS- did your dr give you a food list of things to avoid? its hard to follow now because we have to eat Protein 1st...and that is what gout sufferes are supposed to avoid. :scared2:

I hear that cherry pills help keep uric acid levels down...basically any dark berries help too.

good luck!

I actually don't have gout (don't think so anyway!!) I have severe spinal disease and bad arthritis in the knees and back and sometimes get inflammation really bad especially if it gets really damp. This is why I take the nsaids. I do find that diet effects it and when I stay on a healthy diet, especially a cleansing diet, I see a huge difference. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I am going on a trip for two weeks so I will be bold and say that I never believed it was a true disease. I know there will be loads of response to that statement. I do know that many people have true pain and suffer for one reason or another.

I hope you get your meds worked out. I forgot to discuss it with my surgeon as well when I went for my two fills. Good luck to you!!
