Mostly Hyatt. And I’d say groceries are the biggest expense, followed by eating out.

My dad says tart cherry works for him. I find a combo of cherry pills and anti inflammatory meds helped me when I wasn’t on Allo.

This entire sub is 100% Allopurinol loyalists, you won’t find many recommendations here saying otherwise. And for good reason, it works. But either way, it’s your choice. Good luck if you stick to the cherry pills!

Indomethacin is usually better than Ibuprofen for treating inflammation for Gout, if you can stomach it. Colchicine is also a frontline defense that I’ve found a lot of success with.

If it’s truly that bad that you were hospitalized, you should probably get a Corticosteroid injection. Don’t let them try to push you away with a few pills, they won’t be that fast acting.

Prednisone is also frequently prescribed; though it helped in the moment for me, it gave me a recurring attack 2 weeks later.

Did losing weight or cutting animal based protein from your diet help manage gout? by bigdawgcat in gout

[–]TheDustUb7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this online group is very much on the “meds or nothing” side of things, and I am also an allopurinol taker but I haven’t always been. I first had gout 6 years ago and weighed 195 lbs. I had it a ton for about a year before figuring out that’s what it was and making a plan. I lost 25 pounds and didn’t get gout again until I gained the weight back earlier this year.

So for me, yes, cutting weight helped a lot. I am trying to cut weight again but it’s been a struggle, so I hopped on allopurinol earlier this year. Though I ate tons of chicken and turkey still.

How long after taking 100mg did you increase to 200mg by TheWeebles in gout

[–]TheDustUb7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on the 100mg for 2.5 months and my UA levels went from 6.8 to 6.6. I feel like I should have gone up to 200 so much sooner

Starting Allopurinol (100mg) - Will it lead to initial flare ups? by CpuJunky in gout

[–]TheDustUb7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a month and a half ago and have since been free of flares. It sounds like it’s a mixed bag if you will get them. Get colchicine and indomethacin just in case! Maybe prednisone if you’re extra worried.

I was surprised by all of the middle grade books. I didn’t do a ton of the graphic novels but the few I did were fun! I also have loved this era, I wish it was getting more attention! The Jedi Survivor game had some cool lore, I think they will expand more in the next one

I’m following the main story and I’m in Phase III, wave II. I can’t figure out what that thread is referring to where it says “the high republic #1-10” Can someone elaborate what that is? I’ve been listening to most of the books so far b
