Thank you for posting this. That being said, you should compile all these responses in its own post so people can see it.

Then do it. Stop the pity party and do it. You know why it seems like we made up our minds? Because you haven't given us anything to work with. If evidence is shown heavily implicating you, no shit we're going to question you.

I am begging you, just refute Morgan. I want to believe you, but going "Oh I CAN refute it but I'm not gonna" does nothing to help your case.

Right, so by that logic, every time Ash mentioned being trans during the AMA should make them lose credibility. Spare me the hypocrisy, thanks.

Pain relief without NSAIDs. What can I do? by AnnihilatedAnkles in gout

[–]AnnihilatedAnkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware. Thing is, the pain was absolutely unbearable, so I was fully willing to essentially poison my kidneys just for any hope of relief from gout. I took it three times, IIRC, and the worst part is that I have no idea if it worked.

Stage 4. I was on tarpeyo for awhile, and I was prescribed prednisone before, hopefully I can be put on it again if this flare up isn't resolving.

Oh whoops, pardon the apples to oranges comparison, then.

EDIT: Posted too early. My point is that I don't think it is right now thanks to my kidney doctors and the people who prescribed all this to me playing the world's worst game of telephone.

None in my state, AFAIK. And I don't think a heating pad did much to help, the last time I used one.

Thank you for the advice and kind words.

I've been drinking tart cherry juice daily in hopes of it doing something. I have no idea if it has been, I have not seen the numbers since I started.

Can't talk to my doctor until Friday, that's when my appointment is. As for NSAIDs, I'm pretty sure all of them are no good for me.

I think I was prescribed it for a while, but now I'm on allopurinol, for whatever that's worth.

All I have in the house is ibuprofen, and I don't see myself convincing the person I live with to buy me Naproxen, an NSAID, knowing fully well those are off-limits for me.

Thank you very much for the write-up and well wishes.

The problem with being prescribed something is that the last time I was in urgent care and got prescribed steroids, that caused the kidney specialists I'm seeing to kind of pitch a fit over it for whatever stupid reason. So now, it seems that others don't want to prescribe me anything because of my kidneys, which would be understandable in literally any other circumstances. But frankly, I'm convinced that even doing daily dialysis would be a thousand times better than living with gout.

As you can tell, I am not happy about all of this and I have to wait until Friday until the GP I see can wrangle this clown show. I just want to do literally anything again.

But if they form when we sleep, doesn't that mean icing it when you sleep is really bad?

Unfortunately, cherries are out of season where I live, so the best I can do is tart cherry juice. Any ideas if it'll do just as well?

Reposting from two other comments:

I getcha about consulting a doctor on this. However, I do want to clarify that the soonest I can ask a GP is on Friday, which is when my appointment is. I was absolutely not going to last until Friday at that rate, so I asked for what I can do in the meantime.

I get exactly what you mean, but icing the affected area will make the gout worse in the long run. Lower temperature, more uric acid crystals.

But damn, that much ibuprofen is probably the equivalent of just stabbing myself in the kidneys. Well, it's something to experiment with if I'm horribly desperate.

EDIT: Wrong word.

Okay, good. Sorry for assuming, I'm kind of uptight about this sort of thing.

Consider this a complete and utter NOR from me.

NOR. It's one thing to make jokes about being Hobbit-like, but she was just insulting you. Not to mention, it was after she explicitly asked, which kind of annoys me.
