Thank you David!  I am definitely new to gout as this has been my first and very soon after (within a few weeks) second bout!  I have been doing the baking soda, black cherry juice, huge diet change… if I have read it and it said “relief” I am doing it!  I am actually beyond the severe pain at this point but have swelling, stiffnes and an incredibly annoying inabliity to move my big toe.  Any suggestions as to how to relieve that part of it? 

BTW – your assessment of the meidcos was dead on for me… it was a diagnosis of conveinence and my wife and I both kept researching and talking to people to find out that it was for sure gout … then back to the doctor to tell him that we knew it was!  The meds they gave me for the pain and inflamation gave me horrible migraine headaches so… that didn't work! 

I am so grateful for this site and I look forward to hearing from any/everyone who has input!

Thanks!

hello everyone who is on this forum…

I am new to gout – just having my first bout and second within a few weeks.  I have been researching everything and trying anything… changing my diet, been drinking baking soda, drinking black cherry juice… now see the BBB and am wondering how / what to do!  Can someone explain to me what you are doing and what type of black bean is most successful!  turtle verses soy…

Secondly- the pain at this point is the least of my concerns – I am still experiencing a great deal of inflammation, stiffness and inability to move my big toe leaving me unbalanced.  Is this a common side effect for anyone else?  Do you have any suggestions to help?

Thanks everyone!
