I wont be around today. *sniffle*
At 12:30 I have a hematologist appointment to get to the bottom of the blood issues.
At 3:30 Allie has her head CT to see if she has bone malformations in her ears that is keeping her from hearing good.
Then at 7 I have my sleep study.
*sigh* Long but hopefully productive day!

Don't forget me. I have all 6 kids and am laid up with a severe case of gout in my foot.
Prayer for the kids would be in order I suppose.

FQ --- fellow sufferer of the gout, I sympathize truly. Hope you get better sooner rather than later.

You take allopurinol?? $4 at the Wal-Mart pharmacy. Get it. It works. Almost eliminates flare-ups (but, if you start it in the middle of one, it can actually make it worse for a day or two). I've tried every remedy under the sun ... cherries, copious amounts of water, even tried to talk my wife into the one theory (I won't mention here!) that some home remedies call for (let your imagination roam, but I don't think it'll need to much).

I tried cherries and water, though.

My dad had gout... the Doc told him it was largely a dietary disease, and could be reduced/reversed by a radical change in the foods he consumed. Is that true?

It can be managed that way, yeah. Cut out all red meats and don't drink any red wine or beer. Now, although I do enjoy the latter, gout is one big (as in big toe) reason I seldom indulge in either of those beverages. Red meats'll do it, though, or any food rich in purine. French people, understandably, suffer gout in larger numbers -- rich foods, red wines, all that.
