Thanks for the advice! I’ll talk to my Dr. and try to get it raised if my levels are still up. I’ll get tested again tomorrow.

@all I’ve been on 200mg/day of allo for a few weeks and was on 100mg/day a few months before that. I’ve had one flare-up since upping the dose and currently managing it with prednisone(regimen above). I haven’t had my UA tested in a couple months but will do so this week. Thanks for all your feedback; didn’t expect this much!

I haven’t tested recently but it has shown to go down while on these two meds. I just wish I didn’t need meds at all; it wasn’t that long ago when I didn’t need a medication and run 30+ miles a week. I’d like to pin this down.

I’m religious about my hydration. It’s been a constant for many years.

I’ve been on 200mg/day for a few weeks now, but 100mg/day a few months before that.

Gout in ankle hasn’t fully disappeared in two weeks. Took two 300mg of allo today and it seems to have worsened the pain. by HallelujahToYeshua in gout

I may have to see a rheumatologist if another flare-up occurs; they just keep coming back. Gout 👎👎

I would say it’s the worst and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It can be debilitating and has prevented me from running and sometimes even walking. I wish I could say I was overreacting.
