    I'm very happy to have found this forum/website for gout support. I've had gout (officially) for a little over a year and I've gotten a lot of very poor info, things like “change your diet”, “don't drink alcohol in excess” (I don't drink alcohol at all), etc… This is the first place I've been where there is high quality information and knowledgeable, sympathetic people who post and help others. I plan to become an active member here and learn as much as I can about gout, then hopefully help others. Thank you for your kindness, generosity and graciousness!

    Hi and welcome Art,

    Your first order of business is to get yourself a uric acid test.

    Thanks! I've had the SUA test and I'm at 6.5, I'm taking 100mg of Allopurinol once a day (Day #3). I have a liver ailment that prevents the Dr from being more aggressive with the dosage. So far, I'm experiencing some tenderness in my toes, but that's it…
