Yep my suspicion was correct. Another gout attack but this time in the right ankle. Just popped the colchicine and indocine. Hopefully it doesn’t cripple me as for the blood test I’m trying to get new results for it. Still continuing the allupurinol per day though. @Keith hahahah we see what happens
My tolerance towards the meds are normally quite good. I do notice that they do cause mood swings but lucky my patience and tolerance with people is quite [email protected] Unfortunately I live in Sydney, but luckily I live in Cabramatta which has accupunturist every 30m. The acupuncturist unfortunately I didn’t get to try because unfortunately the one my mom recommends is on holidays. My gout attack has subsided but feels like its going to flare up again (i feel pain twitching finger cross its just my mind missing the pain), but nothing of discomfort or painful yet. Other than that its finally good to be able to walk like a normal person again. Current routine is 300mg of allupurinol a day been 7 days since my last attack lets see how this plays out. @Squilliam cheers buddy hopefully they figure out how to cure it permanently.
Thankyou keith for your concerns and I greatly appreciate it. Been trying every remedy under the sun but i’m trying not to let this thing beat me and I shall post my blood test results once I’m able to locate it. As for the tophi I think there is already a permanent lump on my big toe. Doctor told me I had to surgically remove it but there was no point in case of an attack happening again it would be worse and advised me against it not sure if its true or not but when doctors normally see it I can see a big sigh on their face. But I will keep on trying and try to figure this out, and I will try to post on this forum at least once every 30 day for an update as to the condition. Fingers crossed 2015 brings in a new start. So far at count 1 attack as of 2015. Ah i forgot to include prednisone as well as well i normally take 25mg than decrease slowly overtime as soon as I feel an attack happening. Just out of curiosity what’s your opinion on Febuxostat. Relatively new med that’s equivalent to 300mg of allupurinol or so that I read but I’m no doctor. Should I keep on taking alluprinol after the attack subsides or request febuxostat from the doctor if they approve. Going to the doctors again today to see what else they can do for me and also going to try acupuncture for the first time. Will post if it helps relieves pain or not.
