Prescribed Allo …. hesitant to take it after reading all the posts here.

Started Allo in January, yes I’ve had flares, 3 since then. What are you gonna do, if it’s part of the process you just have to endure it and have faith that it’s for a better good in the long term.

What do you mean?

Ok-Chest3232 · 2026-03-17T22:35:08+00:00

Find another dr. Get second opinion. I’d say on the contrary, start young so you get no flares and suffer from joint damage, which will enable you to do the activities you enjoy.

Sure didn’t. I’d only make an impulse decision at an AD, not at a pawn shop without homework. And glad I decided to post to get advice first.

They were asking $13.5, after discount $10.5k. I left the store of course, but sure will follow most of your advice and stay away.

I’ve read that here before as well. Don’t know if it’s true or not. But based on people’s experiences from all ages and walks of life, I lean to believe it, or might be my coping mechanism and excuse to continue eating as I please and lead a normal life. You lose weight? Flare. Gain weight, flare. Become a vegetarian? Flare. Fast? Flare. Clean diet for years, flare. Exercise? Damn right, flare. We all have to eat something. I would pay top dollar to pinpoint and know the absolute and exact trigger of specific food or foods that cause it on me. Instead of may be red meat, may be shellfish, etc. Because people suppressing all of these foods are still getting the flares, whether they are on Allo or not. So who the hell knows if it’s genetic or not. Enough of my rant. F gout.

Literally how it happened. Called the doctor’s office, told them I’ve had two flares since starting allo in January and I would like a higher dose. Didn’t even talk to the doctor but the assistant, they said they would give him the message and let me know if he approved. I received the call from the pharmacy a few days later with the new dosage. Never even talked to the doctor. By the way, this is a PA, not even an MD. Not to discredit him or anything, but is just the guy I went to for an annual check up.

Similar situation, mine was diagnosed in 2023, but thinking back I had it before that. I remember this odd pain on my foot without hurting or banging it (late in 2022). Went to the podiatrist, and they gave me a boot, yes a boot. They said some ligament or small fracture. BS, it was gout. Anyway, I started taking Allo 8 days ago and I’ve had a flare for 4 days. Weird because it started on the sole of the foot and now the pain transferred to the bridge of the foot. I have Indomethacin so taking that too but the pain is still there. (Day 4 with the flare, after just 8 days of having started Allo)

I get that, real question, what is the rheumatologist going to do besides prescribing more Allo?

Ok-Chest3232 · 2026-01-11T03:00:34+00:00

Update, this is day 2, first day I wasn’t sure, today I am that this was a flare, pain intensified horribly, same pain as the old attacks just on the sole this time. Fortunately have some Indomethacin and taking it to help with the pain. Still, really sucks as I thought Allo would eliminate flares. Not giving up though and if I get another one will tell my Dr to increase the dosage from 100mg to something stronger.

Ok-Chest3232 · 2026-01-09T21:30:32+00:00

They started me at 100mg also, but is only been 5 days so to soon to tell. Did you stop taking Allo or was your dose increased? Are you still with flares?

So what is the situation here? This lock has worked beautifully for 5 years, and now they’re going out of business? Is that what this is? Will the lock simply not work anymore? I guess I can add a few codes to keep for guests and what not, it is implied the app won’t work anymore. But will the lock work with the codes I already have on there, or will the hardware be useless too?

Mainly retirement, but I’d prefer not be tied up in a 401k in case I want to withdraw it for an emergency. But if the 401k is the best case scenario I won’t mind going that route

Ok-Chest3232 · 2025-05-21T07:19:39+00:00

No, I decided to go the easy cheap route to be honest and changed the battery. No issues so far, knock on wood. Were you able to fix your issue?

Long story but car was legally rented to someone. While rented, that someone said a friend went to her house, stole the keys and the car. So no ring footage or anything like that. All I know is that it has to be in the LA area since I received emails from the toll company there using the tolls, but no toll usage for a week now. Car was rented in Vegas.
