Well, I called my doctor to check into this and his nurse called me yesterday to let me know the doctor doesnt advise me to come off allopurinol, as my last reading was 10.7?? I don’t think that can be right, can it?? Oh well.? What the heck was it before I started allopurinol 8 years ago I wonder!? So much for this idea.? thanks for responding, Keith.
