So it’s not the food I eat, it my body producing it now. I’m on a different level for gout treatments then since I don’t fit the typical treatment. I have to search for “Ways to lower uric acid produced by body.” I guess I’ll have to test and see. Thanks for the info and I’ll continue to seach the forum and from my experiences.
Keith so I’m back and I got my blood test results. The blood test shows my uric acid level at 5.9. Which is too high I believe. Dang it! I’m still taking my 200mg of allopurinol daily though, but now I’m taking 100mg after lunch and 100mg after dinner right after the meal. I’ve also added Black cherry juice to my diet just in case.
Now to lower my uric acid under 5.0 gosh this is going to kill me. I’m already dieting as much as possible, but I’m going to work on it maybe I can find the or a trigger food. I’ve seen pictures of tophis already and I’m not going there. My limp is still here after a month, but I’m guessing the crystals are still dissolving and my joints are recoving. But again this is only my second attack. As I’ve read in the forums uric acid was probably forming all through the years. I’ve also stop colchicine since aleve works just fine now and yes Limpyrichard it was only .6.How long does it take to lower my uric acid level if I keep up the good work? I made a date with my doctor to get another blood test in 3 months. If it gets lower than 4 and I’m still getting the attacks I’m going to be very dissapointed.
Well Keith I wouldn’t know where you would file this as you mentioned “under bad allopurinol dose or avoiding pain during first few weeks of uric acid lowering treatment?”
Thanks for the reply. Right now I’m taking 200mg of allopurinol I take it 15minutes after dinner and 2 hours before I go to sleep. i’m not sure what the best time to take it to make it more efficient. So today I saw my doctor and though it doesn’t hurt much he prescribed me colchicine. So I took 100mg of that. I also did a blood and urine test during visit. I’ll post the results as soon as I get them. I consider this attack minor compared to what I got the first time, but I’m still worried. I’m really hoping my uric acid is lowering and that it’s not a bad allopurinol dose.
Ok. I haven?t got gout in 3 years since the first time. Then six months ago I got it, which was not as bad as the first time. It went away in 3 days and after 2 weeks my foot was totally normal again. So the doctor put me on allopurinol. Then 6 months later, just a little under a month from today it came back but this time on my right foot at my Achilles tendon (It has never hit my right foot). Since then it hasn?t got better. The pain hit hard the first week and then it was gone. Now it?s week 3 weeks going on 4 and my tendon is weak, sore, stiff and sometimes hot. I can walk but I limp and there is only a little bit of pain which I can bare and no pain when I do nothing. Otherwise if it starts heating up I take an Aleve. I was reading this site it said not to stop using allopurinol so I didn?t. I don?t know what is going on. Nothing seems to be working cherries, diets etc. By the way I run a lot when I?m not hurt. My BMI is right and weight is right. I also eat really healthy. I?m also seeing my doctor tomorrow too. What?s going on. I?m trying of limping. Any ideas?
