Purpose of GoutPal’s Gout Network

As I’ve said, I’m here to help you control your gout. Gout treatment has to be personal. Professional rheumatologists advise your doctor that treatment must be tailored to each individual’s personal circumstances:

the ultimate determination regarding [American College of Rheumatology Guidelines for Management of Gout] to be made by the physician in light of each patient’s individual circumstances.
[…]
treat to the serum urate target appropriate for the individual patient

I’ve used those principles of gout management to provide GoutPal’s Gout Guidelines. They are general guidelines that expand general principles in practical ways. But, to apply these guidelines, you must personalize them. This is where we work together.
