    Well, the pain in my left knee is not from walking on the side of my left foot from a flare-up in my foot like I was hoping….it's the gout. The Allop must be working cause it's in my knee now…warm, swelling, & starting to get red.  

    Lady Colchicine is putting on her dress now and we are going dancing tonight.  Popped 2 the first hour then another the second hour. My wife is coming with my refill and I'll pop another one every hour until things well(start happening).  I've made it to 9 before, so we'll see what it takes tonight.  It will probably be a long night but I've missed enough work over this and it just has to be done.  Hello Lady Colchicine……

    Thanks for the welcome vegetarianGuy & zip2play!

    zip2play, the statement about “colchicine cleaning your blood of UA” is probably my error in understanding the doctor rather than the doctor being wrong.  We talked and I was trying to absorb many things in a short time. Anyway, I guess it was a prelude to the start of Allopurinol.   So taking colchicine with Allopurinol is not a problem?  I either missed that part with the doctor or he didn't say.  Also, i read where fatigue is a common side effect.  I'm out of work today just doing nothing due to my foot & knee and I am much more tired than normal.  I'm on my 3rd day of 300mg Allop.  Is this fatigue something that will diminish or will it be a daily part of the Allop treatment?

    Thanks for the welcome, Limpy. And yes I am from North Carolina.  Some may think my user id is from pig or hog hunting, but it is actually from bass fishing.  A lot of times here large bass are called hawgs so that's where I got it from.  Joining a bass fishing forum is much more fun, but I guess we will have to make the best of this forum as I believe it will help.
