Gout and statins

[Paul]

I just recently came down with Gout a few years ago for the first time. I had quite a few real bad attacks and sore in between attacks.
I have been looking at all the websites on this problem. I did a ton of investigating on the subject of gout treatment….
I have figured out what works for me so far no attacks for a year. When I had my last attack I a few different things and the pain and swelling went away within hours. Of course I dont think it ever goes completely away just lies dormant unless you get your acid levels down via diet and cherries…..My question to this forum is how many GOUT sufferes out there have been taking statin drugs for high chloresterol or meds for high blood pressure before getting gout for the first time?
Thank you very much in advance for your replies..

I hope other people join in. I hope Paul can explain a bit more about why he wants this information.

I started statins about 17 years after getting gout. I never have needed meds for high blood pressure.
