Impact of Celery Seed Extract for Gout

GoutPal's information about celery seed extract for gout is in the news this week. As market.us, an internationally renowned market reports company analyzes the celery seed extract company[1]. Now many of the news agencies reporting this study are mistaken about GoutPal's role. Because they describe GoutPal as one of the major vendors of celery seed products. But the report clearly describes GoutPal as a "Major Player". So read on to see why this crucial difference is important to gout sufferers. Also, read my summary of celery seed information for gout sufferers. Plus a bonus for people who are really interested in learning about gout and uric acid. continue reading Impact of Celery Seed Extract for Gout...

At the moment, my gout story is easy. Because I'm taking allopurinol each day. So gout doesn't bother me personally. Although I do have visible tophi which I think will last for years. But my GoutPal role is very busy right now. Because I'm moving servers. So I'm taking the opportunity to reorganize and redesign. continue reading When Keith Started GoutPal.com...

Graph Uric Acid Level

by KeithTaylor Comment Closed
The first of today's short gout questions is graph uric acid level. It seems a strange question. Graph uric acid level against what? A particular gout treatment? A particular gout diet? Let me explain uric acid levels in general terms, then you can interpret your data against particular aspects of your own gout treatment or lifestyle. The most important thing about uric acid level graphs is (more…)...

Lisinopril and Gout

by GoutPal HelpDesk Comment Closed
[This Lisinopril and Gout discussion moved from old forum August 2009] My Experiences with Lisinopril and Gout Lisinopril belongs to a group of drugs known as ACE inhibitors. These drugs are used to treat hypertension and a number of other maladies. I was put on Lisinopril approximately three weeks after my blood pressure skyrocketed to 177/99 while I was at my local clinic, causing me to collapse in to a chair. This incident was brought on by a huge sleep deficit and extremely high level of stress. After about thirty minutes, my blood pressure did fall back to 139/92 (or so), which was still above my average BP over the last three months of 127/85. The doctor that insisted that I go on Lisinopril was not my regular doctor and in fact, was quite condescending, failing to listen to a word I said to him. On my medical records, it showed that at one point last...

Do you have Gout In Your Shoulder?

by KeithTaylor Comment Closed
I am putting together some new articles on gout in unusual joints, and I'm looking for experiences from people who have had gout attacks in the shoulder. The common view of gout is that it is confined to the big toe. However, I know from many sources that this is not true, including my own experiences. I have also done a survey of over 4000 visitors to GoutPal, and the big toe is not the most common joint affected. I will publish those results soon, and I want to support that with experiences of people with gout in other joints. Starting with the shoulder, often the clavicle, I am keen to learn if you had any difficulty getting the condition recognized. If you were given a diagnosis of shoulder gout, did you get it treated effectively? Did you require surgery? ... gout has also been known to make its first appearance in the ankles, hands, amd shoulders. Gout can be deceiving because attacks are sometimes...

Is Doctor Allopurinol Killing You?

by KeithTaylor Comment Closed
This one is to allopurinol takers everywhere. Why do you put up with such shoddy service? Every week, I get messages from gout sufferers, and their carers, about problems with allopurinol. Most of these show that absolutely no thought has gone into the treatment. If you bought a car with only two wheels, would you accept it and drive round in a shower of sparks? If you called a plumber to fix your leak, would you be happy to pay a weeks wages for him to merely turn the water off? Would you pay an optician who grabbed the nearest pair of specs and said, "Here, these will do," without testing your eyes? Why take allopurinol without checking that it is doing it's job? (more…)...
