    I raised this question to my doctor and he informed me the infertility issues with Allopurinol are more for females, not males.  Is this accurate?  I want to make sure.  Any insight would be helpful.  Thanks.

    Thanks.  I am not a body builder.  However, I do regularly exercise and do some weight training.  I take a scoop of whey protein sometimes after my workout.  That is all.  Thoughts?

    I got my blood drawn after lunch last week.  I got the results today and it was 8.0.  Keep in mind it was near 10 a few months ago.  Since my attack started 2 weeks ago, I have since elminated most high purine foods and alcohol from my diet.  I am at a point now where I can begin exercising as my foot has healed for the most part.   I just turned in my 24 hour urine sample this morning and they drew more blood as I was fasting.  I am interested in the results and will keep you all posted.  I did have a few more questions……:)  You all have been very helpful and I appreciate it.

    1)  Any insight into the 24 hour uring test would be helpful.  Why is this test important?  Especially in deciding the dosage of Allo.  My doctor did write a 300mg prescription.  He said not to get it filled until after he reads the test results.  After the test results come back, I will ask for a lower dosage of 100mg as you recommended. 

    2)  I have never had an attack last more than a few days.  It has been over 2 weeks on this one.  My ankle and toe has almost healed.   Can this be b/c I have eliminated meats and alcohol for the past few weeks and my body is trying to dissolve the already accumulated deposits?  I never used to get them in my ankle but recently I am.  It was usually in the toe. 

    3)  I asked this before and maybe crazy…..When I used to drink a few beers, I could almost immediately feel a rush into my toe.  Like it was already accumulating.  I told my doctor and he said he has heard this before.  Anyone else had this feeling?

    Thanks for the detailed reply!  I found this site and it has helped me tremendously.  I will definitely keep you posted on my progress.  I know I could suffer long term damage if I don't dissolve the accumulation in my toes and ankles.  As odd as it sounds, even after a few beers, I feel a rush of pressure into my toes.  I do have self-control and will manage with diet.  However, I think Allo is necessary to properly rid my body of the deposits.  At which point, I will manage my number and control with a lower dose of Allo and diet.  Thanks again sir!
