They sent my blood test results to old address but on the phone told me my three blood tests… kidney, UA level, and liver were “normal”… I will find out what normal means.
Thanks, I am learning a lot from this forum. I was put on 300 AP twice a day for a month and indo 50 3 times a day…for a week, at the same time. This was a 1 month plan. After long drive (1000 miles) one month after I started….. my first knee flair…. Wow. I went to urgent care…. she dropped the Ap to 1 pill 100 mg once a day had me wait until I finished the indo 50 2 times a day. (10 days) Then I drove to FL. …. 1400 miles… and all was fine until I hit the hotel….worst pain ever in the same knee. I am 53 6' 2 225 lbs. I first had an attack in 2006 but after it passed went back to drinking wine and beer….but playing lots of tennis and walking in golf. I have been scared straight (walk or drink?) with the beer and wine…but I need to work out to sleep. I would have made myself shuffle if I knew it would have helped. The knee pain was worse than any football game injury I ever suffered. What about baking soda? Vitamin C ? I am eating no meat, seafood, ( is tuna ok?) black beans, whole wheat toast with peanut butter and lots of water….some coffee….and yogurt (new to my diet) I read so many views on what to eat… not to eat etc….I'm confident with the useless booze calories gone I will be back to my fit weight of 200-205 lb's. How long after wrong food will an attack occur? I am starting a meal history to track it. What about cookies? I will do what ever it takes. I do take alleve… only for pain….but I take no other meds. I pay my own way at the Dr's and travel for work (self employed) so I can't just run in and out with $100 bills. Should I buy a UA self tester? I can't afford to miss a week of work if I can avoid it through knowledge. I have never been in a chat room ……after college went straight to Alaska to avoid the tech world….but I need help.
I just drove thinking all was well …about 1400 miles. I went to sleep woke up with major pain in my knee. Drank only water and ate yogurt on the trip to avoid problems? I am new to this I had blood tests last month after similar flair from a long drive? all normal? I had been taking alliprinol and indomecin. The pain was so bad kept me in bed for 5 days? Any ideas? 53 and not drinking booze 20 lbs overweight? High stress lately from last flair.
