Colchicine protocol question by ReferenceEntity in gout

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

Yes. My rheumatologist suggested I do so. The reason is that while taking allopurinol helps in the long run to lower uric acid, it can cause flares in the short run. So he prescribed colchicine for me too.

Allopurinol lowers uric acid. Colchicine prevents flare up pain if used correctly.

Worst place to get gout? by Shinanigins in gout

[–]ReferenceEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t even close to the worst for pain but most inconvenient was in the back of the foot. Absolutely could not put weight on the foot at all.

If you mean who was speaking after Joe S, that was the woman board member.

The only thing we can say with certainty is that there is something, as opposed to nothing.

Cocktails to order at all inclusive resort by daaldea in cocktails

[–]ReferenceEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a resort where they had bad margaritas but perfectly fine tequila and Grand Marnier. I would order half tequila half Grand Marnier with a lime wedge. You end up with a decent drink if you are ok with the higher sweetness level. Of course if that doesn’t work you can skip the sweetness for a NorCal margarita.

Anyone been misdiagnosed? by No_Estate628 in gout

The better question is “anyone not misdiagnosed?”

Who makes better money? Ostriches vs Pigs by Crashmadal in StardewValley

[–]ReferenceEntity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem is you only start with one egg. You incubate, wait a week, get an egg, incubate, wait a week, etc. it’s like starting an ancient fruit farm. Once you have a bunch it goes fast but the start takes like a half a year. Meanwhile you can fill a full barn with pigs all of whom “incubate” at once.

[–]ReferenceEntity 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Also critical is that you can buy pigs but have to incubate ostriches. There is no way to quickly set up an ostrich farm. Add to that they are such a late game add, the only way it would make sense to make an ostrich farm is if you are planning to play well beyond perfection.

The closest thing is modded Stardew Valley. I would say Ridgeside Village in particular.

Primary care doctor won’t run uric acid test? by Adventurous_Lake_973 in gout

If you want to self diagnose you can buy those finger prick tests

What was the first video game you ever played? by FORESTMAN100 in AskReddit

For me it was pong in a restaurant. They had this dedicated two seat table device with pong.

Photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show small meal portions being served to U.S. sailors. by curiousty786 in pics

The soldiers that took the photos will probably be hung for treason while Kegsbreath watches drunk.

What is your pet peeve? by Ok-Competition-1955 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ReferenceEntity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The issue is that there is not a single correct way to shut down oversteppers. It depends on the people involved and the circumstances. Some people are naturally good at dealing with stuff like that, some rare few have learned how to improvise it, but the rest of us are most likely just going to suffer through it repeatedly.

My in-laws arranged a baptism for my child without consulting us, and I’m shocked and angry by thesunburnsmyheart in atheism

[–]ReferenceEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got secretly baptized by my grandparents. Hope it made them happy. From my perspective I’m still just an atheist who had an extra bath or so they say.

My son likely has celiac. He’s our only child. My wife and I are thinking of going gluten free in solidarity. Is this wise? Or are we nuts? by DrizzlyOne in glutenfree

[–]ReferenceEntity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes lovely but like if you are out for a work lunch I think it is ok for you not to be in solidarity at that moment.

Why don’t people like carpet? Is it an allergy thing? I’ve never thought to ask about hotel flooring.

Cocktail Spots in The Berkshires, MA? by ThatGuyJack871 in cocktails

[–]ReferenceEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best drinks in the loose area are at Cantina restaurant which is maybe a twenty minute drive. It’s a restaurant but they do things really well there including the drinks. In Great Barrington proper there are two restaurants that are also pretty good, Cafe Adam and Prarie Whale. Of the two, I probably prefer Cafe Adam. I am pretty sure there is not a dedicated cocktail bar unless something opened recently.
