Zip, once again, many thanks for your reply.
So, basically I undertake a life course of A initially using C to manage the pain the A will bring due to my immune system breaking down the UA crystals, once UA crystals/levels in blood below 6/5 stop using C and take A each day moving forwards.
I can eat steak etc and drink alcohol without worrying about a a G reoccurence?
Best
C
Ha Ha Ha, great response Zip, many thanks.
Will take on board your comments re Colchicine immediately (is it true I can only use it for a short while? I can not use it indefinitely but have to move to A for a long term cure), will be visiting GP tomorrow.
As for your comments re Indomethacin, yes, I have always been aware to the negative side effects of this drug and have only ever used it because my over worked GP prescribed it years ago, has never seen me since, and always re-issues a repeat prescription. Just as well it seems I have a strong stomach?
Thanks for confirming gut feeling re lasers for gout, pain can be such a convincing sales motivator!
Do I HAVE to spend the rest of my life on A and be punished should I forget to administer my daily dosage?
If I take on board A, will I ever be able to come off it without cutting off my toe (or losing my mind) should I manage to arrange my UA levels to acceptable levels.
As to controlling my UA levels, I have read much on the subject on this site, if I purchase a UA monitoring kit and dose up with Bi Carb and take my A etc will I still be able to eat a steak once a week and perhaps sup a glass of red wine?
Have also taken on board Milk Thistle as an alternative to allopurinol, I think beefing up my liver's capabilities may be the way forward?
Once again, thanks for your advice and help.
