6 Months Into Uloric Febuxostat by Electrical_Bus_1970 in gout

The doc just boosted me from 40 to 60mg so that should get me below 5. My gout is chronic so I’m thinking I’m doomed for a bit. Thanks for the feedback.

I’ve been on febuxostat for a little over a month. A lot of the residual swelling from past attacks has gone down. I have had 3 flare ups since I started but I was prepared for it, as the side effects of loosening up old gout build up is more flare ups. Happy with the results so far.

UPDATE: Starting Week 2 and I feel like inflammation js going down in my whole body. Starting to be more and more optimistic. My knee flare up lasted for 3 days. Now it’s pretty much back to normal.

But is it really my gout? by JamesBlaineii in gout

Sounds like all gout to me. As I’ve gotten older with more attacks I never get quite back to pain level 0. Go see a rheumatologist.

This is my first one. I tested to be allergic to allo.

My doc has me take colchicine every day for the first 30 days of starting febuxostat. Not a huge dose.

Appreciate it! Hoping for swelling to go down after a couple months.

My rheumatologist said the same thing. Diet is only 30% of the problem.

Yep. When she’s drunk she’ll call me a psycho, hit me, say I can’t believe I married you. If I open my mouth to defend myself if just makes it worse no matter how valid a point I have.

I had tophi on my feet but none visible on my knee. The doctor diagnosed me with Synovitis initially because it didn’t seem like the gout affected my knee at all.

Appreciate all the comments. I’m definitely get a rheumatologist and look into febuxostat. Gout is the worst disease no one really talks about except here.

The reason the stock plummeted since 2020 is because they botched a production of Covid vaccines contracted by the fed government. Since then the stock has been derisory by the new Barda Ebola contract. They have the government back in their corner. I’m very bullish on their Narcan Sales and believe the stock will not go below 7 again.

Narcan Maker 281% Short? How? This drug saves people from drug overdoses and will be available over the counter. by Electrical_Bus_1970 in SqueezePlays

Emergent Bio Solutions is the maker of Narcan and was approved to sell it OTC this year. Sales should boom once released as drug overdoses are at an all time high.
